This is especially true with Sisters that are so ugly they would scare paint off a dump truck.

DUH!

This is the oldest argument. And the oldest lie is based upon it at Gen.3:4-5. It does need some qualification, as subtlety of meaning is an effective instrument in the wrong hands, as the arch-interferer is well aware. There is a very real TEST o whether or not my supposition is true ..is a lie .. or is something else. Provide some real life HARD FACT EXAMPLES, or even just ONE, of where Jehovah had interfered with any modern Nation, Tribe, Organization, or individual person, in any way whatsoever. Like I say about "faith healers" ... it's one thing to have faith in a "healer" that cures invisible diseases ... It's quite another thing to have faith in a "healer" who can restore an amputated leg. Please give me ONE solid example that meets THAT kind of level of evidenciary proof, and I will change my viewpoint. Call me when you have a piece of proof the equivalent total irrefutably of healing an amputation. Until then, as Arnold Swartzenegger says: "Talk to da hand".

...

There is a REASON horses do not have wheels!

If Jehovah interfered with modern day mankind, the word FREEDOM would be meaningless .... and there would be no legitimate consequences to our actions ..... as we would not be in control. We could legitimately blame bad stuff on Jehovah, for acting ... or NOT acting to various chance and circumstance, that befall us all. With FREEDOM .... we are on our own. paraphrased... "STUFF HAPPENS!" ... get USED to it ... that's the way things REALLY are.

wah de do DAH!

Melinda: That is one of the best comments I have read in a long time, here.

Court document reveals more details in bizarre naked kidnapping case in Alberta Chris Purdy LEDUC, Alta. The Canadian Press Published 2 days agoUpdated September 24, 2018 They thought it was Armageddon and wanted to save their neighbours. They believed police were monsters. They showed super strength after being pepper sprayed and Tasered. And all but one of them were naked because, with the end of the world, they didn’t have time to get dressed. A court document has provided more details in a bizarre naked kidnapping case that happened last year south of Edmonton, but some questions remain. Two women and one man, who cannot be identified due to a publication ban, each pleaded guilty in Leduc provincial court last week to a charge of unlawful confinement. One of the women also pleaded guilty to dangerous driving. Her two teenage daughters were involved in the case, but not charged. The girls’ father, who was not part of the group, has said the five may have unknowingly drank some hallucinogenic tea. But the agreed statement of facts submitted in court says alcohol and drugs were not factors and there is no mention of tea in the document. The group, who are Jehovah’s Witnesses, had gathered at a home near Leduc on Nov. 2. The mother, who was then 35, had taken her daughters there to visit her 27-year old nephew and his 30-year old wife. But over the next three days, the court document says they didn’t leave the house and they barely ate. One of the teens recalls watching movies but also hearing screaming and banging and seeing ashes in the air. Some of the five hid in a bedroom or a bathroom. “They did so because they believed that they were in danger, either from bad or wicked people outside or from demons,” says the document. It says the group believed that the Great Tribulation had happened and Nov. 6 was Armageddon. So they rushed off to find safety and save a neighbouring family. “Four who were naked were changing but they had to leave right away because it was unsafe, so they left without clothes,” the document says. The mother, the only one dressed, drove them all in a BMW SUV but was in such a hurry she went through the garage door. When the vehicle headed to the neighbours’ home, it apparently bent a metal gate. The neighbours – a man, his adult daughter and her six-week-old son – were forced out of their house and into the snow without shoes, the document says. The woman and her baby were put in the back seat with the teen girls, who were naked under a blanket. The man was put in the trunk and ordered to chant “Jehovah” ten times. The group also chanted “Jehovah” as the SUV sped down roads and went through a red light on the way to nearby Nisku, says the document. Because the trunk didn’t latch shut, the man was able to climb out when the vehicle slowed. His daughter, after getting her hand slammed in the door of the SUV, was able to get out with her baby. A passing truck stopped to help the trio and they climbed inside. The document says the SUV then rammed the truck from behind and the woman and her baby were thrown into the truck’s dash, although they were not injured. The SUV then went into a ditch. When Mounties arrived, the group continued to chant and refused to get out, at times clinging to the vehicle and each other. One of the teens believed the police “were monsters who would kill them,” says the document. Officers said the people in the SUV “displayed extreme strength.” Two were unaffected by pepper spray. The three adults were also shot with Tasers between two and four times before they relented, although one then slid under the vehicle and had to be dragged out with a strap. The neighbours later told police the group seemed “demonized” and “obviously not in their right minds.” A judge has ordered pre-sentence reports and risk assessments, which could include psychological testing. The three adult offenders are to return to court for sentencing Dec. 20. --------------------------------------------- I wonder when we will be seeing this news on the JW.ORG Web Site?

The Multiverse I was referring to was the 11 or so dimensions indicated by String Theory, a subset of Quantum Mechanics ... not the comic book Multiverse.

Ever heard of the expression "Suicide by Cop?" Ever heard the song "Seven Spanish Angels" by Willie Nelson and Ray Charles? Opinions vary. And who is this Shirley?

Will people who have committed suicide get a resurrection? Assuming they would OTHERWISE be resurrected, think about THIS: Jesus deliberately went on a known "suicide mission" and died because of that decision.

Melinda Mills is correct .... technically Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting ... only possible in a spacetime continuum without entropy and is not created. He may possibly BE the non-entropic spacetime continuum, before the "Big Bang" created ours (?). I agree with multiverse theory, so it's easy to reach that conclusion.

You give a very reasonable scenario that may be 100% true ... or zero true. I have a completely different theory that is out of mainstream thinking. How many HARD FACTS do you have to support your theory? Same with my pet theory. NONE.

Here on the Archive, I will lambast and excoriate a general idea or principle like firing an arrow high into the air ... and people will accuse me of slandering them, because they jumped high enough to reach the arrow, and get it stuck in their chest.. .... always good for a laugh!

Reportedly Robert Redford, the actor, was a virgin when he was first asked to star in the 60's movie "The Graduate", a classic that has withstood the test of time, and been referenced in other movies, TV shows and even cartoons since, even decades later. He turned down the part, which subsequently went to Dustin Hoffman, because he knew that although he was at the time a virgin ... he realized that NOBODY would believe it.

Lighten up! You will be a LOT happier, and live a LOT longer .... and besides, Iran is not a place I have. It does not belong to me!

I thought I was going to be reading about your whiny indignation at being called a liar ... but was pleasantly surprised by an irrefutable piece of logic and reasoning. You are right! So now the question arises .... WHY .... on this issue (apparently ALONE) has the GB decided that "THIS ts the Hill we are willing to die on ..."? For good detectives, information is related in some way ... and is cumulative ... hence the occasional revelation ... "Hey! ... (facepalms forehead with a slap) ... it all a ADDS UP!" SOMEWHERE IN THIS MORASS IS A GEM OF TRUTH. ABOUT WHY. I suppose it's like hunting for REAL gems. You have to dig through tons and tons of irrelevant spoil material to get to them.

Surely you jest ... and I will stop calling you Shirley.

You assume much about how choices and the job market really works, grasshopper!

You assume much about altruism , grasshopper!

I was referring to the GB, not the folks at the bottom. They at the bottom have absolutely no say or valued opinions whatsoever, and therefore not the same reprehensibility. Think about the backgrounds of the GB .... they are all old men who if they were not doing what they do now ... what else COULD they do to survive in the "real" world, outside of free money, and LOTS of it? They could not economically survive of their own devices, is my best guess. Instead of reading scripture, it would be "You want fries with that?", or "Welcome to Wal-Mart".

What helps me stay in, generally, is that I expect NOTHING from anybody, and consider everybody no damn good. I put up with them ... BUT THEN .... they have to put up with me. We're EVEN.

Then... they cannot be fired by anyone on Earth, and revolt is completely suppressed ... and no matter WHAT they do, or don't do ... the free money keeps rolling in ... and they never have to get their hands dirty, or miss a meal, or sleep cold, or wear worn out clothes. This not in the slightest bit unusual, when religions have LOTS and LOTS of real estate. It is ho-hum normal. We are NOT the exception.

... like at the famous "Battle of Little Big Horn" when George Armstrong Custer's army troops were being massacred by the Indians, while firing his last bullets he turned to the Indian Scout beside him, and said "What are we going to do NOW, Scout?" The Scout replied "What you mean WE, pale face?"
