recently an elder called mike's mob phone wanting to speak to me, the only person who could have passed on that info was my elder dad.
mike has been waiting for my dad to call him to arrange to see the kids, as he wont deal with me at all.
so mike said to him i dont appreciate you giving our number out to the elders, we want nothing to do with them or your religion etc... mike than called me and said there was so much more i wanted to tell him.. i get a phone call about 30 mins later, mike had rang my dad and said if you want to see your grandkids then there are a few rules you will need to follow, 1. dont ever give out our personal details (which my dad apologised for and acknowldeged that he shouldnt have done that ) and 2. if you want to see your grandkids you need to speak to your daughter, you can msg her phone or even speak to her.
Kisses and Kudos to your amazing husband!! Bravo!!!!
Grandpa IS setting a terrible, wretched example of "love", and he deserves to be called on it. I applaud your husband for not letting him weasel out with such a miserable explanation, and laying down the rules!

jesus said, "i am the way, the truth, and the life.
" he didn't say he had the way, or that he had the truth, or that he had the life.. according to the bible, jesus is the truth; if you know the truth, the truth will set you free.. jehovah's witnesses set their dogma and religion in the place of jesus.
they refer to their dogma and religion by a role that jesus said he would personally fulfill; they call it "the truth.".
5/ Is He risen (could He die? - did the universe have a period without its triune God?). Is the Truth physical or is that a form that is created at will and discarded at will (is Catholic transubstantiation therefore possible?) If you met Jesus today would you see God, a dove, a man with physical form? What is the resurrection if the body is non-permanent anyway?
I just have time to reply to this section.
God in His own nature cannot die; Christ took upon himself human nature, so that he could do through that nature what the nature of God inherently cannot. The triune God did not disintegrate when the Son's physical nature died, for it did not kill his divine nature, which spoke to the spirits in prison. (I disagree with Auld Soul here.)
The Truth is exactly whatever Jesus calls it. This , from our perspective, can look arbitrary. If Jesus said "Live" to someone who has died, they will live. If not, they will not. The truth has constancy and yet also a living/changing quality about it.
If you met Jesus today, I think you would see a man exalted by God with a glorified physical body that is suitable for the spiritual realm. There is a "man" at the helm--on the throne of heaven. That is good news for our race. There is nothing evil about our physical bodies; God has honored them.
IMO.

Yes, I've read that before.
is contradicting Josephus' own take on the Jeremiah prophecy about the 70 years.
So the interpretation is ultimately left up to Josephus? His is weighty input, but still isn't what the scripture said.
JER 25:11 This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
JER 25:12 "But when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation, the land of the Babylonians, for their guilt," declares the LORD..

i've been researching prior postings gathering info but mostly reading because i've been 'out' for almost 14 years.
i still have numerous relatives that are still 'in' and when we get together those still in seem to get a sort of kick out of discussing super double secret goings on with 'new light' and changes in the cult.
it's been fun to be able to say, "oh you mean the change in length of the sunday talk?
back to the top!
It brings the thread back to the top of the active topics list, which is the listing many people look at to see who's on, what's current...
And welcome, Rising Eagle! Congrats on a long marriage! It's the best revenge too, I suppose, in your case.

i went to the grocery store today - no that's not your fault.. it's 103 degrees today, not bad.
there were three people sitting in the shade in front of the grocery store.
there was a middle aged woman, an older man in a wheelchair, and a thin man whose frozen smile screams "elder.
Let me join the accolades! You deserve them! I loved your surprise intro, "You know what I remember?..." You sure had their attention! I don't think these guys will forget you, nor be able to shrug off what you said.
Thanks for rushing here to tell us!

In other words, you can have your cake and eat it, too: 609 BC fulfills the 70 years, and 586/7 is indeed the destruction of Jerusalem. No conflict.
The WTS won't like this, of course, because this will completely upset their chronology for 1914 and 1918... and thus their 'proof' of authority. That's the conflict.

it's a new month coming, and i would like to encourage folks who can and feel personally lead to, to give some special financial assistance to fhn.
yes, there are always bills to be paid... .
it is hoped that fhn can be tided over, esp.
FHN tells me that monies she HOPES to come in will pay for utilities--but she has nothing left to pay for school supplies/clothes for Julian. If you want to send money to help out Julian, please do so (pm me if you need her info) and let her know that's what you want it to be used for. She's having trouble finding suitable things at Goodwill and Salvation Army, since there are many families who are using their services.

FHN, just found this resource for your car! This church is just over 100 miles from you, and they do both car and home repair for those who need help.

Ask them, too, if they know of any other car ministries in your area--or people in your area who would be willing to help.

i just found out about an hour ago.
he wasn't even old enough to drink yet.. to make it even sh*ttier, he had called me a few weeks ago and asked if he could come out here with me but i couldn't do it at the time.
so of course the first thing that comes to mind is if i had done something different it wouldn't have happened.. he was going through the sh*t as i call it, when witnesses go off the deep end and get into everything in the world to stop hurting and they don't even know what is wrong.
((((WLG))))
My very deepest sympathies to you at this time.
Please. You need to know that you are NOT responsible for whatever situation that happened. In every place in every life, there are tragic possibilities that can occur. Nothing you can do will ever remove this reality from any person.
This prayer from the Catholic funeral rite is very tender, and I pray it for your brother Aaron.
God, lover of souls, you hold dear
what you have made and spare all
things, for they are Yours, look
gently on your servant Aaron, and by
the blood of the cross forgive his
her sins and failings.
Remember the faith of those who
mourn and satisfy their longing for
that day when all will be made
new again in Christ, our risen Lord,
who lives and reigns with You for
ever and ever. Amen.
