  Why is easier to authenticate Paul existence then Jesus?? I don't recall Paul calling the 12 apostles Jesus disciples, he never says Jesus HAD disciples-or a ministry, or did miracles and gave teaching. The few cryptic hints he offers aren't just vague, but contradict the gospels. It seems that the earliest NT writers were ignorant of the details of Jesus life, which become crystalized in later texts..Paul never mention the wise men, star in the east and his miracles.Paul is silent on the most basic biographical facts and teaching of Jesus. My thought, Paul recognized this Jesus thing could turn out to be BIG....I do believe if not for Paul's writing it would be a different world today.

  Why are the individuals who make up the Governing Body so deluded

  surely these men must see what's going on.

  if they can afford fancy pinky rings, they must have smart phones.

  if they have smart phones, they must be inquisitive as to how they are perceived.

  I finally get why people like to shun.

  it finally hit me today.

  why do religions enjoy shunning.

  because many people feel like being close to god makes them special however just being special is not enough for many religious people that shun they must feel extra special how?

  Without shunning how many of us would still be in the cult, I'am thankful for that practice....A hell of a paradox....

  why the big controversy over baptizing the dead, they are dead folks..i know it's a quirky practice but jewish leaders are up in arms because the lds leaders are baptizing holocaust victims..what harm is it??

  ?hell jw's are preaching everyone will go up in flames no one believe that crap except jw but no one is up in arms, they know they walk a different step....the lds leaders agreed to halt baptisms specifically of jews holocaust victims in 2010 but they are at it again, baptizing jews.

  this is funny as hell to me.

  Mormon baptisms for dead is that each deceased soul accept or reject it, there is nothing in Mormonism that states that the person who is being baptized by proxy must accept the ordinance, he or she is simply given the opportunity to choose. WTH...

  Jehovah witnesses and life insurance

  my wife was recently cornered by the elders about her blood card because she didn't have one.

  so one elder witnessed her sign it and he signed it and one elder made himself her health care agent.. with the memorial coming up i am thinking of maybe having a life insurance policy drawn up, maybe in the amount of 300 or 400 dollars a month and i will ask these two dipshits if they would like to sign it.

  it only seems fair they should be finicially responsible for my son since they made my wife sign a document endangering her safety.. what do you think?.

  "One elder made himself her health care agent". I would forward every medical bill to his home, you are making the decision so you pay the bill.

  "Elder's attempted to DF a dead person", I hope this is not true. Brother announce the DF's of brother Dead. "Brother dead is no longer one of JW, we must shun him to show love" First time visitor ask her JW friend, "what was brother Dead sin???? JW friend respond, "don't know he's dead....Oh boy!! this is the religion for me....

  by James Mixon in

  first of all a joke i read, a middle aged woman has a heart attack and is taken to the hospital.

  while on the operating table she has a near-death experience.

  during the experience she sees her guardian angel and ask if this is her time.

  First of all a joke I read, a middle aged woman has a heart attack and is taken to the hospital. While on the operating table she has a near-death experience. During the experience she sees her guardian angel and ask if this is her time. The angel says no and explains that she has another 30-40 years to live.. Upon her recovery she decides to just stay in the hospital for a few more days and have a facelift,liposuction and a tummy tuck. She even has someone come in and change her hair color. She figures since she's got another 30-40 years she might as well make the most of it. She walks out the hospital after the last operation and is killed by an ambulance speeding up to the hospital. She arrives in heaven again, sees her guardian angel and says, "I thought you said I had another 30-40 years!!" The angel replies, "Sorry. I didn't recognize you."

  We all have an idea what's a Guardian Angel, Wikipedia"a guardian Angel is an angel that is assigned to protect and guide a particular person, group,kingdom or country...

  So are they on duty 24-7? Are Guardian Angels for Christendom duties different then JW's??? Would you appreciate your mother being your Guardian Angels watching over you??As a man I would hate to be a Guardian Angel over my daughters,I would look down from heaven and see the activities with their husbands in the bedroom,no thank you give me another assignment.I would hate for my mother to be my GA, and what if you died before your parents and you became their GA.It's creepy when you think about it, your own personal peeping Tom..We know that caused problem with some angels back in the day .JW's don't have the problem, but if your dead mother are father is of the Anointed you have another set of problems.Your wife or husband you left behind remarry, the children leave the borg, everything goes to hell. Do you get kicked out of heaven after watching your husband or wife in bed with their new mate, new things???People will say "I know she is watching over me", rare to hear"I know he is watching over me(dad)".

  The whole idea about GA is BS crazy.........It can make a person a little edgy if he believe every move he makes is watched by an audience and judged. A little creepy I may say....
