  last saturday an old friend of ours took her life.

  she and her husband had almost been married 25 years, and we had known her longer than that.

  she was like a little sister to my wife.

  we had a phone call yesterday, after being "inactive" for 6 years.

  not having attended a meeting in 4 years, we get a call saying they are concerned that they had heard we believe in evolution.

  my partner said "not necesarily believe in it, im just not discounting it at this time.

  The 7000 year "Creative Day"

  by Fe2O3Girl in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  when i was a youngster, the creative days of genesis 1 were always referred to as being 7000 years long.

  i believe the 1975 hoo-hah was related to this teaching as 6000 years since adam's creation plus a 1000 year reign neatly wraps up a 7000 years seventh day of rest.. in another thread narkissos quoted a wt article from 1983 that repeats the 7000 year day teaching.

  i don't think anyone much younger than me, or anyone who bacame a jw in the last 10-15 years is aware of this belief.

  http://www.cnn.com/2004/world/europe/08/03/finland.internet.reut/index.htmlweb addiction excuses conscripts.

  helsinki, finland (reuters) -- a number of finnish conscripts have been excused their full term of military service because they are addicted to the internet, the finnish defence forces said on tuesday.. doctors have found the young men miss their computers too much to cope with their compulsory six months in the forces.. "for people who play (internet) games all night and don't have any friends, don't have any hobbies, to come into the army is a very big shock," said commander-captain jyrki kivela at the military conscription unit.. "some of (the conscripts) go to the doctor and say they can't stay.
