  If Jesus died so Christians can be saved......

  by DevonMcBride in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  than why aren't there "thank you's" going out to those responsible for his death?

  obviously god pre-planned the crucifixion and resurrection.

  so those that killed him were following god's plan.. devon

  I've always wondered....

  the witnesses portray jesus and all of the diciples with short hair...."the world" portrays them with long.

  is this just a ploy to back their viewpoints on being clean cut and clean shaven?.

  just curious.

  i am just wondering if any of you have lost family members that you were really close to by leaving "the organization"?

  how did you deal with it?.

  right now i am neither disfellowshipped nor disassociated but considered inactive.

  Achieving Salvation

  2. friends

  the other night, i had a couple of pastors over to try to answer some questions i had.

  they came prepared to "save me" and even tried to do so.

  tonight i bought a book that mentioned being saved by accepting the work of christ and asking jesus to save me.

  JW Urban Legends

  i was once told that john denver (folk singer of songs like rocky mountain high and such) was on the tonight show one night.

  he was a huge patriot and apparently had no love whatsoever for jw's.

  apparently as the story goes, john gets up to sing a patriotic song and before he begins tells the audience "if there are any jehovah witnesses in the audience, you may want to leave right now.

  JW &Your Health

  by desib77 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, i guess this will be my first official question for all of you.....does the stress of the jw religon stemming from a background in it affect anyones health?.

  this may seems silly but just thinking about it and other religious options stresses me out.

  right now, just from thinking about this for an hour or so, i have a huge headache and am very tense and a little bit shaky.

  A question for former pioneers.

  by JV in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  everytime you go to an assembly or to a convention or the co pays a visit, there's always a call for people to pioneer.

  they always drag out a couple of pioneers on to the stage and "interview" them.

  the one question they always ask is if the pioneers have any regrets over pioneering.

  Kingdom Hall Spankings

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most meetings i went to, children were brought to the washrooms in the back to be disciplined.

  often i could hear a child yell or cry due to the spanking given by the parent.

  people in the hall would have that look on their face meaning that it was alright to discipline a child by spanking him.
