Mark 8:36 "What profit a man to gain the whole world...
by kepler in... and lose his soul.
" when jws came to my house years ago to instruct me on "what the bible really teaches", i gathered from the text that doctrine made a distinction between humans and spirits such as angels.
the belief in a bodily resurrection made the notion of a soul either redundant or something that would be extinguished.

kepler: "--This suggests that somehow we are to be transformed like caterpillars into butterflies.
Excepts that is the reverse than the resurrection, which is butterflies into caterpillars, because
Butterflies procreate, not the caterpillars. Angels have wings though, but to procreate they have to shed them to marry, like they did, before the flood.
kepler be careful, your famous name forbearer Johannes K , was disfellowshipped for bible question quests.

do whatever you think is necessary to continue serving Jehovah. Move far away from --
the idea that your life should be focussed on the wt slavery aka serving god. You are doing yourself a disservice that way. Sooner or later this former torturer of yours will succumb to the urging of his hormones, and you would be wt free to remarry. but why let yourself be ruled by those artificial, even barely biblical rules?
Your trouble is, you might seek out (without realizing it) the same personality type again. Take advice of many counsellors.

The Creation of Genesis Chapter 2ff
by Doug Mason ini had long held the piece of the jigsaw puzzle which starts at genesis 2:4b – the yahwist’s creation story.
i knew that its authors had never heard of lamarck’s theory of evolution, nor had they read darwin’s “origin of species”.
the authors were addressing their own immediate culture, so i had to transport my mind to their times.

To think that wt doctrine is but a spinoff of these nebulous attempts to explain existence.

Is it true the society were considering disfellowshipping overweight people in the 1980s?
by UnshackleTheChains ini just saw the video below and thought 'no way' !!!.
but then given the obsessive amount of rules they have, it wouldn't surprise me in the least that this was at least considered.
if there is some credibility to this, then they most certainly have gone beyond the pale!.

waton why would you want to know? so you could give that person the electronic stink eye? lol
lostwun: no, But would prefer to respond to any sticky issues, which can be done if there is a pertinent comment, post, reply, rather than just a click of the mouse. and truly, I like dislikes. nothing personal, often the issues discussed are serious enough to merit strong responses.

There is this theory that the perception of time's duration has to with how long you lived already. It could be a feature of nerve deterioration with age. If there is no aging in the PPP, that would be a terrible drag. think of how long meetings were when you were 8. In the new world we will be young again? , the drag re-introduced.
