  3-15. I was sitting there thinking this is odd, most of her students are not Mormons and

  the church gave her the ok to use the Church. It was performed in the chapel.

  There was refreshment set up as you enter the chapel and folks fixed their plates and set in

  the chapel and ate while the kids performed.

  Holy sh--t, try that in the KH. Kids performing worldly songs, and my daughter-law addressing

  the audience from the platform.

  Anyway she did a great job with her students.

  I believe they finally put my name on the do not call list,

  the evil Apostate list. I see them knocking on all my neighbors

  doors but walk right past our home, hell I'm a little jealous.

  It made my day when they use to come by. LOL

  If they ever come again to my door I will ask them how

  many ex-JW's have you mat at the doors, and why are so many

  of your young folks leaving the truth.

  Senior and junior year in high school. Prior to those years I wasn't popular

  with the ladies, LOL. I stood all of 5'4 and 135 lb. My junior year I was a starter

  on the basketball team for the school and I grew to 6 feet. The calls and smiles

  from the ladies began, my senior year Oh Boy. Dating the junior class queen, invited

  to all the parties, winning the big game with time running out and the crowd lifting

  me up and carrying me on their shoulders. Next day news paper james win game

  against cross town rival. Voted most likely to play professional basketball. That

  all ended, I was drafted by Uncle Sam. But those were good years, (HS 1964-65).

  Creationist Discovers 60 million Year Old Fish Fossils - Insists that they date to Noah's Flood 4500 years ago

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. social
  2. current

  it is astounding that someone like this creationist can have no appreciation for the scientific significance of his discovery.

  even in the face of evidence to the contrary, those who chose to believe rather than know will never forsake their ignorance.. alberta creationist discovers rare fish fossils in basement dig (full article and video).

  "an alberta man who discovered a school of rare fossilized fish while digging up a calgary basement believes the world was created by god a few thousand years ago.. it's for that reason edgar nernberg doesn't think the fossils could possibly be as old as paleontologists are estimating.. "i subscribe to the creationist position, and i believe they were laid down in noah's flood, about 4,500 years ago.

  Street Witnessing - did you ever do it?

  by Muddy Waters in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember in our congregation, there were a few older pioneer sisters who would start counting their time early - even before the service arrangement - by standing at a street corner and holding the magazines up in front of them and hoping that any passersby might stop to take one on their way to work or whatever.

  as a fresh, new dub, i had heard about this "street-witnessing" work, but there was only one time i ever actually saw one of these older sisters doing this.

  and even then i was shocked and embarrassed for her.... because this poor old sister was standing there, all by herself, holding up the watchtower & awake magazines, yet looking as sad and depressed as she could possibly ever look, her whole mouth was turned down just totally sad as she stood there, observing all the "dead" people walking around, hurrying to catch buses, get kids to school, get to work, etc.

  Yes, the most popular and busiest location in my community.

  Not a born in (JW) so my class mates that saw me standing in

  front of the market thought I had lost my friggen mind.

  Yes boldly preaching God's word. It makes me want to throw up

  just thinking about it.

  Historical researcher Michael Paulkovich , " Paul often credited with

  spreading what would become Christianity, never refers to Jesus as

  a real person. Paul is unaware of the virgin mother, and ignorant of

  Jesus nativity, parentage, life events, ministry, miracles,apostles,betrayal,

  trial and harrowing passion. Paul knows neither where nor when Jesus

  lived, and considers the crucifixion metaphorical.

  The silence from Jesus himself is telling with no personal account being

  written. Yes the son of God ostensibly sent on a suicide mission to save

  us from the childish notion "Adam Transgression" is a mythical super-savior.

  We here have had our eyes open for others it may take some time.

  Annie Dillard essay "Seeing".

  She tells an anecdote of newly sighted patients, blind from birth, who had

  cataract operations that restored their sight. Contrary to what you may expect--

  that the experience of finally seeing after many years of blindness will be a

  beautiful and almost ecstatic one---some of these patients find the "tremendous

  size of the world" oppressing. It may take weeks, months, and even years to

  adjust to the dramatic increase in stimuli; some even choose to "lose" or not

  make use of their newly acquired sense.

  For them, seeing is traumatic. What they see doesn't match what they had imagined.
