genesis 30:37 leaving aside the whole "joseph cheats laham out of his flock" issue.
one passage of scripture that i've missed until now is 30:37 where it says how joseph got all the sheep to be stripey etc ( btw have you ever seen a stripey sheep?
cos i certainly haven't!).
BTW have you ever seen a stripey sheep? Cos I certainly haven't!
The closest I can find is 'The Jacob Sheep'. They are actually spotted but some of the spots look a bit stripey.
Regardless, gazing upon striped sticks will not produce striped offspring. The Bible rendering makes it sound all magic-like when in fact it could have been they were drawn to these sticks for other reasons, but alas, the Bible does not articulate that.
do everything as god would do if he were present here.
this will attract his attention, and you will experience his invisible hands blessing everything you do, giving you results more than what you sowed.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
hence put to the test the above, and then you can make really authentic comments!.
The one who created and gave us trees as our guiding principle.
Ah, talking about the Green Man then.
i just noticed in the bible that on day three, god created the plants and trees on the earth.... day four, god created the sun, moon and stars!
so that means that the vegetation that is by its very nature dependant upon light to grow and photosynthesise was created a day before the sun that it needs to live!???.
this gets even more strange when you factor in the jw exhuse that a day to god is like a thousand years.
1) he views devotees with disgust; because they use god as a means to fulfillment of their materialistic ends, and they constantly pester him with request to violate his own laws (principle of action and consequence).
hence devotees are materialistic in its true sense.
they even interpolate things into scriptures to suit their convenienceas confirmed by prophet jeremiah himself (jeremiah 7:22; 8:8).
Which 'God' are you speaking of?
saintbertholdt: Google.

I have yet to see these AT's in real life. Maybe y'all should move to
the Oakridges Moraine area of York Region in Ontario, Canada.
so my uber devoted mom called me this morning....wanted to encourage to go to the hall today.
she has called my df brother also to encourage him.
our deliverance is getting near, she says....and you need to get to the meeting today.

Yep. I've heard this crap off and on throughout my entire life. Botchtower's Great Tribulation is definitely at hand as the Arc just released it's redress statement. Botchtower is gonna have to cough up some serious cash or go bankrupt.
similarly, we cannotexpect that the future interruption inthe great tribulation will result in aninflux of new believers.
rather, it willbe an opportunity for all true believersto prove their love for jehovah andgive their support to christs brothers.. (par.

I think Botchtower's Great Tribulation is at hand. The ARC just released its redress statement.
wouldnt he, with all his "god power" n stuff.....be able to snap his "god fingers", and like kill the demon that he created?.
who creates a monster, that they cant control?.
i would have totally invented an "off" switch on all disobedient ones.
As our member designs has stated (I am paraphrasing here)... "And then there's the issue of manna. If he can do it once he can do it multiple times but does not." This reminds me of the Epicurus quote:
the royal commission published it's redress report today.
it is a 668 page document, but it is very interesting.
all the recommendations they make are in harmony with what all other institutions will accept.
