Hey E&E,

Is it Monday already? lol

[Eyes & Ears]

Oh, shucks you mean it isn't Monday. Sheesh. :blbl:

Wait, you just wait until you get older. (if system lasts that long) I used to laugh at my mom, NOW OH BOY NOW, I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS GOING THROUGH. THIS MIND IS SLOWLY LEAVING AND GOING ELSEWHERE. WHERE THAT IS I HAVE NO IDEA. BUT THIS MIND HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN AND IT JUST GOES HERE AND THERE WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT. ONE DAY IT WILL JUST GET UP AND LEAVE AND I WILL BE OUT LOOKING FOR MYSELF. OH DEAR!!! :lol:

Sometimes I think, that woman is turning over from beyond and LAUGHING OUT LOUD AT ME as I try to remember, hmmmm did I take that pill, or what day is this really come on now, or why is the dish detergent in the oven, :rofl: I was looking for it for two days and had to open a brand new bottle.

By the way I thought what you said below was hysterical. :rofl: Not to mention that I am a tad twisted with my sense of humor.

James said : "Also, those 'new' anointed ones are older ones,most likely with decades of service. Did they receive new light? Did they wake up one morning and say, 'by golly, I do think I have the heavenly calling, yes, yes, I believe I do!" :imnotworthy: :imnotworthy: :imnotworthy:


You silly goose you.

Love to you and your family James

I'm really excited to know if they'll identify a "true religion". According to JF Rutherford, the second president of the Watchtower society, EVERY religion was demonic, and a snare and a racket by Satan the devil. Here he is saying it himself in a public discourse entitled: Religion - A snare and a racket (1939): http://www.archive.org/download/ReligionIs...Racket_64kb.m3u (http://www.archive.org/download/ReligionIsASnareAndARacket/ReligionIsASnareAndARacket_64kb.m3u)

I wonder if the society has changed its views concerning "religion" since then? :D

When I was very young we believed that we did not have a religion but had a way of life patterened after Christs' model.
Does that sound arragant? I don't mean it to but it is true none the less either Jehovah is with his people or he is not. But Satan is definituly behind all the other religions. Sorry that is just how I see it.

Hi Faithful:

It actually did sound more than a bit arrogant. It is exactly the attitude taken by the members of the religion that had existed for many hundreds of years and carried God&#39;s name as well. Seems it was supplanted by an upstart religion nearly no one gave any credence to called The Way and later Christianity. Yes, the Jews were a very arrogant race and took much for granted as to thier relationship with Jehovah. It seems that talk was cheap for them though. We&#39;ll have to wait and see if this holds true again.
