Dunk 'em at lunch?

by WatchTowerofBabel in

someone i know just attended a circuit assembly and said they do the baptisms during the lunch break now??.

"if you're gunna go for lunch - try not to be too noisy on your way out.

" to paraphrase what she said the bloke on the platform said.. .

Who knew eh, it is a big change for anyone in England who has spent their life going to CAs in Northenden.

Just one more example of how damn isolated JDubs are... Even from other Dubs.

I understood your point -- Perhaps it's different in the U.S. from here... I'm sure when I was younger it WAS part of the program. Last thing before lunch on a Sunday. NEVER during lunch.

And the person I spoke to told me how she ended up talking to a sister she didn't know about the change... Both of them were disturbed that it seemed disrespectful. Neither are young.

This was a change to them both.

(Unless both are suffering dementia and I'm remembering my childhood wrong)

I am Jack's raging bile duct.

But now rules have been broken and I must go self-flagellate with a moist napkin.

I was just thinking... The pool is in the same room.

Don't know if perhaps I wasn't clear... It's always during lunch at the DAs, where they have to nip off for a splash and get back, but in the local the pool is in the same room.

Some people used to make sure they didn't get baptised at the DA just because of the effort.

Last C.A. I went to was about four years ago... Baptisms were before lunch - not during it.

At least on this side of the pond.

Wtf? Is that right?

Soon you won't need baptising: "Leave that for the anointed... Just sign here... Here... And here."

Survey: Who here is an atheist? Who here still believes in God?

by Christ Alone in

i just wanted to take a survey.

let's not let this get into the same old same old debate of atheism vs belief.

just respond with "atheist" or "believer" or "maybe god exists".

WatchTowerofBabel

I'm a believer... Though I wish I wasn't from time to time.

I can't intelectually justify my belief in a "God" all that well, but that doesn't stop me having one. (Proverbs 22 v 6)

I hope you die...

i'm curious.

(true in both senses).

when i was a child i used to hope celebrities i liked (or wanted to boink) died before armageddon.

WatchTowerofBabel

Who knew, I'm not crazy.

Alright, perhaps I'm still crazy... But not because of this!

Spanks folks - It's weird to have people say "I know what you mean": It's no small thing.

Jesus=The archangel Michael?

by WatchTowerofBabel in

(the first chapter of hebrews seems quite explicit on the issue).

but since scriptural texts don't seem quite enough for my jdub kinfolks (wtf?

), i tried to find out where this poppycock idea first popped up.. .

WatchTowerofBabel

Leolaia - I dread reading a comment from you that I don't agree with - I fear when I do I may be forced to change my opinion.

Reslight2 - I shall have a look at the links you posted. (Although you seem to be saying that an Archangel isn't an Angel?)

I'm curious. (True in both senses)

When I was a child I used to hope celebrities I liked (or wanted to boink) died before Armageddon. Also true of just general people I met and liked, I distinctly remember thinking "what a nice person, I do hope they die soon".

I also used to think about killing my family and as many people I liked as I could before I was stopped... It always seemed like a fair trade as a kid, save them all from the second death by giving them the first, so what if I get the second myself? (I never contemplated actually DOING anything, but the theory seemed sound when I was about 8)

So, as I was saying, I'm curious; anyone else remember thinking similar?
Or am I just missing a few screws?
