  do other religions change doctrines like the wt society does?

  by sowhatnow in

  i just wondered.

  i mean ok, the catholic church seems to make 'adjustments' more or less , by accepting previously held prejudices.

  against certain things, like gays, or birth control, or rather tolerate it more, but is that a genuine change of doctrine?.

  How could you justify that God killed all firstborn children in Egypt?

  was it necessary for god to kill all innocent firstborn children?

  no other way out for the almighty god?.

  well, then, i suppose it has happened to other faiths, but certainly not to the extent and obvious way the wt org does.

  apparently then what the wt org has is the new light of changing thier minds.

  and walking on jello, hmm that sounds like fun

  thanks for the input all.

  How did you feel when you got baptised? Seriously....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so recently, several over-righteous ones in the cong were discussing "how amazing it felt when they got baptised".

  statements like "how awesome did it feel as you got raised back out of the water?!".

  or the classic "i felt so close to jehovah as i came out of the pool"!.

  nothing, there was only three that day getting dunked , me my husband and someone in a wheelchair.

  i hated getting all wet and looking stupid with a swim cap on so as not to ruin my hair.

  my husband stopped going about two years after he got baptised anyway.

  im sure he felt nothing as well

  even though the catholic church clearly has its own unbiblical teachings, it seems like not much has changed ,

  at least that Im aware of, being a housewife with no cable tv, lol.

  Lets list everything that has pagan origins!!

  by song19 in

  i have a feeling i am going to have to explain to my jw folks why i have decided to allow my children to participate in holidays at school.

  theyll probably be wondering too why i will get together with our non jw family for the holidays.. .

  we know jws avoid holidays because of their pagan origins.
