  Craig -

  I'm a total idiot and don't know my butt from a glazed doughnut.

  You got me worried, dude! Confusion like this is quite a dangerous position to be in! I mean, you could be walking around - minding your own business - and some starving doughnut fiend could spy your patooty and... well ... can you imagine the embarassment?! What's that?! You say that happens to mods all the time?! Well, all the more reason to get this cleared up for you. Ok... ummm... well ... one is kind of doughy and the other ... no.. that won't work... Ummmmm... ok! See, in the center of one there is a great big hole ... oh.

  I understand the confusion.

  As you were!

  Got caught throwing magazines in the trash

  by unbeliever in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had to take my dad to the va hospital for a doctor's appointment and in almost every waiting room there was magazines not even recent issues.

  you have to wait for freaking ever at the va hospital so i decided to do my civic duty and i went around this huge hospital collecting magazines and would throw them in the nearest trash can.

  nobody cared until i got on the 4th floor.

  Okay....I Want All of Yall to Listen Very Carefully......

  since you left, faded, da'd, df'd from the wts, you have most likely been called or labelled an "apostate" by wts members, including even your own fam members..... .

  this is not true.....you only left, faded, da'd or were df'd from an organization of apostates who don't even realize that while their lips "make nice with god or jehovah", their actions of haughtiness, hatefulness toward others and denial of mercy toward those in need of it, belie their claim of being jehovah's or god's people.. .

  don't make me get the gun!

  SFJ-

  What if he is unknown? And how do they "know" (unless they've been watching or participating)?

  Just another loophole!

  And if they've been watching or participating, this just further shows how the WT likes to be in their members' bedrooms!

  Sleep with the lights ON!!!

  Just another "you-are-so-blind-can't-you-see-how-the-scriptures-support-this-WT-inspired belief" belief. They will have a real kettle of fish on their hands if members interpret this as this being their free ticket to "fornicate" during the day...

  Who was the author of Revelation?

  by worldlygirl in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was watching a program on the history channel the other night and it was mentioned that the author of the book of revelation is not known.

  it is thought to be "john" but they said it could have either been john the baptist, the apostle john, or maybe a completely different "john.

  what is the org's view?

  It's my understanding that it was the Apostle John, around 95 A.D., when he was on Patmos. Not sure where the History Channel gets their info... Should they now be calling themselves, "The Rewritten History Channel"? LOL!

  Anyway, below is a link to early christian writings. There is one entitled, "The Apocrypha of John" which appears to be the text of Revelation, and another entitled, "Apocryphon of John" which was written later. However, it appears that both books appear to be written by John, son of Zebedee ... I don't know if this is relevant, but thought I'd throw it at you to see what you thought.

  Politics.

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why oh why do people start political threads on an ex-jw board?

  isn't there enough political forums elsewhere on the net?

  virtually every thread about political matters finishes up being locked, usually because someone starts to flame.. both sides of the recent plethora of political threads are now accusing the other of making propaganda.

  Gopher -

  As long as people don't go into attack mode

  That is great in theory - however some think they are being attacked when they aren't. It all boils down to ...

  Seeing others tear down your ideas is not something to be offended at.

  Some take it far too personally, and that's when it gets out of control and the name-calling starts.

  Bradley -

  Pot. Kettle. Black.

  I can't believe I am saying this, but I agree with you!* At least in the broad sense. The truth of the matter is that BOTH sides are right sometimes, and BOTH sides are wrong sometimes. Politics in general - not just here - but everywhere - IMHO - is the perfect example of why Jesus said:

  How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. Luke 6:41-42 NIV

  Again, as Bradley said:

  Pot. Kettle. Black.

  How many of us are willing to remove our own planks? My guess? Not many, because most of us would say that we don't have one - the other side does! And we're right back where we started.

  I'm tired of all this animosity. How do we go about getting a declaration of a truce?

  * Maybe there is hope for some after all - I never thought I'd live to see the day that I agreed with something Bradley says!
