having an interesting time at the moment with my faith journey.
my hubs was confirmed a catholic and his views are no women priests because there weren't any in the bible.
hence, the absence in rc churches.. my mother is a jw.
Opposition to women priests is possibly the main thing that stopped me going eastern orthodox. Well, that and the silly hats.
Anyway... I can't imagine ever joining another religious community that thinks people like Jgnat have nothing/little to offer. Such a waste.
had a sermon on the above today.
can i have some background and meaning to this, please?
?i'm convinced i never learnt anything at the kh!!.
Wiki's often helpful: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfiguration_of_Jesus
I like this take on it too (by a woman priest, no less!): http://www.patheos.com/blogs/nadiabolzweber/2012/03/sermon-on-the-transfiguration-and-how-seminary-is-like-hogwarts/
dear all,.
could someone explain where it is written that mservants should be doing the congregation average/10 hours minimum?.

My Dad used to put in my report for me, boy was I surprised when I found out I had a 13 hour average...
no silly meetings.
no wasting time knocking on doors, bothering people.....life is good..
Oh how I don't miss that feeling of dread about field service I suffered every Friday night!
top ten signs you're a fundamentalist christian.
10 - you vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.. .
9 - you feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the biblical claim that we were created from dirt.. .
They're a fundamentalist something alright, maybe not christian?
according to many christian churches including wbtc, the very cores of christian believes, is about how god (jehova) sacrifice his one borne son, so that every obedient mankind who believe in him could be released from sin and thereby have the hope of eternal life.
the bible is full of scriptures given this indication.

Bugbear!
Considering a few hours ago you thought god should have destroyed the whole earth for killing his son, I find it odd that you now want a god less brutal then the one who destroyed a few cities.
You won't find a much less brutal god then this one:
'Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing'
Now there's a guy I want to trust my eternal destiny too.

If I were God I should become furious, and let my angels cast burning stones and sulfur on the entire earth. I should extinguish every trace of the human race, since they obviously (proven) were very bad creatures
Then thank god you're not god?
sam , "kate wild", asserted that i am an evangelist for atheism, o.k then, here is the atheist "good news".. "there is no god, now relax and enjoy life"..
I tend to think the best thing about atheism is that you no longer need to 'save' people or generally care about people's beliefs which is why I find a manual for creating atheists a weird concept.
my jw mother drives me nuts.
she lives in quite a cut-off part of the uk and this year, is expected to travel to hq (rugbyfans), aka twickenham.
she's great to make the trip, it's like a spiritual holiday for her.. i said i thought it ridiculous and unreasonable for the gb to expect people to travel that far and pay for accommodation near london.

Frazzled, it's first weekend in August.
My brother could have stayed with me which is 30 minutes from Twickenham but he has to stay in a hotel because I'm an evil apostate. Ah well.
