  Didn't help, still do not like jazz. Unless Pat Metheney is still considered jazz.

  Sorry, never liked solos in rock music or in jazz. Its so egotistical and usually had nothing to do with the song itself. Might as well just perform a solo concert and don't mess with a band.

  Going back to the 2008 Generation

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it looks to me like the society is rapidly moving back to the february 2008 watchtower "new light" on "this generation," which said this:.

  * jesus used "this generation" to mean "anointed ones.".

  * in the first fulfillment, jesus was promising that some anointed ones would still be alive to witness the events of 70 c.e.. * in the secondary fulfillment, jesus was promising that some anointed ones would still be alive when jesus returns to judge the sheep and goats.. the new 2015 jw research guide posted on jw.org lists this 2008 watchtower article as the first article people should read about the "clarified understanding" of the generation.. this 2008 view also matches the statement in the new 2015 jesus--the way, the truth, the life book, which says that "this generation" refers to disciples who see the signs of the last days.. i think they are abandoning the overlapping part..

  They now believe that the overlapping generation IS the one generation that saw the events, through the eyes of the first lap which told the second lap about the events. So its just the same doctrine it just puts them together. They could say that some of the "overlapping generation will not pass away" and it would be the same thing I think.

  i want you to see how fake people are who pretend their open-minded, dr. erhman try's to reason with someone whose mind is totally made up.

  the topic is whether there was a man named jesus and paul, the infidel atheist get's owned because he shows his true colors!.

  1. when would you tell this fool he stupid or willfully ignoring the facts?.

  Now Even JW Men Are Going To Die At The Big A

  by OneFingerSalute in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so this weekend there was a part about not following jesus at a distance.

  the speaker made a big point of stating that any baptized jw male who was not either appointed ms/elder, or at the very least "reaching out" actively, was in fact following jesus at a distance.

  he said that the only way to live through the big a was to follow jesus closely.

  It's always better when these sort of outlandish, (not doubting it) quotes have some sort of documentation to use in supporting it when informing others.

  I'm okay with the "fruitage of the spirit."

  by cappytan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  though i now consider myself a secular buddhist, i just realized today that i'm okay with trying to pursue the qualities mentioned by paul as the "fruitage of the spirit.".

  the only one i take issue with is "faith" in the context of religion.

  what are your thoughts on the matter?.

  In the 80's they had articles on each one of the fruits of the spirit. It was something I thought was way overdue. They were very well written and practical. People were paying attention to them and I saw efforts by many in my congregation to apply it. I know that I tried. Then we had an article after that that said that it was our works of faith that save us and not "character building". I knew it was BS after that. Someone at HQ was at odds with someone else I think.
