My wife and I have been having a study with some Jehovah’s Witnesses (two studies now). We are both avid Church goers but figured it couldn’t hurt to have another Bible study and learn more about other Christian doctrines.
Since they knew we were avid Christians they just let us pick a topic in their book “What Does the Bible Really Teach?” We looked at the Table of Contents and picked “Where are the Dead?” From there it was a rather ‘interesting’ study that we have agreed to continue but we are at a loss as to what we should do. No matter what verses we show them that disagree with their beliefs causes them to quickly try to discredit the verse saying that we’re either reading to much into it or that we simply don’t understand it fully.
They brought up Ecclesiastest 9:5 (For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even the memory of them is forgotten.) and Genesis 2:16-17 (And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.”). They said that the dead are aware of nothing, so we can’t be in Heaven or hell because the dead aren’t aware and can’t do anything, and that once man (Adam) ate of the tree of knowledge he would surely die and become dust.
So we mentioned that we believed the death He spoke of was a spiritual death and though our body returns to dust our soul continues on. We brought up Isaiah 14:9-11 (9 The grave below is all astir to meet you at your coming; it rouses the spirits of the departed to greet you, all those who were leaders in the world; it makes them rise from their thrones, all those who were kings over the nations. They will all respond, they will say to you, “You also have become weak, as we are; you have become like us.” All your pomp has been brought down to the grave, along with the noise of your harps; maggots are spread out beneath you and worms cover you.) and 1 Peter 3:18-20 (For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water…).
We thought it was pretty cut and dry and we even had other verses ready to do; they simply told us that we were, again, reading to much into this and then brought up something about our body is made up of nerves that allows us to feel and if our body is returning to dust and we are only spirits so how can we feel anything? I mentioned that God makes everything possible and could design our souls to act without our body being able to feel and reason. After that they asked if we had noticed that most Bible’s don’t use the name of God, Jehovah, like it was used in original Greek/Hebrew Bibles and they never answered our questions after they quickly changed the topic. Each time we bring up verses like this, ones they can’t easily twist to their beliefs, they instantly find a subtle way to change the subject and never answer our questions.
How should I approach them? Any tips for dealing with them? Is it worth it? I’ve been told that they will hold to what the Watch Tower has taught them no matter how much the Bible contradicts them and there is nothing I can do. As a Christian I’m taught to spread the Word of God, but if it won’t amount anything should I give up?
Thanks in Advance!

So the contest is to describe or draw changes that are possible to make for our boring lobby and terrace. The lobby is simple with shelves to store backpacks and lunches, there’s a big TV that shows all the upcoming school events, the entrance doors are glass, and there’s one little wood table. What could I design to enhance that?
The terrace is fairly nice with wooden lunch tables with big umbrellas over them and a little garden in the middle of the rectangular terrace. What could I add or change here to make it better?
Nothing too expensive because my school won’t consider it.
Thanks for all the creative ideas!

I am planning on having a really big flower garden next year. I would like to plant some perennials, but I would want them to last for about a month, more would be better. I have already bought some gladiolis and some other different kinds of mixed bulbs, and these will bloom for about 1-3 monthes. What are some more? Any lillies or anything like that? I don’t care which type of perennial, but as long as it is nice.
Ps. I have a packet of snapdragon seeds and a packet of larkspur seeds that i didn’t get to plant this year, will they still be good for next year, so i can plant them then? Thanks in advance.

I am unmotivated by how boring my life could be at times. I want to find something that I could do in my spare time that I can enjoy doing and that it could be also an everyday thing. Example: My grandma loves gardening her flowers every afternoon.
Also, I don’t have any musical instruments with me although I used to play the piano. I like to write and I was starting a fictional fantasy story…Any other suggestions?

We’ve just bought our first house.. we’ve never really lived anywhere that we could garden or anything.. so Ive no idea where to start.. i have alot of questions and need alot of suggestions.. We live in western Oklahoma.. Theres a very large mimosa tree in front of our house, and a small garden area along the walk going to the house, which the previous owners filled with rocks.. But id like to put some plants in.. our back yard isn’t huge, but big enough, theres no trees or anything in it right now. theres a nice size Pergola sitting area, and a small barn looking tool shed. Theres not really any garden areas in the back just grass and weeds (goatheads bleh) I’d like to begin making plans for spring, so i don’t decide what plants i want when its already too late to plant them. Everything needs to be dog friendly since they will be spending the most time out there.

Where are some beautiful Outdoor venues for a summer wedding in the LaGrange or Noble County(Indiana) area? Or any place that is nearby LaGrange County Indiana or Noble County Indiana. I want something that is like a “garden” setting. I am planning on getting married summer 2010.

im planning to make a little garden on my terrace, but when i was shopping for my seeds, they were all BORING! LOL so i wanna do something different and plant some exotic fruits and veggies in my back yard. so what are some really rare/exotic fruit/berries/vegies?

It was a long instrument and had something of a circular fork shape at the end. It looked like it was used for digging. The handle seemed like a unique design as well. It seemed like you push it down with your foot and a simple twist and it helps loosen the soil. I tried googling garden tools but couldn’t come up with what I saw on t.v.
It seems like a good tool for the type of land I am on. I want to grow a garden but the dirt is mainly rock. I have a bad back and would need a good instrument for digging. Thanks in advance.
