Friends I served with in the missionary work the wife passed this past week.

My son told me today, his JW mother told him. I was really close to this family, it's

been over 20 years since I saw them last. But the husband an elder in his 70's

now and his lovely wife and kids, I learned a lot from this family.

A few years ago my son, never baptized was visiting his mom and one of the brothers that is still

in the missionary work was here on vacation (work really) and two other elders that also served in

that country took my son his mom and her husband out for day of fishing.

My son later told me dad it was weird, the conversation the whole day, the fun we had in

the missionary work. My son was born there, so all the stories were new to him.

I guess it got out of hand because my ex wife husband became upset and ask why are you

guys talking about an Apostate. He left Jehovah, just let me out of the boat. LOL

There are some JW's that are basically good people, but like I said it's been over 20 years.

Both their kids left the borg and I know it hurt them, but they did not shun their kids.

In fact I would love to call the husband to give my condolence, they were married over 50 years.

Some of you may think , what's the problem just do it.

Well five years ago my sister gave instruction to her husband (my brother-in law), their kids to

inform me not to come to her funeral . She told them this a week before she died.

New NWT deception at Genesis 8:22 to indicate earth remains forever.

by jwfacts in

i could not find mention of this before.

i was reading genesis 8:22 in the niv and was surprised i had never noticed that this verse gives the impression that the earth will not remain forever.

genesis 8:22 stated by god after the flood, when promising to never again destroy all living creatures.. as long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.

The calculated lifetime for earth is 7.79 billion years, it's estimated to be about

4.5 billion years. So I guess you can say that is forever, but it will end one day after

we are loooong gone.

The difference between "forever" and "eternal"

The Hebrew word in both is the same Olam which means "age lasting or

the end of the age. The earth will last until it reaches the end of it's age which

God has established.

EX. 12;14 A feast for the Lord throughout your generation as a statue forever.

Lev.23:41 You shall celebrate it as a feast to my Lord for seven days in the years. It is

a statute forever throughout your generation.

Organization, not a concept established by God

by StarTrekAngel in

i was dwelling over a discussion going on at jw-archive.

the old topic of the legitimacy of the gb and the concept of centralized organization.

despite what the wt claims, there are a number of examples in the new testament of actions and decisions taken without direction or even the awareness of the elders in jerusalem.. despite whatever other evidence jw may have about the organizational tendencies of god (namely the creation, universe, whatever else they usually bring up), the concept of an organized nation never originated from god.

James Mixon

According to the Bible, God gave man the power of choice and free will. Man chose to

break that relationship and has been trying to find his own way by inventing religion and

cults of all kinds in an effort to replace that void left by lack of relationship with

his creator. Of course this may be true if you believe in the Bible.

The God of the Bible invented man and man invented religion.

Genesis 2;24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother (who was Adam mother and father)

and joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh in the Church, KH, Temple,synagogue or

something. Come on folks, don't you think an all knowing God would have foreseen the problem.

by James Mixon in

i can see it now, we are the most beautiful and smartest people in the world.. steve harvey will never be the host of another beauty pageant.

lol.

i was thinking, don't you think it's time for our society to move on from beauty pageants?.

James Mixon

talesin : I agree young 5,9 or 14 year old tarted with make up is deplorable. That's a good idea,

write a letter to the producers".

Mini-beauty pageant at the Regional Conventions, I guess this is the only time to sport their

new outfits.

Is there a large audience for a child beauty pageants? WTH..

Lisa Rose: that why I made the statement, don't you think it's about time we move

DJS I have grand kids and it's scary when you look at our education system.

Lets see, 80 % of high school students graduate from HS, yet 1/2 of those

students are not ready for the next level. Fewer than 40 % graduating seniors have

mastered basic reading and math. It may no be in the toilet but it is ready for a flush if

we don't do something.

"Are you final arbiter on all things or just our education system"? Did you notice I ask" how

do you folks feel about BP. If there is a topic I don't like I ignore it, very simple.

I'm sure this is not the case with all contestant, but one can become shallow and over

confident. Contestants should try to keep a straight head about it and use it

to build good qualities.

Also I believe focusing on physical beauty can be bad for younger children and child beauty pageants,

well while the whole eduction system is in the toilet here in the US as the interest of the child is

diverted to some irrelevant beauty pageant.

How do you folks feel about Beauty pageants???

Proverbs 31:30 "charm is deceitful and beauty is vain". Hummmm
