"These things aren't wrong in themselves....."
by undercover inanyone else remember those talks about being materialistic?
i can remember when the brother would go on about owning the latest gadgets, new cars, boats and bigger houses.
it seems they always precluded their remarks with, "these things aren't wrong in themselves...." and then would go on to make a big deal about how unspiritual it would be to own these things.

Witness Cruises
by undercover inanother post on another thread about a witness cruise got me to thinking about when the dubs would block whole sections of cabins on cruise ships and have "witness cruises".
i never went on one myself, but i knew a few that did.
i heard some pretty sordid stories.

Typical run and hide from controversy by the dubs.
by undercover ini was lurking on the pure language board and came across a post about 607 verses 586/587.
no one really gave a good defense of it and before it could really get going, they closed the thread.
insight books has a good explanation of pivotal dates.

What if the UN fell apart?
by undercover inthe wts has incessently preached about the wild beast being the un and how the anglo-saxon world power of america-great britain was the force behind it.
what if the un was to fold?
looking at world events this weekend, i wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

Need a little help on 607 586/587....
by undercover ini remember reading somewhere a quote from a wts publication that more or less said that the bible was wrong when it came to one of the regnal years or how many years a certain king had ruled.
something like that anyway(i've got to start copying and pasting or bookmarking or something).
somehow if you take the society at it's word about 607 it creates a problem with the rulership length or starting rulership date of somebody and in one of their publications it actually says something about that time period having to be incorrect.

Witnessing in extreme conditions
by undercover ini talked to a jw friend in another city yesterday who told me of an ice storm that hit where he lived.
he told me that 70% of the city where he lived was without power friday.
there were tons of trees down in the area including some in his yard.

Name some things you would do different....
by undercover inminimus' thread about things that used to upset you but now doesn't got me to thinking.
what are some things that you wished you had done(or hadn't done) if you could go back?
even if you have no regrets at being a witness, is there anything you would have done different as a witness?.

Job 1:4,13
by undercover ini have seen several posts about job's children celebrating their birthdays using job 1:4,13 as proof.
but out of the several translations that i read i don't see where it says it was their birthday being celebrated.
the closest thing i saw was that it said "on their day".

Hemopure = blood
by undercover inif it's made from blood, then it has blood particles in it.
if you're gonna adhere to some bible law that says no blood, shouldn't anything that contains blood parts be included?
but now it's okay to use hemopure or other particles of blood.

Why No Beards?
by undercover inas i have recently started to question everything i was taught, i started wondering about the grooming "laws".
one that never really made sense to me was that the brothers could not have beards.
where is that written?
