I'm capable of understanding!!! god is not able to express... With understanding! otherwise we would not be having these "mis-understandings"
- I was told he doesnt do these things because we have the whole bible for examples.

Why doesn't god do anything tangible now?
by punkofnice ini was always told that god did loads of stuff that was evidence of his existance.
ususally very brutal things too (b#st@rd).. jesus walked on water and raised the dead we are told.. it seems to me also that the older the story, the more exaggerated it is...y'know...talking snake......global flood.. there are those that claim god speaks to them now and they alone 'know' it.
(cuckoo!!!).

God does do tangible things all the time but they are hidden in plain sight because the idea is that he wants us to search for them. The reason is because only one who really searches demonstrates that they will commit to what then follows as a result of finding.
OMFG!

Terry, so sorry for the way this turned out.
Its apparent to me now that for many death will come before realization that they have neen duped. Perhaps a good thing for them, to live their lives with this hope they believe is true. My mom at 80 is one of them, however she is-does have some conscience concerns. Too late for many, as their lives are coming to an end.

Today's WT study
by piztjw inso as i looked at the material i was struck by a few thoughts about this article.. par.
6 glossed over the idea that we can pray for ourselves, or our needs.
9-11 on one hand they say jesus did not harshly criticize peter or the apostles for falling asleep instead of praying continually, and on the other hand make veiled threats if we should feel tired out by life.

In one paragraph they give a lesson then in the next they take it away.
So many lessons are written this way...like we need to be forgiving, then the next paragraph say we maybe too sensitive. Typical double speach! You can't have it both ways.

I can't believe how sexist the Borg is!!!
by quellycatface injust letting off a bit more steam.

Omg...already!
Its not that we have a penis it's the size of it.
If u must know we are pulled into the back room and must show our penis to determine what position we are qualified for. So u see size does matter.
I get tired of being refered to as a penis first then a man. Get over it...if they changed the rules u mostlikely would not get the position because of attitude not your Gender. Many males "penis" don't get the positions either!

Oh my...you think it's a privilege?
Perhaps you would like to be parking cars at assemblies in the extreme hot or cold? I would gladly give that so called privilege to u.
Or arrive at meetings earlier to handle these assignments? ( ur supposed to ) not all do but...they should.
I heard the same from brothers who were not permitted to because of not meeting the requirements. ( service time or knowing someone)
It was like having a second or third job...without pay!
It would seem to me that the problem in not having or getting the position...but not being offered the position? Be careful what wish for you may regret getting it.

Heard from some old friends :-(
by Kool Jo inhello:.
so as i've mentioned before, i lived in south florida for a few years where i worked and went to college....at that time i was an "ok" dub....didn't like the borg, but never knew ttatt...i've since left south florida, but still communicate now and again with some of the folks there.. this weekend apparently was the assembly at west palm beach...i got a call from some old friends, telling me how their kids got baptized and how happy they are as the end draws near blah blah blah...the sad thing, the kids are no older than 14....i can just imagine the amount of pressure those poor kids were under, not even knowing the full extent of the decision they made today...this makes me really sad.. i hope with the increase of ex-jw sites, these young folks won't be afraid to read and eventually come to an understanding of ttatt.. peace.

rattitgan350: The child would properly die because it never should have existed.
- so he does cause bad things to happen and he does so directly! Thanks for clarifying this.

Ecclesiasties 12: 12. START THE PRESSESS!
The Conclusion of the Matter
9 Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs. 10 The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true.
11 The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given by one shepherd. b 12 Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them.
Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.
13 Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind.
14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil.

Christmas is WRONG!
by thesaint inyou all should be ashamed of your egotistical selves.
how can you leave god's organization to celebrate the work of satan the devil?
it just goes to show you how jehovah's christian witnesses are correct about how persons will leave the truth for their own selfish desires.. first off, christmas is a pagan holiday and it proves no spirit with the almighty jehovah and his son, the christ.

So is death, disease, hunger,... And a "loving" God letting humans die when he has the power to stop it!
**Why don't you get on your knees and pray to Jah to resolved these greator issues before you condemn others for trivial matters.
