  What Is The Most Ridiculous Thing You Have Heard From A Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.

  he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.

  interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.

  1152 pages a year.

  JW's Blow Their Own Trumpet Each Month

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  w06 12/1 p. 27 par.

  11 what it means to love our neighbor - “jesus commissioned his followers to preach and to teach and to “make disciples of people of all the nations.” by our participation in this work, we show love for......... neighbor.”.

  by recording the number of hours of “love” shown to neighbours each month in their monthly report slip, aren't jw's in reality doing what christ said not to do?.

  does anyone know what it means to be "securely wrapped up in the bag of life"?

  is this a new special wt terminology?

  they said it or a slight variant of it, several times in the broadcast, perhaps 3?

  Movie-goers can be fickle (great movies that should've enjoyed huge box-office success)

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  just thought i'd start a thread about this topic.. john carpenter's the thing (1982) was a great film, one of his best imo.

  for me, it's right up there with alien (1979) as one of the greatest sci-fi horror films ever made.

  and yet one film made anything between $100 - 200 million at the box office whereas the other made only $19 million.

  My search for religion.

  by joe134cd in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  since leaving the jws i have become more interested in finding out about other faiths.

  here are a few of my findings.. lds: i just couldnt get my head around the mental gymnastics i would have to do to understand their doctrines and theology.

  i attended their services twice.

  Hi joe134cd, thanks for sharing your spiritual journey. As a Christian, my personal opinion is that when the Bible says to avoid "sects" and other similar thoughts, this applies to all denominations. Any subdivision of Christianity is in effect a sect, and as such there can be no true religion in the sense of any one denomination that 'has it'. What makes Christians different than ancient Israel is that now God deals with individuals and their personal faith. Not that it's wrong to fellowship with other Christians, even in church settings, but I don't think it should take precedence, and I'd never want to get dogmatic/set in my ways or 'go beyond the things written'. Do your best to maintain you personal autonomy, and never give your faith away to humans.

  I got back from the memorial . . .

  by neat blue dog in

  it was pretty mundane for the most part, same songs, same outline.

  the only new thing they added was the video at the end, where stephen lett speaks to the visitors and commends them for coming and recommends they go to jwdotorg and also start a bible study.

  they also showed a bar graph with figures increasing every year for jws, memorial attendance and memorial partakers.
