by Terry in__________________bring me the head of jesus christ________________i have a story to tell.
if there is a moral to this story - well - it's for you to figure out.here goes ...toward the end of my so-called art career, i had devolved from a beverly hills art consultant slinging etchings, lithographs and paintings to movie stars in california ... all the way down to a local mom and pop art gallery and frame shop in fort worth, texas.i was now a custom-framer providing advice for graduation photos, paintings of jackrabbits, velvet elvis renderings, and even folded flags belonging to grieving mothers._____friday 1986the ting-a-ling bell attached to the front door brought me out from the workshop in back.a man standing in front of me appeared worried; very worried.he said his name was steve and was - he professed - "desperate.
"on the counter between us he'd laid out a very old portfolio of sketches, charcoal drawings, and preliminary studies.

How Many Here Remember Hearing Details from the Platform on Why a Person was Reproved or DF'd ???
by RubaDub ini just had this flashback when commenting on another thread about how they used to announce reproof or dfing from the platform.
at least in our congregation, it was a dramatic event (this is what i can remember from back in the mid-late 60's or early 70's when i was a kid).. at the end of the service meeting, just before singing the final song, the brother would announce, "we have a letter that must be read.
the "congregation servant" (my grandfather or later my father) would then slowly walk from the back of the kh to the platform.

Animals as vegetarians thread continued
by Crazyguy2 ini found out just last night that back in 2015 scientists discovered a piece of amber estimated to be over 15 million years old.
inside the amber was a flea, very similar to the size and kind that attack and eat our blood today.
whats even more astonishing is in the mouth they found bacteria that has the same make up as bubonic plague.

What Jesus could / should have said if....?
by smiddy3 inif jehovah god had purposed followers of jesus to be called jehovah`s witnesses , jesus christ had the perfect opportunity to instruct them to do so .. the fact that he didn`t and the overwhelming evidence in the new testament that followers of jesus were to be witnesses of jesus christ as the only means to come to the father jehovah god.. sciptures that say christians are to be witnesses of jesus 20+ , scriptures that say christians are to be witnesses of jehovah in the new testament ?
none / zero .. not the wtb&ts or the governing body of jehovah`s witnesses but only by bearing witness to jesus as his witnesses.. and here is the proof not by what jesus said but what he didn`t say when he had the opportunity to do so.. when many stopped following jesus because they were shocked by what he was saying .john 6 :67-69.
"therefore jesus said to the twelve ,you do not want to go also do you?
