and saying, No Thank You, as the person cooking makes way too many leftovers, they just say Yes, I'll take it, thanks.

Then as soon as they go home, they throw it out in the woods!

Have you ever heard of anyone else doing this, or is it just my crazy family?

don't need to look them up: "And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

In the Gospels Mat 24-29 24-30 24-34
Jesus Christ says something like this "... Truly I tell you. this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place..."
Any one who has read the Bible knows what Jesus is talking about. so no need for me to explain. What I need you to explain is why the things that he was talking about did not take place... ??? To me here one has to read this passage as it comes literally. Otherwise we have this sort of "I dont say what I mean and I dont mean what I say. and you have to guess ,if you can, the meaning that I am intending." The sad part is that God (if it was really God who wrote the Bible) is playing some sort of Baccarat En Baccarat we play for money. but in the Bible we play for our eternal bliss or eternal suffering. Who said that gambling was bad?

think the difference of these seals are?

Do you agree that the seal on the believers in Yeshua Messiah is spiritual in their (believers) forheads and the seal of the antichrist (unbelievers) is physical & put into the back of hand or forhead?

What is the difference between the family having a wake and a viewing?

The founding father of JW believed the return of Christ in 1914, as WWI began. As this did not happen, he then chose 1975 as the reurn date for Christ. The beliefs were that at Armageddon, the earth would be cleansed and become a glorious garden.

Then, In 1918 the Canadian Government forbade copies of the Watchtower to be distributed. Yet today, there are many printing presses run by JW in New York alone.

My question is what are the JW thinking? Don't they see the founder of their own religion and beliefs was a false prohet who was never correct?

Let me point out first that I'm not a Christian, I am agnostic, and I have a really cute one-year-old daughter. Sorry, just had to brag.

My boyfriend of 6 months is a very strong Atheist. We've been friends for 2 years and we started dating this year but I haven't told my family yet because they're strong conservative Christians. My father considers my boyfriend his friend (they used to work together) but once I tell them I know they aren't going to be happy.

I'm very much in love with this man and I don't plan on giving him up. I love him for who he is and I don't want him to change or feel pressured to change by my family. I want them all to get along but I'm not sure how to go about this. Can anyone give me advice?

And do you think humanity would be better or worse for it??

For me I will say without GOD in my life I would still be kind to people, however if you lived a way I thought was disgusting from my point of view I just would ignore you, stay away from you and only associate with people that I could relate to, because I would have no use for people that I found to be vile and in-appropriate from my point of view as a human being, but GOD's grace to me is what helps me to love, forgive and tolerate most people I would have no interest in being around
or forgiving, and I think if you took GOD away from people most would say the same thing.

Do you think people would forgive people who have done horrible things if GOD said you don't have to?
