sometimes the delusional mind of jws takes steroids.. it was during the draw close to jehovah study where they praise the mosaic law and how perfectly wonderful it was.

you should have seen the almost giddy attitude the conductor had and the comments from the audience.

If the book "Crisis of Conscience" were widely available in Spanish, the Watchtower Corporation would suffer huge losses....

by Calebs Airplane in

i have been looking high and low for a hard copy of "crisis de conciencia" for the past 4 years now... i've yet to find it anywhere new or old.

if i could, i would purchase at least 16 of these books and mail them to 16 spanish-speaking jws i know in the states and south america.

it would definitely cause at least 7 of those jws to wake up... i just know it.. now i know it's available in pdf, but most latin american countries are not into e-readers when reading voluminous writings such as this book.

if she passes away, leaving no heirs who can reprint ? does it become public domain? can someone buy the rights to it and prevent it from being republished?

like the borg?

I watched a documentary once that mentioned that the israelites [ not really israelites though ] were a troublesome sect , nomads maybe,

and that early christains were also trouble makers. thats wht rome had to do something about it.

144,000 Jewish Christians

by Chris Tann in

the bible says the 144000 are the 12000 from each tirbe. now if we take that litterally which i guess we should, then its solved.

since neither jesus nor the apostles mentioned the number, or a group like that, why would we interpret it as symbolic? they for some reason had no knowlege of it, or need to know it?

we cant pick and choose which is sybolism and which is literal correct? its one way or the other.

i find it foolish for some people to read a verse in revelation, and say the first sentence is litteral and the second is symbolic.

my mother does that, and it makes no sense, i told her that revelation is all symbolic, it wasnt written to be litteral.

these people who claim they are annointed, are not of the 144000. the 144000 may be annointed, and chosen, but where in the bible does it say that

only 144000 would be annointed? does it even say that the 144000 are annointed? or does it say chosen ones?

jesus said I HAVE OTHER SHEEP. those i must also bring. so there can be many more 'annointed' people, of all faiths all over the world, IF we belive the bible is for real of course. and some of us are still up in the air about that.

Are first world countries to blame for the bulk of third world squalor?

by tootired2care in

throughout several past threads various posters have emphatically made the point that countries like great britian, united states, france etc.

basically countries where white people exist, are to blame for the poverty in many other third world nations.

some have even went so far as to suggest that the first world is to blame for all third world conditions.. i often see excuses such as these for why a country refuses to provide clean water, some food and basic sanitation for its people:.

corrupt corporations corupt governments and lack of education and freedom is what makes a country disfunctional.

we have many countries with rich soil, natural resources that would sustain the population had they been allowed to use thier own

inteligence and land, but its taken from them by greedy controlling forces.

the US is not above falling into the condition of a poverty stricken country. the infrastructure here is crumbling, one fire in a power plant is all it would take to leave millions without electricity, gas lines exploding from decay, flooding due to poor drainage and faulty dams, bridges not maintained, and

a nation of people with student debt and no employment.

where is the silver lining?

this was on the news this morning.

when you buy gas air is part .

of the service, it should be free.

sowhatnow

here in pa it depends on the station, and that fix a flat stuff makes a huge mess in the tire, we would get charged extra for the time it would take to clean it all out of the tire.

i have towing on my insurance, they fix my flat. lol .
