Spiritual Routine
by turtleturtle inthis is why "spiritual routine" is not a good thing regarding one's relationship with god.full definition of routine (m-w.com).
1a: a regular course of procedure <if resort to legal action becomes a campus routine j. a. perkins> b: habitual or mechanical performance of an established procedure <the routine of factory work>2: a reiterated speech or formula <the old after you routine ray russell>3: a worked-out part (as of an entertainment or sports contest) that may be often repeated <a dance routine>; especially: a theatrical number 4: a sequence of computer instructions for performing a particular task after reading that whole definition ask yourself this: imagine you are married (if you are not already) or have a loving parent.
do you think your wife or parent would like you bringing flowers to him/her on a "routine" basis?

Methods of handling problems with WTBTS
by joe134cd injust wondering what are the top ways in which the wtbts handles persistent problems in the order of the most favoured (1) to least favoured (4) .
(1)say nothing and hope the problem goes away, and that no one bothers to research e.g cut backs and sell offs.
(2)not our fault and blame the other person(e.g1975), the spirit of the world, imperfection, satan etc.

FDS: Ad Jesum Per Mariam = Ad Deus Per Regendo corpori
by Gorbatchov inthis morning i was thinking (again!!
i want to stop it, but i can't) about the "new light" about the faithfull and descrete slave, now identified by it self as the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.. the society created their own marian devotion!.
the latin prase "ad jesum per mariam" has become "ad deus per regendo corpori".. gorby.

The Westboro Baptist Church uses term "Disfellowship"
by meangirl ini just got through reading a biography by lauren drain "banished-a memoir" where she writes about surviving her years in the westboro baptist church and i noticed that they use the term disfellowship.
i thought it was interesting since i had never heard of another religion using that term.
hmmmmm so a "hate group" uses that term.....interesting don't you think?.
