ill ask this question again.
take a random sampling of adult individuals from around the world. ask them 1) if they have heard of jehovah's witnesses. 2) what message do JWs preach. how many would answer the first in the affirmative? i would guess less than 50%. what do you think? how many would mention something about the kingdom in the 2nd answer? you know, the theme of JW preaching, the basis upon which all these people are going to be judged? im guessing well under 10% here.

some halls even kept a supply of white shirts on hand in case of emergencies like visiting speakers showing up in satanic coloured shirts.

imagine this;.
you have been on the fence for a while, but it is becoming more and more apparent to you that your leaving is just a matter of time, and that soon, very soon, it will all come to a head.
you wait for that phone call from the elders like winston smith awaited the bullet in the back of his head.
it would also be cool if this team of troubleshooters knew how to convert everyday household items and other junk into tanks and rocket launchers in a pinch.

"I love it when a plan comes together."
scholars generally understand the prophets isaiah and jeremiah to have been historical figures that lived during the times they were purported to.
the books that bear their names were generally considered to have been legitimately composed by them.
(first isaiah that is, ch 1-39.

(First Isaiah that is, Ch 1-39.) At least this is what im led to believe.
Now both pre-exilic books mention the 70 year period of babylonish supremacy. (Is 23; Je 25,29) how is this apparently prophetic statement understood by scholars?
thx

max, excuse the plagiarism of your thread heading.
royalties on the way!.
a few weeks ago maximus began a thread which he named nourishment for the spirit which resulted in a most interesting discussion of books that we had read and that meant much to us as individuals, some acknowledging that the books had added much to their lives.. now i would like to ask a question.. have any of you read or viewed a piece of art, read a poem, or heard a piece of music that actually changed an ethic in your life or adjusted a previously held viewpoint?
hey hillary. verbal chaos or not, that was a cool story. please put it back up in some form somewhere.
still trying to think of an example for your question tho.

interesting thoughts bgoat. the bible is certainly an incredibly powerful and enduring piece of work, no matter what one thinks of it. if one finds spiritual value in it in nothing more than the questions it inspires, well then that's something at least. altho, i think you're just looking for meaningful questions and intend to search for answers thru other personal means, than one might as well look for inspiration in any given holy writings, say the collected works of Dire Straits for example. one would probably find that more enjoyable too.

happy monday!.
had no price tag.
much to her embarrassment the cashier got on the intercom and boomed out for the entire store to hear: "price check on lane thirteen, tampax, supersize.
told to me by a lovely pioneer sister one day in service (honest):
A man was stranded on a desert island with a horse. Eventually, out of desperation, he decides to find carnal pleasure with his only companion. Unfortunately, he finds the deed more difficult than he imagined, for the relunctant horse refuses to stand still.
Just then a beautiful woman, stark naked, comes walking up the surf. Eyes wide, the man turns to her and says, "Thank god you're here. Can you help me keep the horse steady."
