Why did Jesus piddle around for 40 days in the wilderness?
by nowwhat? in

after all he only had 3 and half years to perform his ministry so every day counted.

instead of witnessing to satan couldn't he have made better use of his time reaching as many people as possible?

just using some jdub reasoning on the matter..

Since the topic veered off to the famous talking snake....
Loving Jehovah never warns Adam and eve about a roaring lion on the prowl. Its like a father not warning his children about a child predator in the neighborhood, who would anytime pounce on his children.
And Eve is not surprised about a talking snake and has normal conversations with it. If it sounds like a fairy tale, for sure it is.
Maybe that's why JW's don't warn members in the congregations of pedophiles in their ranks? Just following the example of their loving god.

Now that JWs know there is a pedophile problem...

... will they take it upon themselves to warn their bible studies of pedophile activity in the congregations so they can protect their children, or will the cycle of abuse continue with the attitude of letting new ones take their chances along with the rest of us?.

What did the actual footnote state?
Whether an individual who has suffered abuse should seek qualified professional help is a personal decision.

I heard thru the grapevine that in my old congregation that the Elder who conducted the WT study announced before the study that if anyone was abused, please don't share the experience during the study but wait till after and talk with any Elder. Could you imagine if people started to speak up and talk about it during the study!?! I think I would actually attend to see that.

cardi-b, who is an american rapper, singer, songwriter, actress, and television personality, admits in an old video of drugging and stealing from men.

if the roles were reversed, do you think this would be a front page story instead of being buried on the back page?

why isn't the progressive left demanding justice?

as you are completely barred from talking or being involved in politics while in the org, since leaving has anyone started any political campaigning or activism?

I am liberal socially. I don't care who you sleep with, what you define yourself, and what you want to smoke. Just don't make me support your choices by my tax monies. I am conservative in that I don't want government telling me what I can do. It's none of their business.

i have a few and built two 80% lowers.

just got a larue two stage trigger.

i can get 2moa out of it at 100 yards with a nikon 223 scope.
Doctor Who

.233 for deer? Wow! Yes, it CAN kill a deer if it is close but isn't a great choice and can cause much suffering for the animal. Try the .270 which is simply a .30-06 case with a tighter neck to accommodate a smaller bullet diameter. Swift, humane and very accurate.

I love my guns, but would never allow an animal to suffer. That's disgusting. Also, I believe in responsible ownership, knowing how to use them properly and teaching others safe, responsible ownership. Some of the crap talked about in this thread is disgusting.

Oh, for Christ sakes! All you race baiters who try to take every little word and make it racist is bullshit. In the northeastern USA, a coon is a coon, a racoon. Nowhere in his post did he even remotely apply it in any other way. If a racists connotation came up in your mind, then maybe YOU have a problem.

I was raised on a farm and I will tell you, they are destructive little bastards. Really no easy answer once they get settled in. I am always for the humane option first, but if there is a problem one...a swift and painless death is sometimes the best option. I personally hate traps. Believe it or not, a water sprinkler set to a motion sensor works well. From my personal experience, they hate that. Also mace! But if either doesn't works for you, don't use the traps. Unless you are willing to drive 20 miles away, they eventually find their way back. A well aimed 22 and bam. But please, use only as a last resort.
