  Has a 'Christian' ever murdered somebody?

  by goddidit in

  a jw made the claim "no christian [jw] has ever murdered anyone".. when i showed examples of such, the goalposts moved a bit with "was he a baptized, dedicated witness?".

  can anyone provide examples of murders committed by "baptized, dedicated" jws?.

  thanks.

  In Holly Michigan around 1996 one JW murdered another. He was I think 18 at the time. He is still in prison and still a JW now. There was a write up about him in the paper prob about 5 years ago. I'm sure I could find the article if I had to. I can't remember his last name at the moment.

  C of C is a very strict religion. No dancing. No booze. More struck than dubs in many respects. There are divisions among them though and some branches may be more strict than others.

  Some thoughts on the new midweek meeting

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  the new midweek meeting has been running for a month now.

  here are my thoughts on how it is going so far:.

  1) elders are looking frazzled from being on virtually every meeting and having to prepare unfamiliar formats for items.

  My take

  1. The clam is more boring (than the TMS (didn't think that was possible)

  2. Those 3 presentations every week are gonna get real old real fast

  3. Having the book study at the end makes the meeting really drag on for me.

  it seems that some co need much more $$ and in some countries they started to promote multilevel sales among their contact network.

  have you been involved in any offer of such nature?

  I would love some evidence of COs supporting MLMs. I have seen none in my area.

  this was the line my nephew gave me regarding why jws don't give alms.

  i had several rebuttals to give him, but didn't.

  i was hoping for some comments from this board.

  The Govs list is great except for 6&7. Six is an ASSHOLE move and seven is presumptuous. I would add that whenever meeting with the elders start crying and say "I can't believe I brought so much reproach on Jehovahs name".

  GTTM, Sorry you are having a hard time. The Borg puts those of us that no longer believe but who's family still does in an awful situation. There are no "good" options.
