back in 79-80 they came out with another wt stating quite clearly that jesus was not the mediator for most jw's and of course this upset quite a few and some asked "if jesus is not my mediator then how does god hear my prayers?
' does anyone remember what they said to answer this question?.
Though they dont give Jesus his biblical storybook due, they at least stick to the tradition of praying in Jesus name. Haven't you hear these gems:
"through the name of our ransom and redeemer, Jesus Christ" or "our king and redeemer, Jesus Christ"? I have heard this said by rote so many times it became a chant for some. Ugh.
These days I prefer the good ol' "Over the teeth and through the gums, watch out stomach, here it comes!"
faders need a secret sign to use at the khall.
the thought came to me after reading replies to datadogs post on stopping singing at the meetings.. i can suggest a few secret signs for faders to use and to look for at the khall, but it would be better that current meeting attenders make suggestions here.
if readers on this site can agree to a secret sign to use at the meetings, just imagine the power that would have at your kingdom hall.
The best way to identify the Fader is that they are the one who isn't there. Duh.
just felt like a laugh.. if any funny quotes come to mind feel free to post them here.
"So and so" has been REACTIVATED! Battery must have been low.

Only if Splane is the gay lover of the Henschel star drive inventor.

the lives of the people of arcadia, missouri, are forever changed when their deceased loved ones return.. .
so far it seems to be an interesting take on the subject.
The Lord works in mysterious ways FHN! Or maybe he was caught by the current? Or maybe thats the only way to get the immigration officer involved?
i am not a jehovah's witness but i am very interested, i have many questions and hope they can be answered here.. i do believe in god, privately.
i do say my prayers daily and do believe god helps me in countless ways.
but i don't go to any church.. i have always been impressed at how smart, polite and nice jehovah's witnesses are and i always make time to speak to them when they call at my door.
Lilly! Welcome.
It is a psuedo-intellecutal approach to learning which leads to a deep seated self righteousness. In time it will manifest itself to you if you keep playing thier game. Don't be fooled. Step back and be objective. Would God keep changing his mind on "Truth"? Duh.
if you do a little research there are many physics forums, discussions, and books about this.
it's a bit challenging to grasp but it's very interesting.
if there is life on this higher dimensions, they could see us yet we would be unable to see them.
I dont know about the 4th or the higher dimensions but the 5th Dimension were the best! They are pretty old now though.
i just noticed that the movie noah has been officially rated pg-13 in the us.
now all of the jws who were waiting anxiously to see if they could go see it will flock to see the movie.
i have heard a couple jws say "i hope it isnt rated r so i can go see it".
They will be so excited to see that the Ark is a box in the movie and doesn't have a keel. It is "accurate", right? But the dionsaurs miss the boat in this one too along with unicorns and batboy.

Nope different. The french series is based on a french movie. This series is based on a completely different book/source. So fear not, it will stand on its own merits. Go "worldly demo show!". lol

The second episode last night brought intrigue into the equation. Jacob's dream makes you wonder if there isn't some sort of supernatural intervention in matters. And what's with the bald guy saying, "She found us"? Does that mean that Jacob's aunt is back too and no one knows? That's my guess but who knows? I am thinking that a hammer to the head is probably not a good thing. And what was in Jacob's coffin? Nothing? Hmmm. The other guy had the suit jacket on he was buried in because he had the note she placed in his pocket. Did you notice that? She looked for it on the chair but he'd taken it out and put it in the bible. Is his crazy son right? Is he a demon? I actually have a relative inactive for over 15 years who wanted to know if it was demonic because she wouldn't watch it if it was. When will these people let go of the tribal superstitions? I like the show so far.
