I learned how many different ways the Bible referred to the "anointed" and 1919. When Abraham's camel farted it was a reference to the inspection in heaven and the "anointed" it seems. Turds.

What causes new light? Embarrassment, unsustainable doctrine, a desire to affirm FDS status or avoid liability??
by Wasanelder Once ini am sure its a bit of all four.
do you think they are embarrassed by old doctrines as time goes by that become ludicrous?

I am sure its a bit of all four. Do you think they are embarrassed by old doctrines as time goes by that become ludicrous? (Beth Sarim 1925 Resurrection). Or maybe facts over time just don't sustain a doctrine, ie: numbers rising among partakers? Do they simply want to show they have the "FDS" mojo? Or does it come down to cash? (Split the corporations and appoint "helpers", basically fall guys in lawsuits?) What is your take? -

"Only Baptized Ones have Unrestricted Privilege of Prayer"
by BluesBrother ini was sitting at the recent circuit assembly that i attended, (the things i do for sis blues) and the baptism talk was under way .
i admit that my mind was more on my imminent packed lunch and flask of coffee but i distinctly heard the speaker make the statement that heads this thread and cite a wt reference.. you what !
i was shocked....... how can they possibly make such an arrogant statement ?

Don't panic. I understood it to be that all sincere prayers are heard by God. BUT, until a person has a clean conscience only available by accepting Christ's sacrifice can they have unrestricted approach to God in the way of a "relationship". So its not that he doesn't hear prayers, its that the person feels free to approach and therefore he is clean before Jehovah by way of Christ's sacrifice. You're still talking to yourself basically either way. Save your breath and rent a movie on Netflix. -

The Bible is a funny book. Names
by James Mixon inisaiah 8:1 the lord named this person"mahershalalhashbaz".. king of babylon 2 kings 20:12 "berodachbaladan or merodachbaladan".
king of assyria 1 chronicles 5:6 "tilgathpilnesar".
and then we have "do do" in 1 chronicles 11 :12. i never heard those names mention in the ministry school.. i wonder who had a hand in naming do do, satan or god..

These three sons of Benjamin are my favorites! Can you imagine their mother calling them for dinner?
(Genesis 46:21) 21 And the sons of Benjamin were Be′la and Be′cher and Ash′bel, Ge′ra and Na′a·man, E′hi and Rosh, Mup′pim and Hup′pim and Ard.

1. Dick Van Dyke - Watched a two hour interview with him. NOT once did he badmouth anyone, not even an enemy. He is the most pleasant and likable person I have ever seen.
2. Paul McCartney - Brilliant song smith and businessman. Ever positive.
3. Stephen Fry - Though often blunt, a great mind with a razor wit and vocabulary.
4. David Pouge - Tech writer and explainer of things scientific. An intense, but practical enthusiasm for science and tech. Great series on PBS.
5. Jimmy Carter - Four years as president and not one war. Into his 90's a worker for better things in the world, health and political. Helped wipe out a major disease in africa that killed millions.
