Dorcas of course was good with the needles, and even though it did not prevent her death, it merited her a resurrection, a reward in line with Jesus' mentioned to bring benefit, humanitarian activity.

it's not really a funny subject, our getting old and our bodies falling apart.
sure, as the saying goes, hard work won't kill you, but it can wear out your body.

Why Were the Anabaptists Not Chosen by Jesus in 1919?
by berrygerry inwt acknowledges their lack of neutrality during ww1, and previously stated that this was followed by a period of refining.
however, they were still the one group that far-and-away were the only ones that were practicing first-century christianity the most closely, as well as being the only group trying to do so.. interesting read about the hutterites ( http://www.ubcpress.ca/books/pdf/chapters/courtsandcolonies/chapterone.pdf ).
, especially this quote about ww1:.

because they lacked the savvy to come up with a worldwide campaign, proclaiming " The World has ended, Millions now living will never die". That gem brought wt the honor to be appointed the Faithful & Discreet Slave, of 1919, 5 years into the under lapper group of the last generation.

think it's really terrible that the Russian government banned the JW.... Yes, they have done many mistakes (and held them accountable for that) but they are peaceful people.
mf: They did not ban the people, did they? they banned the wt bts inc, org, the originators, enforcers of the hate.

Hey Sylvia, if you wanna talk athletes having babies to a female they're not married to, that will be the longest post ever on this site and any other site for that matter, the list endless
SW: right, if these families (or parts thereof) would have been held to wt, mosaic law) standards, rather than nightly choice of the most brawny sleep mate, we would never have the athletic excellence we see now, in all fields, so: darwin at his darnest., untrammeled by morals.

Baptism as a Symbol of Dedication - Anther unbiblical doctrine of men
by doubtfull1799 ini'm not sure if this has been discussed before - i did a brief search and couldn't find anything on this particular aspect.. for those atheists who believe it is all nonsense anyway, feel free to ignore this post.
i happen to be of that same persuasion but i still enjoy discussing it on a philosophical level.
its funny how you may have left because of the more "out there" doctrines and chronology etc not making sense and you come to see that they are going "beef the things written", but the longer you're out and the more you think about your old beliefs, even the most common basic or "fundamental" doctrines are also "going beyond the things written.. baptism as a symbol of dedication is a case in point.

Hebr. 10: 7-10 : "--I have come [ to baptism] to do your will--" is cited to by wt writers, not of dedication, but of an public , symbolic act, declaration to do "god's" will
God, like in Guardians Of Doctrine aka F&DS, GB at spiritual war in warwick. meaning made clear by :
Spirit directed Organisation, not HS.

14 hours ago"Serena was pregnant when she won the 2017 Australian Open and thanked jehovah for the winning shot.
dd: In the heyday of Commi east germany, the coaches would get the girl competitors, ( mostly single) pregnant, no better boost than those legal hormones.
They were not blaspheming though, they thanked their drug overlords.

UC Berkeley Reverses order cancellation of Ann Coulter speech
by blondie inuc berkeley orders cancellation of ann coulter speech.
officials at the university of california at berkeley on thursday reversed their decision to cancel a speech by conservative firebrand ann coulter.. the university had announced wednesday that it was canceling coulter’s appearance following several political protests in berkeley that turned violent.. but on thursday, the university said it had found a venue where it could hold the speech on may 2, instead of the original april 27 date.
however, a leader of the college republican group that originally invited coulter said the university was placing strict conditions on the event, and he said his group intended to reject the new terms.. before the reversal was announced, coulter had vowed to go ahead with an appearance anyway.. that probably would have put security officials on high alert and might have sparked another showdown in struggles over campus safety, student views and ideological openness.. “what are they going to do?

Does that include the violence in--.
sm 1010" of course it does, violence is a step too far, The beatings of non flag saluters that i saw in the 1930s, the book burnings. Even the shooting of armed [police] men as in Paris can be wrong. Killing an unarmed black man? or 4 white men. like in Fresno CA? of course. But then, you do not have be armed to present a mortal danger to others. a hit in the head will do it, like the young lady that was killed defending girls from being harassed by a group of imports, in Europe.
Violence shows you have lost your reasonable arguments.
I love to listening to opposing views, Ann, and the opposing left leaning lady were always fun.

It will drag on, it is not final. Rather than the ban'em all, it would have been interesting to have the individuals who write, authorize , order others to distribute, these hidden threats brought to justice, expose what, by whom is really taught and thought.

All these bans, violent protests to shut down discourse and debate, just shows the fragile reasons that the opposers stand on. can not stand to hear an opposing view expressed.
