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!

I know it’s very early but this christmas I’m getting organised and so I know what everyone is getting. I’m doing a hamper of vegetable gardening related stuff as a present but I have no idea about any form of gardening. I’m thinking some seeds or whatever it is vegetables grow from, and maybe some tools. Anybody have any ideas??

My friends are planning a trip to bush gardens and I am invited. I really want to go but I know my parents will not let me. I am 18 so I think I can handle a weekend on my own. How do I convince them to let me go.

I’m going to make fliers advertising for me to do odd jobs for people, SO i need someone talented to design the fliers for me
The best flier gets 10 points
Ideas of jobs i’ll be doing:
(dog walking/watching, yard/garden work, babysitting/children’s trips (to park, etc,), cleaning, tutoring (on educational subjects or on other subjects like computers, etc), and any other jobs u can think of that i could offer/that they could ask for.
Here’s what i need por favor:
Can be any medium (or media) (i would not suggest sculpture lol), any style, any feel to it, but it must
1) Most important, be attention grabbing. Any way possible, given second requirement
2) Look/make me look professional/competent
3) Be persuasive as to y i deserve and/or would be great for the job(s)
4) Have my name, basic services and contact info somewhere easy to read on the flier
5) Say something about the jobs being done by appointment, tho spur-of-the-moment jobs may also be accepted (depending on my situation at the time)
5) Could possibly say something about prices being cheap and/or flexible, or about a red cross babysitter’s class i’ve taken, my current service with special ed kids, pending volunteering at the spca, etc.
Other important info:
I’m 16, female, white, in high school, etc. May or may not be used for the flier, but might be good for u to know, idk.
Phone: 603-545-**** (cell) or 603-225-**** (home). (i’ll add in the last 4 numbers on my own, for privacy and everything, sry.)
Email: Clark30@writesoon.com
Any other info u need to know, email ^ that address and i’ll add it to the q details (i’ll be leaving the mail account open and checking it about every hour).
thanks for all ur help! good lucks!

I have a degree in Business Management/Marketing, but hate sitting in an office all day. I also sold media. The job was very lucrative and I functioned well in that capacity, however it was to much pressure and I was never home (family is important to me.) I went to school for teaching, but after a year I decided that the job market and salary would not meet my needs. I am very artistic. I love to draw, read, write, decorate my home and bake. I enjoy helping and taking care of others when they are sick or listening when they need advice. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and although I know nothing about automobiles, I have no problem opening up the hood and trying to figure out what is going on (my husband does not appreciate this). I really like to garden and plant flowers. I get bored easily and enjoy variety. Unfortunately, most of the jobs that I would like do not pay very well. Most people do not understand why I would rather make $5/hr deliveri

The serpent, who dies and is resurrected, shedding its
skin and renewing its life, is the lord of the central tree, where time and
etemity come together. He is the primary god, actually, in the Garden of
Eden. Yahweh, the one who walks there in the cool of the evening, is just
a visitor. The Garden is the serpent’s place. It is an old, old story. We
have Sumerian seals from as early as 3500 B.C. showing the serpent
and the tree and the goddess, with the goddess giving the fruit of life to a
visiting male. The old mythology of the goddess is right there. {Joseph Campell}

I have frogs in my back garden. No pond or anything in nearby gardens. They are just there and scare the life out of me. I keep accidentially mowing them and have to ask my dad to come and clear them. Its really upsetting me. Any solutions to keeping frogs out of the gardens. I’m becoming a serial killer and dont like it

My partner and I have recently started renting our own place, we discussed having someone move in, and his mate decided it was time he moved out of home and asked to move in with us.
His mate doesn’t know how to cook, so the day he moved in we set out the rules.
- I will cook dinner and work lunches (as I don’t work)
- My partner and him are to take turns washing dishes, putting them away and taking the rubbish out
- Everyone is to clean up after themselves
- For the first week I will do his washing, but after that I will teach him how to use the washing machine and he will wash, hang out and put it away himself
- Downstairs (where all there project car’s are) is to be kept tidy, no glass, nails, screws, tools etc to be left on the floor as I do have to go down there to do washing
- Bedrooms are to be kept neat and tidy, personal items to be kept in the bedroom (laptops, phones etc) as my young nephew and my partners family comes over and I don’t want any property broken
- Bathroom, loungeroom and kitchen are to be kept clean, I do the vacumming, mopping, etc
- Lawn’s are maintained by the two boys, Garden’s are maintained by me
There’s a few other general rules but nothing major really, but the last week he’s been there all the rule’s have been ignored. I cook dinner every night, my partner does the dishes and when it comes time to put them away the the rubbish to be taken out i’m ignored… and I have to remind him usually 2-5 times and it STILL doesn’t get done. So i’ve started to get extremely irritated, i’ve told my partner i’m refusing to cook and clean until he begins to aknowledge that he has commitments to this household too.
I can understand this is his first time out of home, and he pay’s his rent on time, but he never cleans up after himself, there are cups and can’s and plates constantly left out on the coffee table, and his laptop left lying around on the floor.
I don’t know if it’s just me being picky, or if he has a problem with helping. I need some help as to what I should do about him, or if perhaps I have the problem?
