Lazy people at the gym

by I quit! in

jw
friends

has anyone else noticed this?

the people that go to a gym and will sit in the drive way for ten minutes waiting for a parking space that is close to the front door to become available so they don't have to walk.

i see this all the time.

Some of my pet peeves were mentioned. How bout the group that moves together like four of them and use a station for say a half hour. Its usually that early bird group that knows everybody at the gym.

How bout the guy that brings notebooks, two towels, mp3 player, phone clipped to his belt, wrist wraps, construction gloves, big gallon jug of whatever. Then he looks around to see who's watching him.

Then he catches you looking at him, and he doesn't realize your really laughing at him. LOL

How bout the women of large carriage that somehow think spandex makes them look a little thinner. Im not getting on large people going to the gym, I give them credit. But lets dress a little more appropriate.

I'll use two machines at once but Im very aware if someone wants to get into some sets with me.

Come to think of it the gyms kinda like the mall, if anyone should ever feel intimidated about going to a fitness club/gym. DONT You'll be amazed at what you see.

The "Seventy Years" explained

by Doug Mason in

here is a picture-based explanation of the "seventy years" prophesied by jeremiah.. http://au.geocities.com/doug_mason1940/70_years_of_servitude.pdf.

please note that there are several pages and that you should set your pdf reader to full page.. as i said before, i have a red-green color vision deficiency, but this time i have taken the plunge and used color.

please tell me where i need to make corrections with the colors.. as always, i appreciate your suggestions for improvements, corrections and additions.. doug.

You can make all the bold claims you like. The scriptures say no such thing. They say that "these nations will have to serve the king of Babylon seventy years"; there is no mention of exile, and no implication of special application to the Jews.

Nice work Jeffro, I showed this to my elder stepdad when we studied, his response " I know it says that, but thats not what it means"

Yet another instance where the Jw will gladly spout off WT nonsense.

I always wondered why the WT apologist will not consider contradictions such as; who will be ressurected from Sodom? If the WT cannot clarify a simple question such as this, how can a witness trust the WT explanation for the complex issue of the fall of Babylon?

One has to consider if Yahweh wants to tell the FDS in Brooklyn a truth "back in the day" did Yahweh change his mind or was he not sure?

30 Minute Public Talk-CONFIRMED

by stillajwexelder in

i can confirm (as there seems to be some doubt) at the service meeting last night during the item about the new watchtower, a letter was read by the po.

the public talk is to be 30 minutes long.

this is to allow for more association and ministry.. lengthy negative introductions about the state of the system of things/deep last days etc are to be heavily curtailed.

ellderwho

In the old days, the public talk was 55 minutes in length.

This reminded me of the days as a child I sat at the meetings and truley hated every single stinkin one of them. I would nod off because of the mono-tone BS emitting from the stage, while mom would smack me "upside da head"

I think of my 9 yo son (avatar), I would NEVER, ever subject him to that level of intellectual malarky, and smack him for not listening.......Phew! what a bass-ackwards concept.

The simplest explanation of 607 BCE

by Doug Mason in

if you are looking for the simplest picture that shows how the wts calculates that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, and if you want to understand basic problems with their method, this might be what you want.. http://au.geocities.com/doug_mason1940/wts_false_reasoning_for_607_bce.pdf.

(make sure that your pdf reader displays the whole page.).

They have made mistakes but as the light of truth continues to shine then it is easily seen what group og people truly constitute the true church

This is pretty funny, so what was once put forth as truth in the early days of the WT can be nulified later in years as non-truth. I always thought truth was truth.

Still waiting for a kings list to clear up any doubts you and your org. has one.

A soul: What I don't understand is the comfortable way JWs assume they are right about the timing of Jerusalem's fall and further assume that everyone else has to have a precise date as an alternate in order to claim 607 is not correct.

Indeed, is there some great conspiracy against the Witness chronology. This is Neils greatest hurdle. Kings list.
He will never, never submit a workable list. Not that one doesnt exist, but his own "celebrated" ones cant even produce one from there own literature.

Anything further is just smoke&mirror or just plain ole Bullsh*t.

No, you have to look back at the markets history, Personally Im in a growth(aggressive) mode for the next 10-15 years so I really have to roll with the highs and lows. I just started getting serious about the foreign markets.

Doug,

607 BCE thus stands as the significant date for the WTS, since for them that is when the kingdom came to its end. From that date, they derive 1914 CE.

Good points. Also, a glaring truth about 1914 thats never answered, why did the Gentiles continue to inhabit the land known as Israel post 1914??

I need help destroying witness bastards!

by dawg in

ok, so everytime i'm around my crazy as hell witness family, they always say that all the false predictions and stuff is in the ancient witness past... we all know better... anyone that can provide me current dumba** things that the witnesses have changed in the last say 15 years gets to have wild sex with me as a reward.

ok, maybe that's not much of a reward but will you please help me destroy the idiots anyway?

ellderwho

Get your hands on a "Live forever book" from 1985. (I think thats the year) the large book contradicts the smaller edition from the same year, on whether or not the Sodomites will be ressurected.

Kinda funny.
