If those of the anointed of are still alive at the time of the end when they will be caught away isn't that a rapture teaching (a rose by any other name smells as sweet so to speak, it's just nomenclature) and the only difference in the JW teaching and other Christian organizations' teaching is the number?

If God intends everything to come out the way it does, why would YOU as a Christian have life or health insurance? Is that not trying to defeat GOD SWILL, sorry I put the space in the wrong place. Prayer is useless in that event since the outcome is planned. Oh, and what about the 10 MILLION babies that die each year (under age 5) doesn't that make GOD the biggest ABORTIONIST ever? !!

As a birthday present, my Son and Daughter-in-law have bought, and paid for a ticket for me to go on holiay with them and my 3 Grandchildren. They won,t tell me where as it is a surprise. What a surprise it was!
I haven't had a holiday for 11 years so I am completely out of touch with costs, as in treating.
I know it depends on where you go, Spain might be a good guess, but I have 38 weeks to save up. How much do you think I will need?

I keep hearing it from christians, what exactly does that mean !? Is it a ritual thing, does it have to do with baptizing, is it just a metaphor !?!?

Like, hypotetically speaking, if I want to "accept Jesus christ as my personal saviour" (or whatever it is they say it) right now, what must I do?

I just want them to leave me alone and am even more fearful of them if they are a cult, seeing as they persist in ignoring my requests to not disturb me. Why are they so rude to an elderly woman who has asked them to leave me alone? This seems like a cult to me but I want straight answers please. Also do they believe in Jesus Christ as Lord or what, because I've never met such rude people.

Rabbits don't chew the cud
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
Leviticus 11:6
The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof; it is unclean for you.

Deuteronomy 14:6-7
You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud. However, of those that chew the cud or that have a split hoof completely divided you may not eat the camel, the rabbit or the coney. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a split hoof; they are ceremonially unclean for you.

In Africa before slavery blacks had their own language, own religion, own beliefs and morals. When we were captured into slavery we were forced into Christianity and we were made to believe that we were animals before we accepted "Christ". How does this take away the creditablity of the Bible and its justification of its interest?

Olson, a 24-year-old St. Olaf College graduate, was found dead in the trunk of her car late Friday night. She was last seen by friends on Thursday morning, when she went to meet someone in Savage, Minn., about the job, which authorities said she had found on Craigslist.

I've never used the site but I have looked at it. It seems very generic and fake. I've heard about people setting up robberies by placing ads and prostitiution. I mean what's up with it? Just curious to know what your experience has been?
