  There was the "race" question even in the last wt study. par 18 "... prejudice-- hurt you--"

  caught one elder in a real bad ethnic ( not black skin) comment. that would be a serious human rights violation in secret judgement sessions for wt.

  Creation account is the creation of Moses

  by venus in

  the word `intelligence' [from inter, “between” + legere, “ to read”] would mean ‘discern things as though reading in between the lines.

  now read in between the lines of what moses wrote; his favored and frequent statement is this: ‘obedience to god means blessings, and disobedience means maledictions.’ (deut 28:1-68; 30:15-18) let us try to discern his motive behind this statement.. .

  when moses wanted to present 10 commandments and other laws, he naturally wanted to prepare the israelites with a mind-set that ‘we must obey god, otherwise it is problem for us.’ the best way for this was to modify a well-known story of fall from other cultures.

  The spinning blade of a Sword and the 2 Angels guarding the gate....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for some reason i found myself shaking my head once again in disbelief at the story in genesis.. amongst all things, the very concept of a "flaming sword" spinning around and blocking the "entrance to the garden of eden" is so stupid!.

  do people really believe that as a fact?.

  seriously, swords were not even invented at that time!

  The twirling blades would have taken the responsibility for any injuries off the hapless angels, standing there for hundreds of years until the flood.

  they were guarding the tree of life, a recommended , allowed food, an allowance never revoked. so figure, we relied on the tree for continued life, never had inherent everlasting guarantee in the first place,

  Jesus's ransom? open the gates. bad story writing.

  Shouldn't someone speak to David Splane about his bad example? careful:

  no, leave them alone, the class lady he is hooked up with "bras sous bras" ("arm under arm" in french not the bras you are thinking about) is his wife. Couples tend to loosen up when in proximity? starting with the tie? where does this all end?

  Obviously, relationships with age differences can be healthy, rebel8:

  healthy for the longevity of the human race. There was an article in one of the science sites, that it is the breeding by 80+ year old, viral males , passing on their superior genes to obviously younger females ( not much fertility after 50 there} that has lifted the aged health of the current population. There is apparently at least one over 85 year old father of a toddler on this site.

  stuckinarut2 it is the lady that has the last word: "yes".so it is ladies' affirmed choice. men of course do not understand the female makeup, but I could never stomach being married to a person that does not light my fire. so, if ladies do, sorry.

  p.s. The older the male, the more help he needs, the younger the female, the more help she provides. win win.

  18 at the time) whose parents welcomed the proposition of marriage from an elder in his 30s. .... she turned him down .." NL14:

  Glad the young lady had a say in it. Wt parents, faced with a Methuselah proposal might argue of course, that in the soon to be liveable Paradise, the double ratio of 18 years difference now, would be ~ 54 girl / 72 geezer ,--- a better matched golden years situation.

  One of the couples lived with us for a while, and would I want my beautiful slim daughters be in such a marriage? not really, in an unnatural arrangement. I want to see grandchildren, raised in healthy family surroundings.

  Chook, my objection is not the age difference, it is the institution. of course, the groom would probably be eased out of his GB "position". But I have advocated half seriously that men should not be permitted to have children until age 60, with fat retirement pensions, to look full time after their offspring. vivre la difference, even in age.

  by Jennifer Lehrer in

  2. bible

  i was baptized 4 years ago, i have 2 little girls who love their bunnies, so this year we reached out to 4h and started our own 4h group - this was after asking the elders for counsel.

  none provided.

  now after doing this for 3 months i am being brought before a judicial committee for neutrality.

  Humour helps, thank the elders for re-considering, possibly. Asks them if looking at pictures of the "New World" it is not an agricultural society? it being so close, you give your daughters it head start to feel at home, contribute there, when it comes soon. Even Bunnies will be ok, Abel kept little lambs, although not for food. subtly make them think what happened to those animals. 4H is positive for your daughters now. fulfilled fulfillment.

  and wearing two aprons? looks like a still from "all in the family".

  Some sisters might be carried away, but I see nothing extraordinary in these pictures, except some class lady gb member wife. nothing like scenes with Elvis or the Beatles.
