  other christians partaking of the emblems, and btw do you have partakers at your congregation so that I could

  observe them doing so.

  Please add more

  i just found out my 67 year old elder/dad has been there too, with his sister who used to live up that way.

  it is freaky-deaky weird/scary.

  why the hey would jesus pick a weirdo group that thinks pagan egyptian pyramids (who used to enslave and torture gods people) could give the answer to his second coming....pathetic...................oompa

  Haven't been there yet. I was thinking of taking a little trip out there it's about a 4 hour drive for me.

  I'd like to get some pictures of me and the wife standing next to it,maybe send them to relatives to show them our little trip.

  When I showed my mom the pictures of the pyramid off the internet she vehemetly denied them.

  Big brother elder however, confirmed that the pictures were real.

  Suddenly, it didn't matter about the pyramid, "that's in the past. Why do you always bring up the past"?

  What else is there to do out there, if I go for a long weekend?

  Yes, only by a thread.

  My uncle is giving everything to the b0rg hundreds of thousands of dollars.

  Makes me think of Sammy Hagar - Buying my way into heaven.

  As a result of the fervent witnessing of Jesus' disciples in Jerusalem, thousands of people, including "a great crowd of priests," flocked to the first-century congregation.

  Early missionaries helped many more to embrace Christianity. Philip, for one, went to Samaria, where crowds paid attention to his words. Paul traveled widely with various companions, preaching the Christian message in Cyprus, parts of Asia Minor, Macedonia, Greece, and Italy. In cities where he preached, multitudes of both Jews and Greeks became believers. Titus carried on a ministry in Crete. Peter was busy in Babylon, and by the time he wrote his first letter, about 62-64 C.E., the activity of the Christians was well-known in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia.What exciting times those were! So zealous were those first-century Christian preachers that their enemies claimed that they had "overturned the inhabited earth."

  All of the above that happened, 2000 years of humans living on the earth, and at the very most only 90,000 true Christians were found.

  Then in the 1900's 50,000 + true christians pop up thanks to Charles Russell.

  He did better than Jesus and the apostles combined.

  Just read your story Jeff. Amazing ! Good luck in the future.

  Japan Court - All JW kids under 15 to get blood..(old law was 12 yo)

  children below 15 to get blood infusion even if parents object friday, february 29, 2008 at 06:49 est tokyo a joint panel of japan's five medical societies on thursday said that children under 15 who require blood transfusions should be given them, even if this means going against the wishes of their parents, such as jehovah's witnesses, who object to such treatment on account of their religious beliefs.

  releasing guidelines on the issue in a press conference, the panel headed by fukushima medical university professor hitoshi oto said children under 15 should be socially protected, drawing a line at the age from which a person's competency to make a will is recognized under the commercial code.

  "the guidelines will help facilitate the decision-making and choice of socially appropriate treatment by medical institutions," oto said.

  Satan is really getting bold, he is forcing children not to die by using blood.

  Pretty soon nobody will be allowed to die by not using blood.

  Will this be a paid holiday ? If so I'm all for it.

  I keep thinking of the ewoks when they were celebrating the death star's destruction in Return of the Jedi.

  Only difference, JW's will be playing tunes on worldly people's skulls instead of storm trooper helmets.

  I like how they emphasized being sincere teachers, the avereage JW doesn't give a sh**
  about field service "just got to get your time in."

  When I was out knocking on doors, seeing some people with hectic stressful lives,
  I used to think what I'm offering these people will only make their lives worse.

  Thanks for the commentary
