…. Not if those paid better attention than Adam and Eve did. 

Home Depot, however, is pretty good about hiring 2 Dimensional cartoon dogs, but restricts them to work only in the paint department.

Home Depot has had problems in the past with Nigerian Princes going in and buying thousands of dollars of merchandise, and using Democratic Republic of the Congo driver’s licenses as I.D. For checks drawn on the Bank of Antarctica, and after 10 days when a check would certainly clear a bank, returning the merchandise for a cash refund.

When I used to work there, we used to refuse to sell to people that were ugly, or too short ….. or talking farm animals.

One can prove mathematically that it is impossible for one racer to pass another  …. and of course I realize this is a false premise … but I stayed awake all last night thinking about hippopotami, and my dog has been licking my eyeballs to wake me up.

That is why comedy is all about Tim….

OH!

I thought you said “posthumorously”!

…… that’s how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

Stephen Hawking was a third-class Physicist, but because of his magnificent overcoming of his disabilities, was a Mega-Media Star who inspired people …. And more importantly ….. donations!

I read his books. 

At least when he talked about “new light”, it was about REAL new light.

Of course, that beggars the classic question: 

Can God make a rock so big that even he could not lift it?

How would you describe a "dimension"  if the word does not yet exist?  We all know that even on earth the angels move in a dimension we cannot physically detect.  Beyond the physical universe there are more dimensions. In our physical universe we are bound by dimensions of  time and space.  Beyond this.... there is no time and space.... 

To the best of my current understanding, there are an unlimited number of Multiverses, and 11 dimensions on this side of the Big Bang, and gravity waves pass across dimensions.….. and only two people on Earth almost understand it.

…. and outside the approximate Universal radius of about 32 billion light years,  …space-time …. Which is one thing, not two …. Does not exist.

Well, at least that’s the way the math works out.

To  get a feel for that, search “poem Infinity Rosser Reeves”.  
 

It’s worth the search.

Fatter heads are not necessarily smarter.

I wish I could triple upvote Arauna’s last comment!

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to determine if they are from God,... - 1 John 4:1

God is spirit, demons are spirits, WTJWorg are spirit guided organization, Bible is inspired by spirit, human also have spirit. All of this numbered are connected to "spirit".

What is wrong to put all sorts of this spirits to challenge, to test? 

 

When you stop doing that, common sense becomes the egotistical ravings of jerks.….. of which there is NO shortage.

“ …. Eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, what God has in store for those that love him …. “

I hardly ever quote Scripture, and almost never debate scripture, because I believe there is so very much we do not know about any subject you could mention … and subscribe to Jehovah’s Witnesses core beliefs only because they make good common sense, which really is unique.….

But then we get into speculation about what happened to Enoch, and accounts musing about being caught away to 2nd or 3rd Heaven, etc., and things about which there is a staggering ambiguity.

With all my heart I believe there really is a “Rainbow Bridge”, without any Scriptural support whatsoever, or basis except the yearning of my heart.….. just the hope that the ones I have loved the most in my life, they have not perished from the Earth.

And perhaps, just maybe, Jehovah will someday let us meet at the Rainbow Bridge.

Good Points 

The Bible says that any congregational discipline has to be done before the entire congregation.

Jehovah’s Witnesses do not do that.

End of thought.

Well … if it comes to Global Thermonuclear War, remember to get some SPF 1,000,000 sunscreen.

Witness believes that for which she cannot give a SINGLE EXAMPLE.

When specifically challenged to do so, she choked n’ folded, using MANY words to say NOTHING.

Not

One

Single

Example.

….. is there ANYONE … that if you asked them, would describe themselves as a “fake Christian”?

So, Witness, with ALL THOSE WORDS …..

You got not a single valid example.

Ya got NUTHIN’ !

…. Perhaps you could go live in your car in the Disney World parking lot.

Ya ever notice that ALL of today’s “faith healers” heal stuff that is invisible to start with?

…… let me know when someone heals a thalidomide baby with no arms or hands, with fingers growing out of her shoulder

THEN you will have my attention!
 

Until then, EVERYBODY is just playing with words, like a retarded kid in a pool full of Scrabble chips.

If Witness cannot provide at least one, preferably several verifiable prophecies that have been issued and fulfilled in modern day times, she is living in a pretend world.
 

And that’s the fact, Jack

….. Nowhere in the scriptures did the apostles say that prophesy would cease before all is "complete".  

There is a very simple and easy test to determine if you’re talking about an idea that’s reflected in reality, one that has a basis entirely in fantasy.

Please give us whatever examples you have of modern-day prophecies that have been issued and any that have been fulfilled.

We were talking, well at least you were talking, about the general idea of modern-day prophecies, which would imply more than one modern-day prophecy that you currently put your faith and hope in.

In electronics, this is called the “smoke test“, when whatever thing you have invented is plugged into the wall and it either works or it blows up in a flash, and a puff of smoke.

if there is such a thing as modern-day prophecies, they should be clear and unambiguous examples, plural, for the idea to be tenable.

I would be interested in the details, in detail.

Do you have any specific clear unambiguous examples?

……. speaking of women as shepherds …..

If memory serves, Little Bo Peep was a shepherd. The sheep would wag their tails behind them. They could’ve wagged them in front,  but they would have to walk backwards.

Religious topics should have a short opening, short ending, and have the two as close together as possible.

otherwise you get a minimum of 18 to 20 paragraphs of mindnumbing words, words, words, that you have heard 1 million times.

Is it proper for a woman to speak , presumably about religious subjects?

As long as they do not belabor to death imagined insults from thirty years ago, that would make a man stop and ponder … “Did Elaine ever own a horse?”.
