  Organ donation?

  by xenawarrior in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know i read that at one time organ donation was something forbidden and then after a while it became a conscience matter for jw's.

  (someone correct me if i'm wrong please).

  i was watching a television show last week about a very interesting triple liver transplantation involving "live donors".

  Russell's reason for using the Winged Sun Symbol?

  by VM44 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone know why charles rusell put the "winged egyptian sun disc" symbol on the covers of his studies in the scriptures?.

  particularly, did russell ever explain in writing the reason for his using it?.

  this is a good article, but does not indicate if russell wrote anything in print specifically about the symbol's use on the book covers.. http://www.premier1.net/~raines/disc.html

  Which One Lie Hurt You The Most About Jehovahs Witnesses?

  by shamus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  which one teaching really hurt you when you found out that it was not true?

  my number one thing is finding out that the name "jehovah" was not in the bible like it was in the new world translation (tm).

  christians did not call god "jehover" "jehovah" or by his first name, no more than you would call your father by his first name when you were a child.

  Theocratic Ministry School

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the tms had always somewhat intrigued me when i was a jw.

  it was actually a fascinating part of the thursday night meeting.

  you never graduated, your grades didn't range from a to f, and it was mandatory to applaud after a new "classmate" gives their first talk.

  What Is The Stupidest Rule You've Encountered As a Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one rule that i never could understand is that if you were studying with an unbelieving husband, you could associate with him, even as couples, but if a person was considered a "weak" witness, it was best to avoid any association until that person changed......what dumb rule or belief comes to your mind??

  Whats wrong with windows?

  by Strawberryfieldsforever in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was wondering why all the newly built kingdom halls don't have windows anymore!

  i remember going to the hall in the 70's and we had lots of windows.

  then they started building them without.
