  by darkspilver in

  2. friends

  from the awake 8 november 1994, page 26. the olympic religious mix.

  the olympic games are rooted in greek religion.

  they were born as a religious festival to honor zeus, supreme among the greek gods.

  darkspilver: "

  What's this got to do with this forum??"

  The games of ancient Greece are alluded to many times especially in Paul's epistles. They

  are not endorsed by scripture, because they were, and still are, utterly pagan, and devoted to demons,

  so no JW should be watching the games.LOL

  Paul spent much of his ministry on he Corinthian Isthmus where Greeks held the Isthmian games.

  He, and the young church would have been familiar with the cycles of the Greek games.

  There's no doubt that his metaphorical reference to competitive running, and boxing referred to

  the Greek games composing the olympics.

  So in other words if you are talking with JW family members and they are watching the Olympics, inform

  them it's pagan. Damn another pagan thing, no fun being a JW.

  That's the point I was trying to make the other day on another topic.

  You have professional athletes in most events basketball, track, soccer, golf and

  M. Phelps and the U.S. basketball team are not amateurs.

  It's not fair, those young folks train all those years missing out on their prom,sacrificing

  so much to represent the USA and for what, maybe $25.000.

  What is wrong with this picture? M. Phelps earn his pay but the other athletes there is no

  guarantee they will receive the big dollar endorsement that M. Phelps receive.

  Our athletes train for years to get a medal for their country and receive a small amount for

  their efforts.

  I applied for a position in the company I worked for and it came down to two applicants.

  So in the final interview they told me I like the education for the job.

  I was so disappointed and confused, I was a elder and the best schooling one could get in

  theological studies that covers all, LOL.. You talk about a pompous A-hole that was me, thanks WT.

  Today's Text - Show Appreciation For Elders! LOL

  by Divergent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  wednesday, august 10. holy spirit has appointed you overseers, to shepherd the congregation of god.—acts 20:28.. it is important that we show appreciation for god’s arrangement for shepherding his flock.

  christian elders are a provision from jehovah, who always acts in our best interests.

  the elders are “like a hiding place from the wind, a place of concealment from the rainstorm, like streams of water in a waterless land, like the shadow of a massive crag in a parched land.” (isa.

  "The elder are"like a hiding place from the wind". Oh sure they are when so much

  wind come out of their mouth and rear. Let me stay in the storm. The elders I know

  are going through hailstorms themselves created by the GB.

  Interracial Relationships and JWs

  by HiddlesWife in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've noticed that within the past couple of decades, i don't see a lot of interracial relationships (ir, for short) in the org.. i, myself, was involved in an ir over 2-3 decades ago and was engaged to get married [my ethnicity is: african-american and latina; my ex-fiance's ethnicity is: scottish and italian].

  he broke off the engagement, after three years of friendship and two years of dating, because his uncle and another brother (who was a temporary volunteer at bethel) pressured him to end our relationship [p.s.

  : his mother was quite close to my mother, one of my sisters and one of my close cousins.

  When I was serving in Central America with 4 other couples from the US one day

  the conversation turned to IR couples. There were two white couples, two IR and the wife

  and I black. My family and one of the white couple were the only ones with kids and our kids

  were the same age, we both had a boy and girl. So I ask him one day, how do you feel about IR

  marriages? His concern it would be difficult for them, this was in the early 70's he told me he

  would try to discourage it. I respected that because my mom felt the same way especially in the 70's.

  If my mom was still alive today she would have a heart attack, my family today my nephews, nieces and sons

  it looks like the United Nation, but they all reside in California.
