This is fun...Flipper is away from his computer so my Giant insults have been able to ride for awhile without any come back from the Flipper Man.
Say it ain't so..Judge. Its un-American not to like Baseball. What's next from you, you hate Apple Pie and Chevrolet as well?
the watchtower has been known for over 130 years as a great scriptural cherry-picker.
they pick out disparate unrelated verses and combine them to support the wackiest of wacky doctrines.. on the other hand there are many scriptures they almost never address, whether because they contradict wt doctrine or because they simply don't have a clue what they mean or how to spin them to the wt advantage.. one of these is revelation 19:1 that mentions a "great crowd" "in heaven.

You've quoted a few, but it would be my opinion that almost any scripture pertaining to belief in Jesus is being ignored by the WTS.
if you have posted already and i missed it, i apologise, but i have not seen this before - who started the fight???.

This is why we practiced as kids Karate in our backyards just in case we ran into unruly Priests.
that they (trinity) are burning billions alive...forever?
with worms that live forever gnawing on them?.
I like those ironic hells like you see on the Simpsons TV show. They're more fun.
Hellfire is as much a myth designed to scare people as the GB's myth of Armageddon is coming 'any day' to motivate. and scare JW's to the KH's.
Both are equally non-Bible based and equally 'slander' God as unjustly cruel and wicked.
what's a really good movie you'd recommend that most people probably haven't seen?.
my personal recommendation: synecdoche, new york.
it's one of those movies that words fail utterly to capture--which really is the hallmark of a good movie, i suppose.
From the oldies files...
"The Heart is a lonely hunter"
From the book, it translates well. Alan Arkin made his name in this movie. He opened up the entire deaf culture to me for the first time.
"Movies that make you think are nice. Movies that make you feel are special."

Flipper...Flipper...Its not over until the fat lady sings.........
Giants = As reliable as WT prophecy
Dodgers = Rock solid tradition, loved by all, and at least have some World Series Championships under their belts.
Forum guidelines. rule 63 - "No hitting below the belt" Sorry Flipper, I couldn't help to violate that rule about SF's titleless run.

Great thread idea but being hijacked...too bad
surprised me that he actually followed up on his word and called .
it will be strange after four yrs.
to have them in our house .my husband was not happy to hear it will be two brothers coming over, because he really does not want to feel we are being counseled .
I agree with others, its not too late to postpone cancel the meeting. This happens all the time in the sheperding controlling work. Their feelings will not be hurt, and you and your husbands stress level will remain low.
And congrats on you and your husbands lines of WT communication opening up further. That is really great news!
an older clip, but joel engardio who produced "knocking" thinks they do not.. http://www.mefeedia.com/watch/30425016.
That's true JWoods with the hierarchy in the Congregations. I was appalled at how many Elders were literally afraid to speak at the door and were reduced to just being mg salesmen. But if you wanted to be a missionary, the application had a section on how proffecient you were in bringing people to Baptism.
The best teachers in the Org, were the long time Pioneer women, and unfortunately for the WTS, their predudice of women refused to let them take full advantage of their capabilties. No brownie points for them, for sure.
In our case, my wife and me were long time Pioneers and we usually found if you were successful in converting ones, it brought out feelings of jealousy and scorn, not brownie points.
Yes, and the WT conductor said I was the best mic handler he'd ever seen........
