  is there a god somewhere?.

  if you were raised on an island completely isolated from outside influence of man.......would you ask these questions above?

  I think there would still be questions - but not necessarily as developed. Who knows?

  However, I like the way the Greeks perceived the world. Although they are often disregarded as being polytheists (and they were), it was a different perception of God, and it was logical. They recognized the "god" of the sea -- meaning that you have to respect the power and danger of the sea. The origin, I think, was a healthy fear and respect of nature. If you can't scientifically explain things, then it makes sense to just recognize them as strong forces that must be feared and respected. That is the foundation. From there, you get, "how can we make the forces stop?" ... Perhaps by pleasing them? Offering gifts? The "forces" grow to be perceived as sentient. And it all develops from there.

  Those are just my thoughts ...

  Apostates are very disappointing. I just found the WTS is true about them.

  by reason in

  2. beliefs

  your conduct, attitude, manner of speech, avatar, all of these shows what sort of hearts you people have.

  i can't feel the holy spirit operating in you people.

  the first time i exposed myself to apostates, i was imagining matured people, more matured than the jw's.

  *** w74 8/1 pp.

  466-473 maintaining a balanced viewpoint toward disfellowshiped ones *** .

  13:1, 7.. 18 family members can carry out these scriptural obligations and yet not show themselves out of harmony with a congregational action disfellowshiping one of the family circle.

  As to disfellowshiped family members (not minor sons or daughters) living outside the home, each family must decide to what extent they will have association with such ones. This is not something that the congregational elders can decide for them .

  I am going to print this out and save it...

  Thanks, Englishman.

  Awww that is so sad. I agree... sounds like the mother is negligent at best.

  I've heard the horror stories of kids drowning in mud puddles or buckets of water... it is scary!

  once again, for the sake of a research project, i am looking for any journal articles focusing on or discussing jws.

  specifically, i am interested in sociological/psychological perspectives -- anything communication related would be especially helpful (e.g.

  rhetorical criticism, organizational critiques).

  Hello!

  Once again, for the sake of a research project, I am looking for any journal articles focusing on or discussing JWs. Specifically, I am interested in sociological/psychological perspectives -- anything communication related would be especially helpful (e.g. rhetorical criticism, organizational critiques). I am doing the regular ole search for full text articles through my university's website, but they only cover the major journals. I'm guessing there are other articles that have slipped under my research radar. Any help would, as always, be much appreciated.
