  a woman i work with is going to a class at her church on how to talk to jw's.

  i told her one question to ask when they come knocking is if jesus is their mediator since most dubs don't know he isn't according to their own teachings.. any other simple questions one might ask?.

  Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials"

  by Fe2O3Girl in

  2. entertainment

  my friend gave me the "his dark materials" trilogy to read during my maternity leave.

  i thoroughly enjoyed them, was completely hooked, and some bits made me cry (which may have been attributable to my late pregnancy emotional hormonal state).. the finale of the amber spyglass gives a really interesting slant on theology as we know it.

  some christians hate these books........... .

  Biting my tongue at last nights bookstudy

  by GBSJG in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so i went to last nights bookstudy which discusses 6 paragraphs of the daniel book so there was lots of room for comment.

  the study itself already was pretty frustrating it was taken from chapter 17 paragraphs 24-29 and it goes on about how the fds has to be lead by jehovah because of all the prophecies of daniel that fits them (1335 days was this convention to that etc etc).

  but the paragraphs also mention the failed prediction for 1925. here are some interresting quotes from the book: .

  6now esau saw that isaac had blessed jacob and sent him away to paddan-aram to take to himself a wife from there, and that when he blessed him he charged him, saying, "you shall not take a wife from the daughters of canaan," 7and that jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and had gone to paddan-aram.

  " 13but his mother said to him, "your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me.

  15then rebekah took the best garments of esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on jacob her younger son.

  What did they do with them?

  by Woodsman in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  (numbers 31:17-18) 17 and now kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has had intercourse with man by lying with a male.

  18 and preserve alive for yourselves all the little ones among the women who have not known the act of lying with a male.

  the more i read between the lines the more disturbing it all gets.
