he is an old friend that used to attend my congo.
he moved away closer to his parents at some point and we lost touch.
for a couple of years i did not hear anything from him.
StarTrekAngel: Be careful in your lunch conversations, they may think you are a terrorist.
The waiting staff only hear," yes 144000 are guaranteed to be saved" , soon they
believe blood will be in the streets, the latest info on how to handle chid abuse, and
very soon it will only be them on earth".
Or maybe they will think you are insane. But good for you, you found a ex-JW friend.....
so i have been studying early christianity a bit and noticed that before christianity really took off after 325 ce, there were a lot of religions.
gnostics teachings , belief in all sorts of different gods from egypt to greece .
the practice of emperor worship etc.
Crazyguy. I have never heard of the Mistory schools. I google it, I need to do some investigation.
You may be right "Mistory schools also spreading their teaching".
Was it called the Ancient Mystery school?

From the earliest days Christians missionaries were active, look at Paul's travel
route. At that time, only Buddhism was a missionary religion and its focus was
mainly in the east. All other ancient religions had no interest in spreading.
They were great at selling their religion...
well it took awhile.
i've downsized.
got rid of my bmw.
Quarterback: I'am so happy for you and your wife great privilege, I envy you.
I understand, I once ask to be a member of the KKK but they rejected me,
maybe because I'am black. What a privilege to have your wife to work in the laundry room,
washing dirty draws all day, you must love her dearly.
Quarterback, if this was true we DF you from this site.
i really like what governors w.weld and g. johnson bring to the table.. not familiar with the libertarian party and will do some investigation,.
but any thoughts on this party..
Thanks all for your input, a lot to think about. No one mention the JW party to
solve our problems. LOL
i grew up in a very zealous congregation.
we had almost 40 pioneers with only 100 publishers.
the congregation was 100% black americans (i don't say african-american).
SouthCentral: My uncle served as a elder in the Watts congregation before he died, (1990's-2010)

"Retirement planning is the responsibility of the individual, not the government. Libertarians would phase out the current government-sponsored Social Security system, and transition to a private voluntary system."

I witness no racism what so ever when i served in the mid-west 70's-80's. One brother
I knew very well was a ex- KKK member. As a black family and a elder invited to speak
in predominant white congregations and my congregation was predominant white I
experienced no racism. I spoke in cities where there was no blacks in their town.
But on the other hand the folks in the community I served, oh boy that's another story.LOL
You may ask, why did I take my family and move to this community? Well I was ask by the
white brothers. There wasn't a KH in that town of 10000 and a city of 5% blacks,I didn't
realize the racism until we purchase our home and the community had a meeting to buy
my home I had purchase. I moved from California and didn't realize I purchase a home on the
wrong side of town. But after 9 years in that community I must say things got better.
We built a KH there after two years and still standing today.
But the friends, no negative talk about Native Americans, whites or blacks.
I had a problem because I came from a predominant black congregation in Calif.
just take a look at this video.
i think arguing or debating scriptures is the most pointless thing ever.
everything at their meetings are so basic with no explanation.
The women were preached too at the door, I will be back their famous words.LOL

scary21: I feel the same, it was refreshing hearing their ideas.
never a jw: I agree not a chance in hell they can win. "It's lonely being a Libertarian" come
to think of it I don't believe I have ever met a Libertarian.
