Jesus was the prodigal son

.

perhaps this will not be printed in the wt anytime soon, but think about it.. look at the parallels between the behavior of the brother in the parable and the behavior of jesus' real siblings.. jesus was accused of associating with 'tax collectors and sinners'.. he once saved a woman from being stoned by an angry mob for 'adultery'.. he was also criticized for allowing a woman, probably of 'ill repute', to pour expensive oil over him and cry at his feet.. jesus was the prodigal son.... .

Have you ever lied for your boss/employer?

my girlfriend was asked by her boss to lie.. it was a stupid little unnecessary lie in my opinion.

but i perceived it could have huge consequences if she were caught.. because she signed a non-disclosure agreement, i was not supposed to find out about this.

but i suppose her brain was tingling from doubts about putting her good name on the line to make someone else happy.. i tried to talk to her last night...i told her that she needs to stand up to him because he is trying to test her loyalty.. instead of wanting to discuss ways to speak her opinions, she wanted to blow it off by saying 'i could just get a new job'.. .

Was Jesus A (Suspected) TERRORIST?

jesus said that 'two swords were enough'.

well, the answer to that question is also likely the real cause of the romans' suspicion of jesus.

people may say that jesus was executed like a common criminal.

Why I VOTED REPUBLICAN on Nov 5th
by cellomould in
1. jw
2. friends
i voted for only one republican in this mid-term election.

i do think that governmental positions should be filled by a diverse group of well-qualified people.. .

but it is very dangerous to allow one party (republican in particular) to have a majority, as has happened in the senate.
