  I met a 104 year old man today

  by Bad_Wolf in

  i was at a mall trying on shoes and this old man is in a wheelchair near me.

  says how he thought those shoes were sharp and he had never worn brown shoes before and that he is 104 years old.

  i said no way and asked what year he was born.

  In the story, both Dorcs and Eutychius, even Lazrus were resurrected while their bodies were still intact. so, not a recreation act. repair or reanimation perhaps. but:

  Wt now predicts that the 1914 generation will pass away before the end, how? because

  The Wt generation is the anointed, and they are scheduled to die before the Great Tribulation starts! so,

  The Jesus generation survived the end (070) by ~30 years, The wt generation will be dead before the beginning of the end. now

  how about an overlapping generation of 120 year olds?

  The point at which you think this may not be the truth

  i remember one of the nights that i found out the truth wasn't the truth, that is after finding out about the united nations, i remember riding my bicycle from like 1am till 5am in the city night.

  it was rather chilly, maybe about 55-60 degrees and i was playing pink floyd's dark side of the moon album in my earbuds.

  just riding and riding, not really tiring because of the thought that 7 men in brooklyn had duped me, duped me for like 20 plus years.

  On a bike, riding you are in balance, daring, you can do a wheelie.

  he ran into me a work and asked could he come , i said only if you're by yourself and don't wear company garb.

  3 hours later and i might as well talked to myself.

  i used every illustration and persuasive argument.

  if we could give a "A-A sermon" (Adam 2 Armageddon) at the doors 50-60 years ago, surely we can stick it to them now, full bore blast?

  Hypocrisy of JW.org at this week's book study

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  a paragraph taken from this week's study of 'gods kingdom rules.

  15 jehovah’s people remain loyal to the messianic kingdom not only by refusing military service but also by respectfully declining to join in nationalistic ceremonies.

  especially since the outbreak of world war ii, a wave of nationalistic fervor has swept the globe.

  JW father got a Russian medal pinned to his chest (with a cross on it) in a nationalistic ceremony glorifying the fatherland?

  d1799, very apropo thought, Putin touted "Mother" madka Russia, then, during the nationalist ceremony, right now he is in the fatherland where he worked before.

  Evolutionist on their deathbed.

  i would really like to read the thoughts of an evolutionist as they lie on their deathbed.

  their "honest to nogod" thoughts.

  their terrors.

  On my death bed, and I am one of the oldest poster boys here, I will be content to have carried the " flame of life" i.e. genetic accumulated message well, reproduced along, perhaps introduced some longevity, late reproduction wrinkles. without me, my children, grandchildren would not flourish, but they dont need me, perhaps my money? , but that is like the deist creator, we do not need him any more, as long he lets us use what he left, useful in his absent [mindedness]. .

  it must be arround 1978, when litle gorby was on holiday with his parents and brother near some tourist village in the very south of the netherlands.

  it was always special, driving 300 km in a litle saab 96 for holiday, far more then others of our jw congregation.

  worldtravelers on a small scale.. and then, while walking near the road, in a moment, my mother said loud "look, brother co!!!"..

  I think this is a curious reaction of the mind/brain when two unrelated fields of memories are jolted together.

  I remember at the 1958 Yankee stadium sessions, in a foreign language section, a brother turned red and white in shock, terror seeing me. ... he had courted my beautiful fleshly sister (prior to both him and me converting and moving, losing contact.) He just could not fathom that we were now in this new common relationship, called "truth" panic attack.

  faces? then it was the 2 stroke, now it is the diesel, made in germany. ha ha the smoke is no joke.

  previously wt applied the actions of the US military might as "the Earth" during WW2 as the "swallowing" action, now they apply it to the court victories after that conflict. shifting light.

  Daesh members are persecuted in all territories they operate now. so they all qualify for Merkel's open border programme. they can then not be send back, because they face danger upon returning. An active German soldier faked to be an Arab refugee, speaking french, got admitted, started receiving allowance, if he can pass, Isis can. dont even have to start growing a beard, just hide your passport. pronto.
