has anyone ever asked someone about way the memorial is still celebrated?
the belief is it is to be done yearly until he arrives, but he was supposed to arrive in 1914. so if that?s the case, he?s already here.
why is it still being celebrated?
so Maybe if jesus arrived in 1914 he just might have died again without us even knowing where he was or what he did this time. Anyway, he'd have to come up with a bunch of new stuff to prove he's jesus and I honestly don't see any way how anyone could possibly pull it that off. What if jesus spend his days in a mental institution 'cuz everybody thought he was a nutter, seems more probable to me.

nice to meet u. i have been a lurker on this forum for as far back as i can remember.. i was brought up as a fairly devout jehovahs witness since the age of 5.
(im now in 20s).
i started questioning the religion heavily last year.
Welcome T12, you'll find this board even more rewarding when you interact with it and it's people, stick around!b
it seems that few are aware of it, but the whole talk here is posted.. http://e-jehovahs-witnesses.com/viewtopic.php?t=2337&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=45.
seems like holland is having problems with jw authority.. thought i'd paste a few comments from the board before pasting the talk, so you can get an idea of what is happening.... --------------------------.
thanks for the update from holland.

i took this really interesting test on-line at tickle.com.
at the end it will give you your iq.
granted i could have done better if i wasn't distracted from watching my son, but i guess i did ok. i may take the test over again just to be sure that i was paying attention properly.
that's pretty good brooke! and love11, I love doing private investigations but just for the sake of enlightening myself, I don't take on cases. Hey brooke, what's up with your new avatar btw? Are u becoming the board's sexsymbol or what?! You make it hard, even for a brilliant mind like mine, to think straight LOLb
when people post to jwd, do you make an effort to understand "who" they are and take an interest in their wellbeing, or are they just 'ghosts in a machine' there to entertain you?
do the people here fall somewhere in-between for you?
do you think it matters?
hi Jeannie Lot's of real people here, but the distance between them are bigger than if we were all in the same room. I think this both has some advantages as well as disadvantages to real life gathering. The low threshold to come to a board like this is definately an advantage. You can actually think before you type too, not that I do that or anythingb
hmmm, a rat as the head of the catholic church, a wolf as the head of the worldbank, what's next? a vulture as the secretary-general of the UN? oh well, viva la pappa!b

well, it took a while, and English is not my native language but I'm happy with the result non the less: Bas, your Super IQ score is 141
Your overall intelligence quotient is the result of a scientifically-tested formula based on how many questions you answered correctly. But it's only part of what we learned about you from your answers on the test. We also determined the way you process information.
The way you think about things makes you an Intuitive Investigator. This means you have multiple talents and can do anything you set your mind to. You're able to detect numerical patterns easily and are able to grasp the true complexity of the world, both in its details and in a more abstract form. You've got a sharp logical mind and are adept at using words to get even a difficult point across. The combination of all these things makes you truly brilliant.
How did we determine that your thinking style is that of an Intuitive Investigator? When we examined your test results further, we analyzed how you scored on 8 dimensions of intelligence: spatial, organizational, abstract reasoning, logical, mechanical, verbal, visual and numerical. The 3 dimensions you scored highest on combine to make you an Intuitive Investigator. Only 6 out of 1,000 people have this rare combination of abilities.
that question was asked by an elderly brother who pioneered and he was a little senile too----he'd ask every person in the hall.
it didn't matter whether they were elders, pioneers, old ones, young ones, new ones----everyone!
he would even incorporate that question in his comments at the meetings!.......good question that no one seemed to want to answer.
I'm Bas and the devil is a bastardb
i find myself doing research and came across this today.
i know it is long but with the un ngo and popes statement that the un was the last hope of mankind, i feel compelled to print this off.
the united nations meditation room and popes.
well, I think this piece is pretty black/white in it's reasoning and an attempt to damage the UN. I'm a determinist myself but I don't believe in a worldgovernment or the need for that and neither I believe in Communism. I deterministicly believe that the world will become a more harmonious, balanced place but it might take a very long time. It shouldn't be imposed by the UN and it doesn't do that nor does it aspire to do that. If anyone is trying to impose it's will on the world it's America I believe.

scientists debate wait on 'new einstein' .

Einstein is pretty much the messiah of science, laying the basis for the atomic fission and all. I don't think there will be a scientist ever to surpass him as physics turned into a worldwide team-efford nowadays. There might be people which match his intellectual capacity, they'll probably never match his fame.
