  the elders announced a new meeting schedule at the morning meeting.

  Regarding Quoting Scriptures All the Time

  by AllTimeJeff in

  are you really thinking for yourself when you quote scriptures all the time as your personal answer?.

  i bring this up for two reasons: first and foremost, it became almost a game in jw land, a competition to see who had the better (wt approved) passage when something came up.. almost always of course, if it was "of this world", well, we know the nwt in particular is full of how bad "the world" is.

  can't be part of "this world") its bad!.

  ...New Study on Vegetarian`s...Not as Healthy as Some may Think...

  sydney (afp) - people who live on vegetarian diets have slightly weaker bones than their meat-eating counterparts, australian researchers said thursday.. a joint australian-vietnamese study of links between the bones and diet of more than 2,700 people found that vegetarians had bones five percent less dense than meat-eaters, said lead researcher tuan nguyen.. the issue was most pronounced in vegans, who excluded all animal products from their diet and whose bones were six percent weaker, nguyen said.. there was "practically no difference" between the bones of meat-eaters and ovolactovegetarians, who excluded meat and seafood but ate eggs and dairy products, he said.. "the results suggest that vegetarian diets, particularly vegan diets, are associated with lower bone mineral density," nguyen wrote in the study, which was published thursday in the american journal of clinical nutrition.

  "but the magnitude of the association is clinically insignificant," he added.. nguyen, who is from sydney's garvan institute for medical research and collaborated on the project with the pham ngoc thach university of medicine in ho chi minh city, said the question of whether the lower density bones translated to increased fracture risk was yet to be answered.. "given the rising number of vegetarians, roughly five percent (of people) in western countries, and the widespread incidence of osteoporosis, the issue is worth resolving," he said.. .

  Faith of the Fatherless: The Psychology of Atheism

  by whereami in

  has anyone ever read this?.

  most atheists come from a family where the father was missing, dead, weak or abusive.

  paul c. vitz has written a very interesting book entitled faith of the fatherless: the psychology of atheism (spence, 1999).. .

  What would Christianity look like without Paul's writings?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a thowoff from ren's thread obviously.. i am firmly convinced that what is called christianity today - is actually just pauline theology.. if you removed all the portions of the nt that are attributed to paul, and actually accepted as primary the words of jesus and his direct followers - the worldwide movement would look far different doctrinally.

  and as far as the fundy's go - they would be lost without the deep judgmentalism and rules oriented thinking of this writer [whomever he really was].. if ren's thread could go 15 pages and counting - why not this one?.

  thoughts?.

  I agree with Jehovah's Witnesses!

  i agree with jehovah's witnesses!.

  (i bet reniaa will be shocked to see this thread!).

  to jehovah's witnesses: i commend your zeal for god, your desire for accurate knowledge and truth of the bible, your goals of drawing close to jehovah, and following and obeying christ's teachings, and your time spent studying the bible.
