I mean that at the end of each creative day the Creator looked back upon the work of that day and said that, "It was good". All except for the day that man was created. It seems that after making Adamn and Evil He never said, "It is Good." So either we are His failure or we were just incomplete and are in the process of reaching perfection.....

For NorCal folks: Was Jimboys' Tacos started by a JW?

hi, folks.

i just had someone mention casually that the jimboys' tacos chain was started by a jw.

i was curious (we were talking about jimboys' dumping recent issues of the sacramento news & review because of a photo of two gay men on the cover... see story here: http://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/content?oid=1040008).

JImboys was gross. I knew a Japanese American brother that owned several Jimboys locations in Sacramento. He also used to serve up the tacos at the circuit assemblies in Yuba City. Once they needed people to stir the groolish meat and tomato mixture with paddles so I volunteered. My brother and I are Hispanic and he commented that the food would be authentic now that two tacos were making the tacos. My brother and I looked at him and he knew he had effed up. We walked away leaving him to find someone else to cook for his racist ass.

Not been on for AGES but need to rant

i've not used any boards for a long time because i felt i'd got what i needed from them and felt i needed to 'move on' for want of a better word.

i've just come back from staying at my j.w parents house for a few days (which was long enough) we don't usually bring the subject of 'it' up but the other night i got it all, the bile was out, they were on defensive mode, to the point of shouting, insulting me, telling me that they'll 'cut me off' if they find out i'm apostate, then laughing at me and causing me to actualy feel worthless it was unreal.

i told them i'm an atheist and tried to tell them what the 'truth' does and what it really is but i got absolutely nowhere.

is my baptisum as a minor vaild?

by highdose in

as a young minor, barely into my teens i was in a congo that had extreme peer pressure to get baptized.

in fact you were seen as a bad person if you didn't, and everyone else my age was, the threat was that if you were the last to get baptized of your generation then you would be seen as unspiritual.. this and some other things have troubled me since:.

when i came to be baptized i was suffering from an illness that greatly affected my concentration.. when it came to the assembly and i had to stand and answer those two questions i was shaking so much i didn't actauly say anything, in fact my mouth wouldn't open.. i am totaly sure that if i had waited until age 30 to get baptized as jesus did, i never would have got baptized at all.. so my question is: was my baptisum actualy vaild?

The jw's standard is that any Catholic baptism of a child is invalid because the Catholic Church is not the True Church and that one MUST be rebaptized for salvation. So, using their own standard I would have to say that since the wbts is not the true church either, then a child's baptism is not valid.
