Two for two failed in G of Eden, not good odds
by pennycandy inreading recent posts about the creation account, i remembered a thought i had as a teenager.
jehovah created two perfect people, sat them down in a custom-designed garden, tended to their every need, and told them to fill the earth with more perfect people.
given the explanation of free will, i suppose odds would dictate that a certain percentage of earth's inhabitants would stray and be cut off.

Sims 2
by pennycandy inokay, i made this great neighborhood full of outlandish people.
i had a snake family, a tiger family, a demon family, a fleshless family, etc, really cool.
i raised up their kids and started to intermingle them to see what kind of horrid offspring they would produce.

Help me find post-armaggedon story
by pennycandy incan't find it in search.
it's a fictional diary about a jw after armaggedon.
starts off with praise and joy, ends up with guns and one tyrannical elder taking charge.. it's not "day one" on freeminds, but it's similar.

Where can I find this letter?
by pennycandy in.
i'm looking for a photocopy of a letter sent from the governing body to traveling overseers dated september 1, 1980. among other things, it included the following quotation.. "keep in mind that to be disfellowshipped, an apostate does not have to be a promoter of apostate views.".
any ideas?

Don't give up
by pennycandy ini have read so many posts relating conversations or correspondance with jw's who you think just don't "get it".
after presenting what you're sure is hard evidence against their organization, they roll their eyes and shoo you away, and you walk away thinking that they're so brainwashed they'll never see reality.. i don't remember every petty negative comment i ever heard about the org, but i'm pretty sure i remember every issue of substance i came across.
a householder at the door explaining john 1:1, a whispered conversation about the content of c of c, an inactive person saying they'll never come back because they discovered the "truth" wasn't the truth, seeing for myself changing doctrine.

Biblically, when should blood be poured out?
by pennycandy inmost notaby, this was done when an animal was killed for food.
does the bible mention any other times blood is to be poured onto the ground?
how about when an animal was killed in self-defense, but not eaten?
