Comments You Will Not Hear at the 2-12-06 WT Study (Righteousness)

by blondie in

25-29)(righteousness).

is this the only example of how a young woman can seek righteousness first, .

3. what is righteousness?

Severus

Let us all thank Billy Boy for garnering so much praise for Blondie!

Billy says: Occasionally the writer makes a legitimate point but when she starts from such a negative basis , it is difficult to consistently sustain this.

Ummm, how often does the WT negatively criticise "the world"? Even in this very article!

How often do we hear about positive "worldly" news from the WT? Never.

Who constantly demonizes anything not Jehovah's Witness? Even other Christians!

That's the Watchtower Society's agenda, and "it is difficult to consistently sustain".

The spin stops with Blondie.

What would Muhammad do?

by Rabbit in

i really enjoyed reading a moderate muslim opinion.

i mean we've heard they are there and all...they are just too quiet.

they cannot be heard over the banshee screaming, burning and murderous radical fundamentalist brand of islam.. i hope to see more and more muslims who will be willing to express publically their dismay & embarrassment over what's being done in their religions name.. what do y'all think ?.

When he negotiated a treaty with Arabs who were at war with him, he did not insist that his title as "prophet" be placed in the document (this act horrified his companions, to the point where they thought it was sacrilege). Instead, he had his name written as simply Muhammad, the son of Abdulla.

Ahh, isn't that sweet.

Quotes

Listened to your last interview on this show and loved it!

Please compare the WTS legal fight for freedom of religion versus their rabid fight to suppress information about them (especially your site).

The legal system is only a tool for their agenda.

Revelation It's Grand Climax at Hand! - bookstudy

by TheListener in

i was reading e-watchman today and someone there is saying that after studying the what does the bible really teach book at bookstudies the next book will be the revelation book!!!.

there isn't any real proof, but the poster claimed a letter from bethel stated this.

perhaps some here can dig around and confirm or deny this new rumor.. we've studied it 3 times in the past and it's been awhile.

Severus

Grand Climax at Hand?

I think I need to hit the Cialis now just to prepare. Unbelievable.

There are a number of legends about rhinoceroses stamping out fire. The story seems to have been common in Malaysia and Burma.
This type of rhinoceros even had a special name in Malay, 'badak api', where badak means rhinoceros and api means fire. The animal would come when a fire is lit in the forest and stamp it out.

And Suddenly I Understand the Muslim "Cartoon" Riots

by MerryMagdalene in

i've been thinking a lot about this, watching the news, noticing the problems in communication during interviews.

i have a friend who is a muslim and we try to explain to each other our cultural and religious differences.

there is a language barrier in addition to the aforementioned challenges, but we are still friends who respect and care about each other.. i also have an acupuncturist whose wife is a jw and he gets as frustrated trying to reason with her as i do with my mom.

Severus

Infidel! I declare a holy jihad against you!!

Remember that news story about a terrorist cell in Lodi, California? The mosque there used to be a Kingdom Hall as well.

In the years since, Shah has obtained visas for enough family members to fill 20 households. He co-founded Lodi's only mosque, a pale yellow former Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall of clapboard and stucco near a city park on the southeast side of town.
