Matthew9969

Interesting statement from someone who has blasphemed the Holy Spirit.

I don't know about where you live, but the tap water in my neck of the woods taste horrible. I gotta have my triple filtered water.

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. So occasionally these verses make me ponder if this ball of water existed for a long time, always existed, etc. before the act of creation. And I can't help but wonder if this is in any way related to the importance of water throughout the bible. Got a lot of brain power on this site so I thought I'd start my research here.

What is your biological fathers name?

Thank you for your history lesson, I'd love to see the source material your knowledge is based upon. You two definatley have way more time on your hands than I do

The gb already stated they do not have the holy spirit, should they be disfellowsipped?

I didn't want to hijack another thread that was already going way off the topic so I'll start this one. In Jesus time, what was the political environment at the time? The Romans socialist, jews capitalist?

I'll take that to mind. These days I listen to radio, due to my job. I lean towards Blaze network and The Daily Wire. I also often take a peek at politifact. I used to be a Fox News fan until I heard this...

When I get my booster I'm going to request a booster seat.

I quit watching cable news networks 3 years ago, and have had a much more positive demeanor for doing so.

That totally nails the governing bodies attitude.

Oh dear, they are going to now start trying to convert the middle earthers.

Interesting, he has a huge following on facebook.

Some jw's need to heed this advice when it comes to the catholic church. Scars are the battle wounds that prove we are still alive.

After God created Adam, Adam came to God and said, You created all the animals and each one has a mate, but I'm alone. Can you create me one also? God replied, Well Adam, I can create a mate for you. It will be the crown of my creation, someone who will serve you, and your every need and desire. The most beautiful and loving creature. She will take care of you always , and give you all the respect that is deserving of you. The only thing is, it will cost you an arm and a leg. Adam thought for a second and said, What do you got for a rib?

You didn't take a left in Albuquerque! There for you didn't read the wise words of that pesky little wabbit.

Post it.

Making assumptions is dangerous, it can lead to false teaching.

I know we all love the bible as a whole, but do you have a some scriptures or passages that stick to you the most? I have 2: Psalm 19[a] For the director of music. A psalm of David. 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. 3 They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. 4 Yet their voice[b] goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. 5 It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course. 6 It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth. 7 The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. 8 The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous. 10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb. 11 By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward. 12 But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults. 13 Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression. 14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. Acts 5 34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. 35 Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. 36 Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. 37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered. 38 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”

That was Russel Crow's worst movie performance ever.

Yes I was joking, making a pun when one of the governing body members told the witnesses to trust in Jehovah, Jesus and the governing body only. In my opinion I see Santa has become an idol and is sort of worshipped by society it is sad to watch. I have faith that God will not kill someone for eating a meal together on a certain day, or for givng as much honor to the son as to the father both whom created all things.

What do you get when you cross Dexter with Hannible Lecter?

Would have been nice having sort of this frame of mind 40 years ago. It sucked having to sit in the hall all day while the kids did their holiday stuff, then getting beaten up afterwards for telling the kids Jehovah was going to kill them for celebrating holidays. If ones culture celebrates holidays, then all cultures holidays would have to be celebrated which would make chaos in the classroom. So I say keep all holiday celebrations out of the school ciriculum, kids are there to learn, not party.

I was joking....sort of. And why do guys keep insisting these pagan gods, goddesses are real beings, even 10 year olds know they are not real just like they know Santa isn't real. This year like every year I'm going to hang out with my physical family, like I do on a regular basis, not just on holidays. Now get off your pius arogant and ignorant high horse and watch some Mel Brooks movies, you need some humor in your life. On a serious note, why do you guys give more power to non existent pagan gods than the Almighty himself?

Yeah, its better to stick with the watchtower trinity......father/son/governing body.
