1. I didn't know he ever came first! He was a carpernter dammit not an academic. No report cards in the bible.
2. Bible doesn't have an attendance roster either. If he was coming he must still walking on water 'cause he never ever arrived.
3. Are yu talking of "Black Sails'? She humped both men and women and was a faithful and discreet slave. Nothing prophesy about it she was an incom- parable.
4.Son-o-man hadn't any. He was homeless. Yup they threw him. now they only have little boys and girls- longings.
5.Depends on whether yu mean an aphrodisiac or a number.
6.I don't date girls who have fribilliation-past present or future.Sorry did yu write 'tribulation'? Damn this glaucoma!!
7.My englis not so good but yu say grey cloud? Not knowing that jesus knoed native american chief. i am learned something new now!! He fust die for grey cloud and then disappear on grey cloud!! very funny! ha!ha!
8. So that they become faithful and discreet slaves and give up all their belongings .
9. Yu bet! Since the day he greased his hair with oliveoil and was popeye-d oiling the word into 144000 twistable interpretations of prophesy -which now has turned into $144000,000,000 and so roll on the merry years!!

wow, amazing to read all these experiences.. luckily, i walked away from them 20 some odd years ago because i wasn't making it financially and decided to pursue higher education.

best decision i ever made.

i was able to finish my degrees and i still shake my head at how these people really believe, really mind boggling.. most family members and friends i knew stopped talking to me, and up to this day i'm glad they did.. .

HOW EXACTLY does god communicate with or direct the GB?
by stuckinarut2 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
we're all familiar with the organisations claims (and have seen the flow diagrams in books and mags) that the gb is "directed by god".

in turn, the local elders are "directed by god".

so, how exactly do they suppose this happens?

Their god puts it into their hearts ...just like he will do to the leaders of he world to turn on world religion prior to the GT!!
JuanV2: An imperfect god ,using imperfect men ,to do an imperfect job, on other imperfect men ,according to an imperfect book , with imperfect recordings by more imperfect men ,which imperfection, they imperfectly feel ,are perfectly perfecting!!
They have wireless connected- and a sattellite from Plaides ( isn't that where they once claimed was the abode of their diety?) transmits divine intentions straight into -their behinds! That's because they have more shit in their heads than their asses!!

The brothers are here to cut that maple tree that you were so concerned about in your garden= they want free lunch and a handout.
Could you accompany Bro. Zeb and his wife on field service on Monday?= He is a special pioneer and needs gas money and free groceries.
Bro Gross' is a fantastic speaker = i've gotta kiss his ass -I want tomake MS and I want to date his daughter. He has his own business and is loaded.
You have a lot of potential= You aren't doing enough FS.

The former is the fountainhead of all knowledge -the latter-one for the shoulder and the other for the crop of the supreme 'teacher and the greatest man who ever lived'. In fact so forceful was his teachings that all have been thrown out and we have 7 of the wisest men on earth leading 8 million through the corridors of new intellectualism !

When they ask in exasperation; "But what if it IS the Truth?"
by nicolaou in
1. social
2. family
this is how robert ingersoll responded to a fundamentalist's question, 'what if it's the truth?

' back in the 19th century.

"why," they say to me, "suppose all this should turn out to be true, and you should come to the day of judgement and find all these things to be true.
