  Why Not a December Birth?

  Jesus was born in the Judean city of Bethlehem. Luke’s Gospel reports: “There were also in that same country shepherds living out of doors and keeping watches in the night over their flocks.” ( Luke 2:4-8 ) This was not unusual. “The flocks had to spend the greater part of the year in the open air,” says the book Daily Life in the Time of Jesus. But would the shepherds be outside with their flocks on a cold December night? The book says: “They passed the winter under cover; and from this alone it may be seen that the traditional date for Christmas, in the winter, is unlikely to be right, since the Gospel says that the shepherds were in the fields.”

  Would shepherds spend the night outdoors with their flocks in the snow?

  This conclusion is corroborated by another detail in Luke’s Gospel account: “In those days a decree went forth from Caesar Augustus for all the inhabited earth to be registered; (this first registration took place when Quirinius was governor of Syria;) and all people went traveling to be registered, each one to his own city.”— Luke 2:1-3 .

  Born Again What Does It Mean? (get control of the numbers.... I think)

  This article from the Official JW website really irritates me. http://www.watchtower.org/e/20090401/article_01.htm

  Some quotes:

  "Are you among those who believe that being born again puts you on the road to salvation?

  If so, you no doubt want to help your relatives and friends to find that road and to start walking on it. wtf

  The phrase is rendered in the form of a statement. In other words, when Jesus said you must be “born again,” he was stating a fact, not giving a command. wtf

  SINCE the days of the apostles, God has been choosing from among mankind a limited number of faithful Christians, adopting them as sons.

  Article sucks, I can not stand their idoitic logic.

  Tim Kilgore vs. E-Watchman GETS BLOODY!!!

  by Tuesday in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hey folks, again the videos aren't as exciting as the title makes them seem.

  i'm trying to be pun-ny since we're dealing with the blood doctrine here.. i think here is a fantastic example of how you can respond to the textbook answer about how fractions of blood are accepted, even to the point of reconstituted blood and not the whole blood itself.

  it does involve a slight knowledge of what makes up blood, but not a whole lot.

  Like the Pharisees did, the Watchtower is doing .

  Do whatever it takes to, C.Y.A. It always comes down to $$$ and power.

  Something I never thought of when I was in

  by doublelife in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  witnesses use the term 'publisher' instead of 'preacher' to describe their position in the congregation.

  that should be a dead give away that they are salespeople working for a book publishing company verses preachers who are working for god.

  i can't believe i never saw something this obvious.

  publisher

  1.	a person or company whose business is the publishing of books, periodicals, engravings, computer software, etc.

  2.	the business head of a newspaper organization or publishing house, commonly the owner or the representative of the owner.

  publish

  1.	to issue (printed or otherwise reproduced textual or graphic material, computer software, etc.) for sale or distribution to the public.

  2.	to issue publicly the work of: Random House publishes Faulkner.

  3.	to announce formally or officially; proclaim; promulgate.

  4.	to make publicly or generally known.

  The title "salesperson" of a publisher would be more accurate.

  a person who sells goods, services, etc.

  IT IS THE BEST WAY OF LIFE, says my Dub sister.

  by wobble in

  2. friends

  as some may remember, i posted about being dubious as to accepting anniversary presents this year from my super-dub family, esp.

  my older sister.. well we agreed with the consensus on here that it was best to accept with gratitude and this we have done, but i would just like to reproduce what she wrote in the card accompanying the present and flowers.. after the happy anniversary she wrote :.

  "it makes us sad to think of all the anniversaries past when you were part of our christian congregation.

  I hate their condescending, self righteous tone, typical J dub.

  My reply might be:

  I am so sorry to hear you are sad for me, please don't be.

  I am very happy with my life now.

  I'm glad you found the "best way of life" for yourself.

  The "best way of life" for me is something different.

  Thank you for caring about me, I care about you to.

  Thanks for the gift.

  The most important Logistical problems is:

  How will we continue to receive the Watchtower and Awake magazines ???

  I shudder to think as to how I could survive without these blessings from Jah.

  What's with JW's and X-mas lights?..........

  by awildflower in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i mean i remember growing up as a jw and then 15 baptized adults years, and every year all the jw's would say something to the effect, "lets go look at all the pretty lights", or they would tell their neighbors that they really liked their lights.

  and i remember teaching my kids the same thing, that it's ok to look at the lights (but not ok to like anything else about x-mas, oh regrets!

  ) doesn't that seem weird or something?

  The phrase "The Truth"

  by lepermessiah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, i am curious..... how many of you have a hard time getting that phrase out of your vocabulary?.

  i have been conscienciously trying not to use it at all, so now when i am in a conversation with a jw, its amazing how often they use that phrase.

  i look back and wonder "god, did i say that that often?

  Then ask them, "are you telling me you are in Jesus, and Jesus is in you?"

  I actually have used this. I just got the 'deer in headlights look'.

  If they are in Jesus they would then be part of the 144,000. No?

  Watchtower claiming to be the "truth", w hat an enormous insult to Jesus.
