typically, what life does a jw lead?
witnesses relish the thought that they are "different" from the rest of the "world"......how so???

You grew up having a crappy childhood. You didn't gain any job skill, instead, in your youth, you went out in FS and started working at a retail store. 30 years later, you are working somewhere else, making about 5$ more than what you started working at when you are young. You go out in service when you can, but this is never good enough for the CO. You are drowning in debt and you are still waiting for the end to come, still waiting, yet faithful to Jehovah.
How's that?

very interesting article from fl, a 25 yoa woman worked as a day care worker at a church and was terminated when she announced she was pregnant and unmarried.
she sued for wrongful termination.
Elsewhere is right. That's why Catholic Charities in LA is forced to pay for it's employee's contraception, even though Catholics think it's immoral.
it may have been mentioned - sorry if it has.
the wt of 15th april 2005, page 5 para 1 says 'hence, the knowledge of jehovah and jesus christ as found in the bible is sufficient to show you how to gain everlasting life.
the bible is a unique book.
And therein lies the deception. The means of salvation is not Christ. It is knowledge. (same 'ole gnostic heresy from the time of Paul) It is also "gained" not granted, nor bestowed, or nor delivered by grace.Pretty smooth how they teach the anti-christian messsage while at the the same time feigning respect for the bible.
I've never been able to put into words what i felt was wrong with that phrase. Thank you Perry!

I though that it did say that!
supposing we colonise mars and people die their will they be reurrected there or will they have to return to paradise earth..?
At present it is true that no other planet can sustain life. What some scientists invisage is teraforming other planets. The Science Fiction books, Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars is a trilogy about making Mars fit for humans. Fiction now but reality sooner then we think.
Y'know just about anything is possible. Back in the sixties, they thought we'd be living on the moon and using flying cars. BOTH are possible, but no one wants to pay for it as it is usually unfeasible.
this past year i turned 30, my father in law is visiting and he's turning 62 tomorrow so i'm baking him a cake.
i have been thinking about aging and how it seems very normal to me.
if adam and eve sinned and no longer were going to live forever, how come there aren't plants and animals that were also living forever.
This is from the Baltimore Catechism:
420. Q. What is Heaven?
A. Heaven is the state of everlasting life in which we see God face to face,
are made like unto Him in glory, and enjoy eternal happiness.The most delightful place we could possibly imagine as Heaven would not
be near what it really is. Everything that is good is there and forever, and
we shall never tire of its joys. All the pleasures and beauties of earth are
as nothing compared with Heaven; and though we think we can imagine its beauty
and happiness now, we shall see how far we have been from the real truth if
ever we reach this heavenly home."God face to face,"--that is, as He is. We shall not see Him with the
eyes of the body, but of the soul. That we may see with our natural eyes, two
things are necessary: first, an object to look at, and secondly, light to see
it. Now, to see God in Heaven we need a special light, which is called the
"light of glory." God Himself gives us this light and thus enables us to see
Him as He is. This beautiful vision of God in Heaven is called the "beatific
vision," and thus our whole life in Heaven--our joy and happiness--consists in
the enjoyment of the beatific vision.
i need a new battery for my toshiba satillite 1805-s204
the battery is a li-ion pa3107u-1brs
any suggestions for where the best place is to get the most battery for the buck?
It will be more expensive, but make sure you get a battery made by the manufacturer. There's been a lot of problems with using third-party batteries in cellphones and I'm extrapolating that info. to this situation.
you know that d.c. isn?t the capital where the president of the united states lives .
a pioneer isn?t an 1800?s historical figure who traveled the west.
the majority of books in your parent?s bookshelf have years on them.
You watch the X-Files at a friend?s house
I remember this one: the X-Files is SATANIC!!! AND DEMONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course, I had a TV in my room, so I watched whatever I damn well pleased.
whenever the world has a bit of a hiccup (like the y2k bug) people seem to be keen to pick up their religious feelings again.. are there any situations that might make you heed back through the kingdom hall doors again???
?
Monkeys flying out of his butt.
I would never go back to the JWs. Apostolic Tradition has proved just how wrong they are.
