  Has the Great Witness Trolley/Cart campaign produced ANY results?

  by freddo in

  2. friends

  i live between two cities that are big enough to have their own metropolitan trolley cart arrangements organised at circuit level.

  the 3 congregations at the hall i attend have trolley schedule noticeboards.

  i see trolleys in the high streets and markets locally.

  I have yet to see these carts in real life. Maybe they need to stand outside:

  a) A major grocery store

  b) Nursing homes

  c) Shopping Malls

  d) Gas stations

  e) Restaurants (preferrably sushi)

  f) A major hardware store

  g) Wal-Mart

  h) Tim Horton's

  My 67 Year Old Elder Brother Is Depressed Because The Younger Elders Are Taking Over

  by minimus in

  he was the school overseer but they relieved him of that to allow younger elders the privilege of the job.

  now he is depressed and actually shed tears, believing his worth has diminished.

  My Dad wanted to go to Beth-Hell but they denied him that 'privilege' because he was too old. I could tell this discouraged him. The Borg is not a supportive organization for anyone but themselves.

  Village Idiot said: SafeAtHome, that illustration depicts an event that's supposed to occur after the Millennium where some of Paradise's people turn wicked and threaten those who are faithful.

  Interesting. So this is supposed to go down in Africa then, due to the presence of the lion there in the middle of the pic. (Heaven says as she rolls her eyes).

  In ancient times, if a person was afflicted with something terrible, they were deemed to be 'unclean' or 'unworthy' as clearly, God had smote them for some trespass.

  We now know that conditions such as leprosy are not from God being angry with the person but have very specific causes.

  Leprosy specifically is a chronic infection caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis and is curable using antibiotics.

  Does Good exist?

  by Bugbear in

  atheists, deists, or believer.....basic philosophic ground .

  either good exist, or has never been, or is dead.

  those are he the three basic premises that we all humans must take a stand to.

  The ancients thought God to be all things, both good and evil. Christians are the ones who separated the 2 because logic dictates if you are good, doing evil negates this.

  I can supply personal experiences that good does exist. As for God, this was the ancients way of defining the undefinable. Even present day believers who do not understand how something wonderful has happened conclude 'God did it'.

  Thank you for posting this. As Geoffrey Jackson himself stated, these groups need to have laws enacted so they are forced to do the right things. Scientology or JW or Moonies, or whatever ... they are no different. They are 'captive organizations' and are harmful to people.
