i happened to be in my old town last week, i decided to drive past my old kh in n.wales,.

to my suprise there was a large 'for sale' sign hanging off it!.

this is a semi-remote area with the nearest other kh's a good 30 mins in every direction.

Whole Study Article on Commenting at Meetings

by JW_Rogue in

i guess less people are commenting now.

last week's whole wt study was dedicating to the issue of commenting.

people were literally making comments about how to comment, it was very meta (not that most there would get that), anyway the main reason that wt gave to explain away people's lack of commenting?

Blondie:

Many jws know that commenting at the meetings is voluntary (so far) and not required to get everlasting life

ha ha--love that.

Who is the Saviour?

by JW Answers in

this is for those who are interested in bible study.. the jehovah's witnesses claim that only the father is god, and thus teach he was the saviour in the old testament.

the bible teaches that god says "there is no saviour beside me".

therefore how is it, that the lord jesus christ is called the saviour of the world?.

Wouldnt ya just love it if the watchtower guys did an about turn and announce that god and jesus were one and the same.

Maybe get a few more out the door.

Refusing a blood transfusion

by BourneIdentity in

hello all, first post.

i've been lurking for months and figured it was time to post a few things, i've been pimo for the last couple of years.. i was doing some thinking about an adult refusing a blood transfusion, especially one that has several children.

when you married and had children, you signed up to take care of them, to love and protect them.

refusing a blood transfusion because of a hope of a resurrection into a paradise earth?

how many other religions have a belief in a resurrection back on earth?

in view of the fact that the watchtower has got everything else wrong--why should that be any different ?

You Deleted My Post !!!

by Simon in

apparently, some people never bother to read the posting guidelines.

there are lots of helpful things in there about what to post and what not to post which explain why posts may occasionally be removed and how to complain if you think we've made a wrong decision.. the typical reasons are they they are either harassing someone over a difference of opinion (play the ball, not the person) or are simply off topic.

a rose may be beautiful but if it's in a wheat field, it's still a weed.

It's just part of moderating the site.

are there any other moderators Simon ?

Two For One!

by snugglebunny in

back in the day - yeah, i know, most things i write start like that!

however - back in the day there was an implicit rule ratio of 2 to 1 when it came to counting time.

two witnesses witnessing to one person for one hour would count one hour each.

i recall when i was a pioneer in Birmingham..UK..in the late 60's.

i lived at home with my parents--but attended a KH in another town a few miles away,,because my girfriend was there. i had borrowed her mothers car for a few days. ( she couldnt drive )

so-- i set off from home one morning to meet up with a service group. on the way i stopped off at a house--to start my time--no one home ( thank god )..and drove off.

but there was a neighbour--who saw me--understandably thought i looked suspicious--took the car number plate--and called the police. ( there had been a number of burglaries in the area lately )

we found all this out when the police turned up at g/f's mothers house to investigate the complaint.

pity the g/f didnt dump me over this incident.

we got married a couple of years later--so her mother became my mother in law.. i learned to really hate that woman.

Is JW.Org the true religion?

by Maria Nieves in

jw.org states that they are the true religion.

i was told that it is written in the bible that jw.org is the true religion.

the following is the "alleged" evidence that was presented to me:.
