Who needs to underline something to study it?

Name "UNWRITTEN" Rules That JWs Are Supposed To Follow
by minimus inas with the scribes and pharisees, there are a number of unwritten rules that witnesses are supposed to follow.
here's a couple : "worldly" kids in society depictions are shown quite often wearing their baseball caps backwards.
jehovah's witness youths would not want to imitate that "look".

But I must to admit that's is a lot of the rules you have quoted in this topic that I never heard about here in France.
I think, some of these rules and their strictly enforcement, have more to seen with the stupid puritan prudish american way of thinking than with JW themselves.
I think some of these people act so featherbrained more because they're typically american-raised joe than because they're JW.

What would have Jesus done ?
by coalize in"everytime you want to do something think at what jesus would have done at your place".
every one already heard that once, i'm sure.. what's funny and i always dreamt to do, but never had the courage, it's to take the box where you put contributions and throw it at the ground to break it.
elders : "what are you doing?".

It is just the opinion of men, not a religion...
by punkofnice inan elder in my congo gave a talk.
he was always interesting to listen to and one of the nice guys.
(the nice elders are always targets of the bully elders, no?).

I tend to think that religion just gives people the excuse of magic to plug the gaps in knowledge or to remove fear of the unknown
One doesn't cancel the other out! ;)

Bible History
by bitsnbobs inhi all,i left the org in the late 90s.
not because of beliefs or the 1914/generation fiasco.
just thoughtlessness, hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance.

Hello bitsnbob.
You are totally right!
Bible isn't the word of God, but it's a wonderful piece of human litterature. In fact, I find the texts a lot of time more interristing since I deleted all the fairy and sacred view on it, I was taught by JW since baby!
And especially, i'm interrested in all kind of mythology and ancient history. Paradoxally that's too come from my robot-jw parents. Because my father was interrested by the egyptian civilisation.
And one of the best book I never read about how the bible is "born" is this one : The Bible unearthed by Israel Finkelstein.
