I was a long distance runner in my 20's Rm

I too was involved in some of these sports in the 1930,40ies,( have a film clip of the long jump, with tabulation done in 1942), soaring off the 10 meter platform, the 15 00 meter races, hitting the wall, the "needles" pain. so, deep interest, fellow feeling here.

Its mostly a contest of human genetics when you think about it.

Rm, yeah, it is amazing how the runners, pole vaulters look like the models that walk the fashion shows. Hope that these fine specimen and speciwomen have more kids than the welfare queens.

watch to where not watchtower , but watch how here:

10 meter ladie's platform: 1.45 seconds in weightlessness, time enough for somersaults and with an entry into the water with only a gurgle.

just one of the amazing feats to feast on. all on energy provided by the father of it all.

Did ANYBODY Here Believe The Witnesses Were The One True Religion?

i was raised believing i was very fortunate knowing i had the truth.

i was groomed to be an elder.

i figured if mother said something, even if i couldn’t totally understand it, it was correct because mother knows best.

wt's bible agenda fitted the mood at the times, cold war . 40. 50s. other details did not interest me at the time, but time tells, and by the time of the "superior authorities" revelations, my trust, confidence, conviction about wt was a washout.

Jesus, without sin and a perfect human being ?

by smiddy3 in

how could he be, regardless of how god impregnated mary, as she was a sinful human just like the rest of us according to the bible.. mary was subjected to the adamic sin like all other humans, so jesus had to at least be part sinner himself.. to believe otherwise is just deluding oneself imho .. the only way jesus could have been really without sin is if god created him the same way he created adam.. what do you think ?

.

waton

Why not get straight to the point and just make Jesus free of original sin? It's just not logical!

Ds: right, why not even invoke the principle, during the original sin phrase, that the children should not pay for other's (their parent's) sins?.

why not step in, for example and delay the first seductions ( I assume that Eve was very persuasive too, having good assets to back up her offers) until the first conceptions* were viable, and genetic damage would be limited to the original offenders? * I envision Eve having perfect sextuples after perfect sex, giving the same diversity we see since the mythological deluge. 3 procreating couples.

Homless in Seattle raping and assulting people, the dems don't care.

Because of policies that make housing more expensive!

S:right! immigration, tax policies, fat pensions for the entitled. profiteering in speculation. -- In many cities, even a low ranking professional, earning near 40.- and taxed***, an hour can alone not muster house ownership with values near 1 000 000.- and climbing out of reach.

with more people and more dollars chasing the limited resources, it is going to get worse.

*** profits on house flipping hidden by sham ownership in Canada are not taxed.

Deuteronomy 23:1 funny verse

by neat blue dog in

i'm surprised i only noticed this just now, deuteronomy 23:1:.

"no man who has been castrated by having his testicles crushed or who has had his male organ cut off may come...".

🤣.

waton

Losing the organ causes massive blood loss and often death.

rtn: not if the crushing is done with white hot rocks, cauterizing the veins opened by the crushing burn. If eunuchs were allowed to serve in the temple, ladies that saw possibilities with the likes of the sons of Eli, would be dis- appointed.

I have it on good read, that the supernatural, if any, has a capital J in it. but

I would think that to mean Joseph, a story with no metaphysical, 'beyond -natural-laws' happenings in it.

Amazing performances in sailing, running, jumping, throwing. Had a funny experience today:

after a night of watching Roger Bannister's look alikes doing the 200, 400, 5000 mts, , the pole vault, visually the supposed post -armageddon normal,

I had to visit an office, and was shocked by the consistent contrast in appearance of the able help, fully filling all the chairs, to what I had seen all night. Then it dawned on me, I had seen them too, --- during the hammer throw.

thank you for the minus signs. but really,

what is your take on this expression of near adamic / evic perfect, human peak performance?

ps: games are serious matter, Brazil and Mexico soccer teams nearly coming to blows.

Understandable, perhaps these were boys, that had rising from unimaginable poverty to be at the pinnacle and are now challenged in their further climb.

Splane's "Apostate" talk transcript

by FFGhost in

jw
friends

for any who can't (like me) muster the masochism necessary to sit through an 18-or-so hour commentary on a 30 minute talk from a certain famous/infamous commentator, here is a link to a transcript from splane's saturday afternoon "apostate" talk:.

https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/ot7z2e/splanes_apostate_rant_transcription/.

there are many topics worthy of consideration, but this particular section really stood out to me:.

waton

Splane's talk just tells me that they are monitoring this site as well as Reddit and whatever other forums there are.

HD, yes, and the issues are not about scandals but doctrines. because all organisations have the pedophile component, even the boy scouts. so it comes down to doctrines, and they have conceded, no contest.

I see a certain parallel with Eve being the big first stepper in the right/wrong direction, but as far justice is concerned, she, or her act was not held against us. now,

if Mary died a martyr's death to, we are covered on mother's side too. if

there ever was a talking snake, not just a story.
