welcome fall!.
please describe autumn in your community.
its feel.
hmmm, leaves on the tree's are still green, temp was close to 90 yesterday, grand-kids swam in the pool last evening. It's getting dark around 6:30, last month 7:45. Mosquito's in the football stands and muggy.
Still running the air-cond. all day and night. I love summer, so the longer it drags on the better I like it.
Sylvia, I agree, you have a very nice way with word's, your discription made me feel like I was looking at a Norman Rockwell painting. I enjoyed it.

i caught this on the news this morning and thought it would be good to share it with other americans.. http://www.foxnews.com/video/index.html?playerid=011008&streamingformat=flash&referralobject=10662271&referralplaylistid=playlist.
LTWT, thank you for your back up support. VIII, Thank you for showing the H.R.42. I wasn't aware of that.
Beks, I didn't mention you, I said those so offended, meaning those that complained to the LL about the flag, or anyone in this Country offended by our flag. I'm happy you display our Country's flag. I lost an uncle in WW.II, my dad served in WWII. My husband served in Viet Nam, My son served in the Gulf war. You bet I'm offended that someone would be offended by displayaing the AMERICAN FLAG.
And the news clip did say, people were "OFENDED" by the American Flag being Displayed.

Wheather this was on fox news or any news, this is America, why would it offend any person living in these United States, to have an American Flag.
If those so offended can't handle the American Flag that American's shed their blood for, then go live somewhere else... I enjoy my freedom that was fought for, that some gave their all, so that we may fly our flag. If a symbol of our Country offends you, then please feel free to leave this great Country. You won't be missed.

assuming the bible true:.
thinking of the story of the way that jehovah, through samuel and saul, dealt with the amalekites; with the discovery of the criminal gene, could this justify the god of the bibles actions against these nations, when he put out the order to not have compassion for them, and the israelites were ordered to put to death, man as well as woman, child as well as suckling...??
I asked my jw daughter about this, boy, did she get angry with me... She said where did you get this info? I told her I got it off an atheist sight on the internet, that they pointed out these scriptures. I told her I looked the scriputres up and indeed it did say god orederd these killings, I showed her the scriptures. She got all puffed up, anger on her face and told me, if I was being an atheist, her kid's didn't need to be around me.
I told her, I read it in the bible, how do you explain a god that oreders killing children, women, and taking some of the young women to make their slaves?
No answer, so she left and the next day came with all kinds of book's from wt. Later, she asked me if I understood why god had to do that. I had to tell her yes, for fear she would keep the kids from me. I didn't read any of it, I just told her, I understood, those that god ordered killed was because they were disobeying god, running amuck and if god didn't destroy them they would never learn.
Not a good excuse with me, but had to play along.
I will not accept god of the ot that ordered such atrosities.
You know, with that reasoning, its probably why we will never see peace in the Middle East, between Israel and Palastine. They contiune to kill innocent people, women and children. The god of the ot set the example for them to follow.
It's my belief the ot was written by religious extremeist, terrorist, and suscide bombers all in the name of alah.
i wondered, since the jws claim that jesus is their teacher, what evidence do they have of jesus shunning "bad associations"?
it seems to me, from reading the bible, that the religious people of his day really gave him a hard time, because he actually spent the majority of his time with "bad associates", rather than shunning them.
thomas, though he followed jesus, wasn't totally convinced.
Why do I feel ya'll are talking with Renniah in disquise?
just like people choose to believe in santa claus and the easter bunny, knowing they're not real but it's fun to believe, is there anything wrong with going to church and believing in the christian god when deep down you know its not real either?
that's where i'm at these days.
how do you feel?.
I'm kind of in the same place you are. When things get scarry for me, I still want to pray to Jesus. I still feel I have to ask for His forgivness when I feel I did wrong. Maybe it's just because all my life I was raised to believe that way. I like the Jesus of the NT. I'm not all that happy with God the Father in the OT. In the OT, he was a mean and vengeful god. No matter how it's explained, I can't accept the things he did.
i'm a newbie as far as delving into information other than wt based, and have only just started posting on this board...so maybe the following thought will be old hat to some of you, not a concern or perhaps something you occasionally think about.
but, are you scared to watch the news?
purely for the fact of seeing things go on in the world that would prompt you to think about your jw upbringing?
I heard a man being interviewed on the news that wrote a book about Amadineadad ( excuse the spelling) President of Iran. He said that Amadineadad believes the end is coming and that he and the extremest muslims are wanting to hurrying this along by bringing about all the calamity, destroying the infidels. That is one reason why a government can't reason with him about neuclear weapons. He thinks the all infidels should be destroyed.
He wants to hurry Armageddon along so Mohammed will come. He also belives Jesus will be with Mohammed and Jesus will tell all the people they were wrong to believe in Him.
