Name something that JWs believe in that isn't in the Bible
by Awakened at Gilead inmy favorites are:.
"paradise earth": not in the bible.
"great crowd" of "other sheep" - two unrelated texts... put them together, and voila!, you just changed the destiny of millions!.

Rap music is evil. One elder read it "from the outline" like that was supposed to make it official. Granted, I don't like most of the rap that's out now. But I will not give up the stuff that I do enjoy (The Roots, Panacea, Common, etc). I just made sure not to listen to it when certain people were around.
I think I remember that outline. I went home and wrote "bible rap" about the book of genesis. I think I was about 8 years old at the time and I thought rappers were "cool". My mom said that it isn't the music that is bad it's the lyrics and she said my bible rap was pretty creative. I know some JWs that villified the whole bunch though. And now that I'm out I don't like rap anymore, oh well.

Actually two fo them, relatives no less, who are about 7 or so years older than me were eating in my workplace the other day. They did 2 or 3 double takes and then marched out the doors. Not sure if they were done eating or not as I was just coming on shift at the time.
On a visit home a youth I grew up with and her mother put their hands to the side of their faces and looked away then crossed the street so I would not see them.
I haven't really had too much contact with JWs other than that. Well..JWs who knew me which is the real question now isn't it minimus? Other JWs just treat me like a punk ass kid with weird hair that is possessed by Satan. I the mormons give me the willies too, if it wasn't for the name badges I would think they were JWs.

Is there a big conspiracy to keep you poor?
by Mindchild inwhen i was a witness, i often heard that if you left the trooth that you would become rich fast, have gratuitous sex constantly, become a drug addict and end up worshipping satan.
man am i disappointed!!
it seemed for the longest time that there was a giant conspiracy to keep me a poor working stiff just above the poverty line, especially so when i was going to college full time.

If it wasn’t the taxes, babes, or poor choices, then the cost of just getting by seemed to keep me from getting ahead.
Yes but they were your poor choices weren't they? I seem to have the opposite problem. I am currently paying full time tuition at university (plus books), rent/utilities/food/transportation, and support a 2 grand a year martial arts habit with chronic ebaying and still my savings account is growing in spite of the new computer purchased this spring. The key is not making poor choices ;p there is also enough money if you know what you want and only spend towards that.

A door to door petition of this nature was the subject of a science fair petition in my schools some years back. They got a lot of signatures, hillarious.

JWs and the Mentally Challenged
by almostbitten ini know three women from the local kh (one is a distant relative of mine) who call on my uncle for bible study.
problem is, he has alzheimer's disease--and they were told about this!!!

We had a mentally challenge guy in our hall but he was someone's grown kid don't know if that makes it different or not. He used to give talks they wrote for him but no one could really understand a word of it. He stopped going when I was in my teens even though his parents still did -- never knew why. For all I know he died or something.

How many of you believe in God, but not the Bible as His word?
by chappy inif you do believe in god but not that the bible is his word what are your core beliefs and how did you arrive at them?
even if you don't believe in the bible as the word of god, do you find it useful/helpful in your faith?
do you still adhere to any particular religion?

Can you think of non-human animals that you can say actually feel love, hate, anger or jealousy?
Really now? You don't think animals feel any emotions? Not even primates? The human-ego is at an all time high for that one.

Well I just ate at a 4 diamond restaurant, am getting my yellow belt in taekwon-do at the end of the month and am in the best shape of my life while taking an elective psychology course on my favorite subject - psychopaths. I would have to say life is pretty good and that is not even counting a well paying job with flexible scheduling, a boyfriend of nearly 3 years and my beloved cat -- or the completed honors thesis I am currently seeking to publish. I normally do not wax on about my life and hate to seem boastful but life is pretty grand and it's time I admitted that out loud!
