by shotgun in

2. beliefs
someone posted that the wt should discard the calendar and the days of the week as pagan because of their origins.

actually they did and tried to replace it with their own.

didn't last but it shows the mindset of those who were telling everyone god was directing them at the time and still today.

Apostate organizations, will they take down the religion?
by spiritwalker in
1. jw
2. friends
one of the main themes i have noticed to former jehovah?s witnesses boards, is the mentioning of apostate jehovah?s witness organizations and publications.

while i realize the reason behind these organizations, i also see them as far less powerful then many would like to think.

not that their efforts are wasted, as i know many take a lot of passion and time to their work.

I may be trying out a new church....
by Eyebrow2 in
1. jw
2. friends
my husband is agnostic, and i really have not been able to find a religion that i am comfortable with.

the last year or so i have really been missing having something community based and a wee bit spiritual to belong to, especially since moving to texas, where i know just a few people and oh my god...everyone down here seems to go to church.

an organization that does not make me feel like i have to look at others and view them as bad becasuse they dont believe as i do.. my husband and i have been joking that we needed to find a church of irreverence...but then i started re reading the uniterian universalist posts, and checked out the local website.
