quick answer: way too much!.
this is something that really gets to me, all the way back to my childhood.
twenty minutes each way, three times a week.
plus going to the field service meeting and then into the territory, and drop of companions and home. at least 2 times a week unless you were pioneering, then a daily privilege.
Jehovah (the gb really), was always generous with the time devoted to him, in a useless work.
god has never been just one idea.god is always changing in the mind of true believers to fit the current situation.it's like a virus.
adaptation is part of evolutionary principles.change is powerful.superstition has almost always played a part in manipulating public opinion around the exploits of ruling powers.however...in the 20th century, the hold of superstition was sorely tested and found wanting.
"god is with us" became threadbare.communism promised a worker's paradise.
Terry, there is a lot thought in that post.
Good thing the Nazis did not have the undisturbed material and industrial might of the Americans. would that different result have been proof of their better doctrine? ideology? Can our individual contributions here even be compared to an all out war?
We all will become old[er], but whether we become losers would depend on our purpose , goal; so, define it well.
If there is a creator of this great place we live in, religions have not define him adequately.
i just happened to read a news article from some months ago about doctors having performed a successful penis transplant.
the recipient lost his due to cancer, and doctors expect him to gain full use of his "new" penis, including sexual activities.
considering some of the more goofy interpretations of doctrine that the gooberning body trots out that the rank and file must obey under penalty of shunning i wonder if a man had this surgery, would he and or his wife be df'd for adultery?
It is actually a blood & volume issue. Past wt articles have pointed out that in a whole blood transfusion/exchange the life, some personality traits are transfused too. so,
that newly attached penis, particularly during erection, is fully infused with the new owners blood, with that fluid making up the biggest percentage of the volume inside the married partners organ, how could it be a dultery? certainly not a dull moment.
shocking admission on univision: obama policy led to rockville rape.
by jorge bonilla | march 22, 2017 | 1:06 am edt.
below is a full transcript of the above referenced segment as it aired on noticiero univision on march 21st, 2017.. maria elena salinas, univision anchor: well...much indignation has been caused by the brutal rape of a student- a young student that...had been abused by some central american teenagers.
Perhaps as part of being a sanctuary city, Baltimore [or less] should install comfort sections in the High School toilets for horny students from the far south, documented or not??
last month i got caught by my wife after a late night out with her (and some drinks).
i guess i am evil.. just wondering if anyone else has had this misfortune.. rub a dub.
"Lot's of people pee in the pool
we wished they would go the bathroom instead, and pee in the sink, or during the halftime hot shower. and
that is why the French call the pool "piscine" from the latin word for fishes. they poop, urinate in the water too.
bible connection? Saul peed. pooped in the cave, David attending from behind.
when we look at the total universe imagine a jar of sand.
just one grain of sand would be our galaxy so we may be able to see our earth with an electron microscope.
with that in mind, it always made we cringe when at the meetings an elder would say "jehovah has prepared a spiritual banquet for us tonight," or "it makes jehovah happy that we made the effort to attend the meeting tonight.
If he's actually behind this he's a damn ignorant God figure.
figure he is not. but if he is the cause of all this creation, it speaks for itself.
Attributing wt material to the creator is blasphemy, perhaps using a middle eastern "walker in the garden" minor deity, and a supposed holy name thereof is demeaning to.
Pretending to know "god's" mind is elevating the speaker or writer to be his psychiatrist. good luck with that in the long run.

1942 in Austria, in a room housing 4 boys, at night, nature called, when the toilet was down the hall in the hotel, many sinks, but only one toilet. got caught and punished.
just a heads-up that i will be testing some updates this evening.. the nature of the changes means it's difficult to test every scenario in advance offline (translation: it's a lot more effort and i just can't be bothered) so i'm going to go with the "wing-it" approach:.
deploy, check for errors, try to fix errors before anyone else notices them.. i can switch between the new and old version pretty quickly so if there are significant issues, i'll rollback and revert the changes while i work on the fixes.
worse case is the pages won't display quite right (dates might be a giveaway) but a full page refresh should fix things.. http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/.

last weekend i was watching darkmatter2525 on youtube and came across this new thing in the bible.
jehovah has evil spirit!!
was just wondering how i didn’t come across this absurdity when i was a jw for 11 years.
..OK this may start a new topic, but your view on the 40 year track though the desert.
well it is tenuous, but on topic! why would the anti-idolatry god use a snake idol to cure viper bites, as through magic, weird action at a distance as Einstein would say?
hope this works .
was listening to this on youtube today.
check out brother bradford's comment about the picture of the governing body at about the 1:11:38 mark.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk_jnua-ua0.
He is the professionally trained hotel, restaurant server, (kellner) on the dinner tables, are they waiting for their timely spiritual food?
