100 foreskins for your daughter
by Zep inthought dating and marriage was tough in the year 2000...well just check out what david had to go through.. david wants to marry michal, sauls daughter.so whats he have to do?.
samuel 18:25-28. at that saul said: "this is what you men will say to david, "the king has delight, not in marriage money, but in a hundred foreskins of the philistines".
so david rose and struck down among the philistines two hundred men, and came bringing their foreskins and giving them in full number to the king to form a marriage alliance with the king.. lol

GTR
by Zep ini've almost finished gtr, just finished reading jw ideas on the 70yr prophecy in 'let thy kingdom come'.seriously, i read most of the 1914 stuff over at osarsif a few months back...and that was pretty good.but coj, hes blow the gentile times right out of the water, utterly destroys it.
i use to me amazed at the 7 times interpretation of jw's, it was proof to me that they had the truth or the answers as far as the bible is concerned, what a joke...unbelievable.i get the feel from reading this book that the 1914 stuff is just bound to topple in the next ten years.after reading this book (almost) its just incomprehensible to me how dubs could hold onto it.the head hunchos in brooklyn must be aware of this book, some of them must have read it?....they must be aware of how stupid their interpretions are.but then again.... i think, when they get rid of this date 1914 ....they will find it even harder to convert people, as if it isn't hard enough.1914 gives them a powerful tool, they can say 'we predicted the future' therefore we are gods chosen, its one of the things that captured my imagination when i was a kid and made me pay attention to them than i should have.....same too, with a friend of mine who has recently fallen in with them.i think its converting power is very powerful and would rank highly in the converts mind just going by personnal experience.without it they will not have the same power unless they can find a new prophecy to hold up as proof of divine approval.

Moment of Truth/ Cognitive Dissonance
by Zep inso how long have all you guyz here been apostates anyway, just curious?.i mean, it must be kind of cool to reflect and think...."well, heck, i'm a damned freaking apostate" or altleast a closet apostate, of which most of you are, i think?, right?.yeah, such a cool label is "apostate" huh!.but i'm interested, just how did all here personnally come to realise 'the truth' aint really that?, what set you on that track and made you look outside the bounds of wt literature into so-called apostate areas.. and what finally convinced you that its all just a heap of nonsense?
and forced you to shockingly conclude you had been living a lie?.what did it do to you at that moment, i mean, how did you deal with this blatant self admission that the wt was wrong?
did it crack you up or what...or did you just laugh it off or something?..

ARE JWs Snoops?
by Zep inon the the back of awake june22 is a short little story!.
last year, in maryland, u.s.a, a man politely refused the wt and awake magazines.his younger, however asked if she could have them, and the father said that she could.the two cleaning their car and putting trash in a nearby trash container[in other words a dumpster].
concerned that the magazines might be discarded, the witness who offered them decided to return later[in other words late at night/early morning] and check the container[container is such a nice word...but in reality its called a dumpster...].

HORNED WILD BEASTS AND STUFF
by Zep inthis really hasn't got anything to do with sex, but i figure if you can have a masterbation thread in the bible research forum, why not bible research in the sex forum...besides, its groovey down here and bible study is such a turn on sometimes!.
luke refers to the gentile times, when jerusalem will be trampled until the times of the gentiles shall be complete.this is 607bce to 1914.
" jerusalem" here refers not to literal jerusalem, though you wouldn't know it from reading luke if the wt hadn't told you, but actually refers to "spiritual" or symbolic jerusalem..so the trampling should stop in 1914.well.....according to them(wt) the trampling does but it doesn't.. rev11:2....they holy city will be trampled on underfoot for 42 months....this is from 1914-1918...so the trampling of jerusalem stops in 1914, but at the same time also continues past 1914 to 1918 according to the wt.....what do the witnesses or russelites do during this peroid, well its supposed to be a peroid of persecution, thats why jerusalem is trampled...well, it must have been some peroid of persecution because while all this trampling is going on they are doing this:.

Whodunnit!
by Zep injesus taught that the romans should be loved and not hated.therefore some of his zealot mates decided to get rid of him.some of thezealots were rounded up and condemned to death by crucifixion, some guys high contrived for jesus to be exchanged for barabbas.they gave pilate evidence that jc was part of the zealot movement and was a would be king.jesus was on the cross he was offered poison to drink to end it all, but refuses.by 3pm the pain is unbearable and he takes the wine laced with poison and looses consciousness...but he aint dead.john says that blood came from a wound in his side:clue: a dead body dont bleed.the jews tell pilate that its contrary to law to have the bodies hung out overnight.so pilate agrees to change the excution to being buried alive.all 3 guys are put into a cave.it was thought that jesus was dead, but the others were alive and to prevent their escape their legs are broken (?
).but jesus mates realise he aint dead and they put 100 pounds of myrrh and aloes in his grave clothes...to expell the poison from his body.one of the zealots sitting in the cave with him, pours the juice into his mouth...he recovers.. mary magdalene comes to the cave ans sees that the men had managed to roll back the big rock blocking the cave a little.mary goes and gets help, and jesus later apears before some of his supporters then goes into a monastic life but still guides the others at times.. so......angela lansberry, eat your heart out!
