dansk recently asked us to write and protest about the erection of a kh in bury, lancashire.. many of us did just that and the newspaper concerened emailed most of us asking for permission to publish our comments in it's weekly issue.. it was also suggested that maybe we could also write to df'ing committees to protest at their actions.. so, we're wondering, should we form some sort of committee to co-ordinate operations such as this on an ongoing basis?.

if we did that, who would be interested in playing an active part?.

any suggestions as to how such an operation should be run?.

Sounds like a good idea on paper, but I'm far too ~~lazy~~ busy to help.

Prince Streetwitnessing?

by Gadget in

my line manager from work got back from holiday in hollywood on sunday, and all day at work yesterday he was telling us all about it.

on his tour of beverley hills he had princes mansion pointed out, but was told that the singer didn't live there anymore, but had bought a bar on sunset boulavard instead and could be found outside it everyday giving out religious leaflets.

and sure enough, when he went down there, prince was standing on the street talking to people and giving them religious leaflets.

he is most certainly doing songs that "go against them"!

care to give an example?

ANOTHER WT "RULE" - Are they kidding?

does the fact that incense is used in religious ceremonies and in spiritism mean that all incense-burning is wrong?

not necessarily.

When I was a teenager, we used to burn it to cover the smell of marijuana smoke.

Dang, Why didnt I think of that. I used deodorant.

Gilgamesh mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls

by Leolaia in

in prior posts, i discussed how older ane material from canaanite and sumerian/akkadian tradition can survive quite late.

in 1 enoch, for example, we see how a famed rephaim from canaanite epic poetry, the wise judge danel (cf.

ktu 1.17-19), mentioned in ezekiel 14:12-20, 28:1-3, was recast as a fallen angel in 1 enoch 6:7, 69:2 (see [1] for discussion), and how the stories of enoch's journey to the ends of the earth and into the underworld mimic that from the epic of gilgamesh (cf.

after years of being force fed onesided biblical views, and prohibited from discussing or researching other trains of thought, leolaia's posts are a breath of freshair. If you dont agree with it, then say so and say why. Dont attack the poster for putting out articulate and reasoned arguments.

Another great post leolaia. Unfortunately, it usually takes me a few days to digest your posts so I dont always get to respond. Keep it up.

New Announcement At The Memorial?

by dawn27 in

jw
friends

i was just wondering if anyone has heard anything about an announcement to be made at the memorial this year?

my family is repeatedly pressuring me to go and the newest approach is that they've heard about an announcement, never made before, that concerns innactive ones or ones who have fallen away,, that is all that they would tell me.

are they going to come find and disfellowship us unless we go back or can we now come back "no questions asked" (yah right)?

Corvin, that picture made me shiver. As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing they could announce during the memorial that would concern me, but lets hope its the usual BS so at least we've got something to laugh about

I couldnt care if he became a member of the governing body, I'm still a fan of his music. He's always been an arse, and probably always will be, but I will always judge him by his music and not in his personal choices. Most people that comdem Princes latest output havent heard the stuff he's releasing on-line, or via his fanclub. His music is just as exciting as it was during the 80's. However, as if he couldnt do anything stupider, he goes a joins a cult. I'm hoping that when (or if) he gets over the death of his son, (he was "contacted" during his mouring period and divorce) he'll realise that its all a load off bullshit, and return to his slightly odd but extreamly interesting musicial roots

Welcome truthseeker. You asked:

By the way- what is a dub?

Its a term used to describe Jehovahs witnesses, as in J W, as in Jay - Dubya.
