  anybody remember the 8 day 1969 international convention.

  i was at the braves stadium in atlanta all 8 days with a sunburn and then wet clothes after the rain storms.

  if you were there (not necessarily in atlanta) do you remember anything about it?

  I remember the 63 8 dayer at the Rosebowel CA. My mom and I drove there from Seattle. HOT HOT HOT.NO BREEZE. I was in grade school. I fainted in line for lunch. My mom and I volunteered at the Snow Cone thing. A billion hornets showed up. My mom was thinking about adopting a kid from a friend who died. He was my age and a complete Eddie Haskell. She even brought him home until he wanted to blow a hole in my brothers stomach big enough to fit his head thru. The end. Sent back. Long Beach Congregation. I remember nothing that was said. Who could understand anything with that reverb from all the speakers. I loved the hotel pool and seeing my mother's family.

  Hearing voices, not always caused by demons.

  my wife and i for the past three months have been caring for a teenage girl who was abused by her parents.

  she stole a car to get away, and living in prison was a welcome relief for her.

  she was in prison for four years, and the state was going to release her, but she would not go back home.. a co-worker teacher that my wife knows told us the situation, and we agreed o help the girl get back on her feet.. well, she dealt with abuse from all aspects 😔, and is pretty messed up in the head from all of that.. but by being in our home, she was safe and was learning how to deal with her problems.

  can someone please help me find the video from the society regarding not advancing children's talents?

  it's about a child who is very good at something musical and has been invited to participate in a special advanced course but his father explains how that is worldly thinking.

  something along those lines..

  “Tree of good and bad” means what?

  by venus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if “tree of good and bad” were literal, it would mean adam and eve would know what is “good and bad” only after eating of that tree.

  however, even before eating of it, they would think “it is good for us to eat of this tree” which means they are already endowed knowledge of “good and bad.” that means “tree of good and bad” is symbolic of something.. since religious organizations interpret this differently, each reader has to adopt his own conclusion.

  for me it looks like this: one thinks of good and bad in relation to himself—if something is beneficial for him he would say it is good for him, and bad for him if it is not beneficial.

  I often wondered why if Satan was so smart, being JCs first creation and being around for kazillions of years......why not induce them to eat the tree of life first? They could still be alive today.....if they existed in the first place.

  I saw mine recently......but she didn't see me. I would not seek her or any of them out. If I were stuck in a situation with her I would only tell her that she was the most harmful hypocrite I have ever met. Until very recently I kept very loving feelings about those I grew up with who now shun me. (was never df...just left). I came to the conclusion that I was hurting myself and nurturing feelings of rejection by hanging on to people I would never want in my life now. I feel a lot better because of that. Don't waste another minute on them. You are stealing that minute from things that are good for you.

  so i thought my purpose was to serve jehovah and get baptised.

  where do i go now to get baptised?

  is baptism even a requirement for serving god or was that just for the disciples and people of that time.

  Who baptized Adam and Eve? (if you believe that). I don't recall any baptisms until John the Baptist. Baptism is a meaningless ceremony ..... unless you want to attach any meaning to it you want.

  This Weekend's Watchtower Study "What You Vow, Pay" from April issue

  by BluesBrother in

  2. bible

  just some random thoughts here... theme scripture is matt.5: 33 .

  we already had a thread explaining that jesus added a "but" after those words.

  however, few would argue against the principle of keeping one's word.

  Even though my mom was an almost totally immersed in JW doctrine, she led a pretty normal life until she had post partum depression at 33 and they hooked her in. One of her thoughts though was when the Society started this business of "willing" you estate to the Society she was not falling for it. She said, "Jehovah rules everything, the universe....everything. He doesn't need my money."
