the one similarity between the two beliefs is that in both cases "hades" is considered to be a literal place.. the truth of the matter is that neither the watchtower society or christendom has a correct understanding of the terms "hades".

does not like criticism:

"Do you need me to hold your hand while you do that, so as to make sure you look up the right word ("hades")? Frankly, it looks to me as if you paid little attention during all those 20 years you claim to have spent in association with the WTS. I mean, how in hades does a person go to the meetings at the Kingdom Hall for 20 years without being aware that the WTS says hades is a place in the ground?"

"I'm presently teaching at university level, but it's only for this academic year.

I'm depressed at the moment about my work situation because I had a rough month of job interviews that didn't lead anywhere"

umm - your posts make u seem damn smart - u probably have already finished your dissertation and will soon hold the "dr." title (and likely well deserved) - so keep your head up - i'm sure you'll get a job of your chosing soon enough - and, if not, you'll add a great deal to the bread line

How do you feel about people on government assistence?

by free2beme in

for a long time, before working with people in this situation, i would have answered this question with .... "i feel for them and i know how degrading it must be, to come to this point in their life to have to depend on the government to sustain them" .

... once i got up close and personal with these people, i have learned that my answer only applies to a small group of those on government assistance.

well from my experience, those on government assistance are more often about taking advantage of the system, then they are about actually being in need of help.

The most vilified form of welfare is Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC)

afdc no longer exists -it is called TANF

Why do ex-JWs try so hard to uncover WTS dirt?

by Lady Lee in

far too many times i have heard the accusation that all x-jws want to do is tear down the wts.

we scrounge around digging up every piece of information that we can that will put the wts in a bad light.

"they" being those who seek to defend the wts and forget the past because ... well it is the past and there is so much "new light".
