  did man go to the moon?.

  just watched an amazing programme that claimed the moon landings were faked.i was supprised at how compeling the evidence against a moon landing was.anyone know more about the subject?.

  if it is true that this didn't happen it raises a whole lot of questions about how trust worthy our governments are.

  This was sort of touched on in an old movie entitled "Capricon One". The only difference is NASA faked landing on Mars. Not a bad flick, even though OJ Simpson was one of the astronauts.

  Yeah I think this is a new procedure. My wife got a call from her book study conductor wanting her time (this was Monday the 5th). She hasn't been out in service for several months now, and he knew that. However since the circuit overseer is coming by the end of August, he had to get creative or he would have to explain to the CO why yet another publisher had gone inactive. So he asked her if she was studying with our kids. When she said she read the Bible to them, he said "Well that's good for 4 hours right there." Having got what he wanted, the conversation quickly ended.

  I wonder how many hours Jesus counted when he spoke to his disciples and answered their questions . . . . .

  no it's all on record.

  on the dateline program they showed official watchtower documents that showed the dude in nevada had been accused by 17 girls in congregations around the country of being molested by him.

  "Do not give what is holy to dogs, neither throw your pearls before swine, that they may never trample them under their feet and turn around and rip you open." -- Matt. 7:6

  It's not bad to bring it up, nor is it bad to talk about the subject. Realize that it's more about them, than you. But once you bring it up and their mind is closed, then it is time to let it go and move on in order to protect yourself.

  U.S. War with Iraq

  i just wanted to get some opinions on this matter from everyone.

  support here in the states is pretty solid but very weak in europe.

  i will make my prediction (ie you know) that we will be having a little sand party within a year.

  I don't know why, but I just keep getting this sinking feeling that extending the war to Iraq would be like swimming in Jell-o. You can fight like hell, but you just won't get anywhere.

  i believe punishment meted out to these despicable "parents" should be:

  [ ] have the state put them to death!

  [ ] have the state imprison them for life!

  Let's see, if these were JWs, then they would probably be interviewed during the next circuit assembly symposium on How To Be A Good Parent.

  Maybe we're not supposed to get it. Maybe the point is "how" we get there rather than the end result.

  Disfellowship article-Make them squirm

  by good2bgone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the august km disfellowshipping article will be discussed the weeks of aug 19 & 26. i'm thinking of explaining the shunning policy to a reporter or some friends.

  they could go to the meeting that night and explain before the meeting that they are interested in listening and learning what jw's believe and see how they treat others.

  would it make the elders squirm when the article is discussed?

  Good point LB. If the elders knew this was a reporter, there would be no way he/she would be allowed to stay. They would surely escort them out. I love the idea of identifying themselves afterward and asking various people their reaction to the KM article though . . . .

  Congrats! Hey, think there's any chance he could move up to help the Cowboys? The only problem with that is he'd have to deal with Jerry . . .

  it takes but one major star, producer or hollywood executive to take the tragic silentlambs saga to heart.

  imagine kevin costner as bill bowen.

  i'm still trying to decide the actors who should play each of the governing body members... .

  What about Ossie Davis or Bill Cosby for J.R. Brown? My wife says I'm wrong and the part of Ted Jarecz should be played by Patrick Stewart.

  Make it so ....
