Any one who reject Christ is the Anti Christ,,,,,. OH sh--t I'm the Anti Christ, that's why
my JW family shun me, now I understand I thought it was because I told them the WT is BS.

on the way, at a place where they spent the night, the lord met him and tried to kill him.
but zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin, and touched moses' feet with it, and said, "truly you are a bridegroom of blood to me!
it was then she said, "a bridegroom of blood by circumcision.
The true story: Damn't Moses you have been moping around for days crying
like a baby, my son is not circumcised God is going to kill me. Grow some balls man.
Zipporah threw something in Moses face. Moses jumps and ask , what the hell is this?
Zipporah: it's your son's little foreskin you jerk.
Moses: are you nuts can my son walk, can he wee wee?
Hell woman I will sleep with one eye open for now on, you are one crazy woman,
they told me not to marry your crazy ass.
Don't you think that makes a better read???

It's so weird in the OT, what's the fascination with the foreskin?? Remember David
collected 200 of them.
i've been confronting my mother with her dubious parenting skills (abuse) of me as a child.
particularly the beatings i would get with the wooden spoon.
not a light smack but hitting me as hard as she could for as long as she could.
some cong-member asked my wife this question (in the street, stopping her on her bicycle) in a rather police-like fashion.
i wasn't there so i don't know her immediate reaction and response, but she got very upset afterwards and one day later this still occupies her mind.
i believe it's an emotional mix of anger, sadness, shame and guilt.. she doesn't like this intrusion in her privacy from some jws and on the next occasion she will try to make this person respect her boundaries (or just ignore her).
When I was ask years ago why I haven't been to the meetings, I told them I
have been reading the Bible and it has open my eyes, you should read it sometime.
The same answer I told my non-JW family members, why I stopped attending church
service.
i'm hooked on watching "the story of god, with morgan freeman".
it's fascinating to watch the different faiths throughout the world, the rituals, how devout the followers are.
mind boggling for sure!
after i retired i volunteered for several community service programs, including working with the local food bank.
every fourth thursday of each month i help out in distributing food to needy families at the local veterans building.
i've been helping out for five years now.
reading the recent thread about first talks reminded me of when i was new on the school.. i was around 8 and had to read the chapter that mentions 'sucking king's breasts'.
we got there late and somebody else was giving it.
boy was i secretly relieved.
the bible tells us that noah etc lived to 500yrs old as did many other characters who lived apparently to incredible years.. yet archaeological research tells us from looking at skeletons that have been dug up that the average lifespan was very short.
if a man got to the age of 50 they would have considered that quite an achievement.
when i was in i always wondered about this?
These goat herders believed their great,great great grandfather arrived in the new world
on a boat with all the animals in the world, and a world wide flood just a few years back.
So it's easy to see why they thought old Joe that lived over the hill was a old man
of 500 years.

Each month they celebrated their birthday....960 divided by 12=80 years, hell there were
no calendars 5000 years ago. I still get confused what day and year it is, especially since I'm
retired. You tell me without our watches and calendars, working five days a week, mortgage payment
due on the 1st you think you could figure out your next birthday.
