i clicked the blue link ( praise put up ) and it takes me to a page that tries to force me to fill out a survey before I can watch it. My malwarebytes identifies it as a malicious site .
I have my suspicions about that too. I don't trust it.
watchin the season premier of south park, something i don't normally do but just happened to catch and glad i did.
they totally had two jw women go to one of the characters "butters" house and gave him a magazine about some sort of destruction scene that was on the cover representing armageddon.
yet again showing that the ancient pagen name of hovah they worship really does live up to the name defined as ruin according to strongs 1943. wife and i laughed our butts off... even the world knows how the "wbtsociety" is so fear focused on destruction rather than the real love that our savior said should be our true walk and focus... .

grappling with conscience .
a must read, i wept by the rivers of babylon,a prisoner of conscience in a time of war, is an important self-portrait of a naive young man, terry walstrom, who in 1967 thought he was obeying his conscience when he refused to take up arms and kill.
inasmuch as he was a conscientious objector, walstrom could have availed himself of noncombatant service in the military, but he was opposed to that arrangement.
Good luck with your book, Terry. Your consistently well thought out posts here make me confident that your book is entertaining, enlightening, and well written. You are one of my favorite posters, and I wish you much success. I'm sure it will help many people.
last night thought i would do some channeling to you!.
what is your divine insight?.
Thanks for the tip, sarasmile.
i am not a jw.
i am basically here for two reasons:.
1. i am not satisfied with mainstream christianity and i believe that jw (along with other sects) have some things to offer in terms of answering my questions.
By the way, I had the same choice myself recently. I could have had a tooth filled, but was advised that if I didn't have it removed now because of the depth of the decay then the tooth next to it was at severe risk. I chose immediate extraction, and I'm glad I did.

This has to be one of the most asinine questions I've ever seen here. I have an uncle who died from an infected tooth. Do whatever is necessary to ensure good dental health, and if that includes extractions then so be it. This idea of interpreting the Bible in this way is one of the things that makes me cringe. Trust your dentist because they know what's best for you.
anybody on this forum ever seen a ufo?.
i mean not ontv or youtube.

I used to go out of town to get away from light pollution to watch the sky when I was younger. One clear night I saw a rapidly moving bright light climbing in the eastern sky moving west, directly toward me. It was much brighter and larger than any star and moved much faster than a satellite or commercial jet. Then its light pulsed several times, going from very shiny to a dull gray and then made an instant 90 degree turn to the south. After going a short distance to the south it simply disappeared.
how many here are (a) ex-jw, (b) non-jw with jw relatives or spouses, (c) inactive jw, or (d) active jw who stay in for your own reasons?.
e) Non-JW with no friends or family in.
well, according to our pontiff in residence alan f anyway.
what is this some kind of promotion?
after all, i used to used to be an unreformed apologist troll.
So that GB position is no longer in the cards, slimboyfat?
a few days ago, a detachment of the chinese navy started a visit to the us navy base at pearl harbour.. here's a few piks:.
us marine band perform to welcome the chinese fleet at the pearl harbor in hawaii, the united states, sept. 6, 2013. a naval fleet of the chinese people's liberation army (pla), which is comprised of the missile destroyer qingdao, missile frigate linyi and supply ship hongzehu, arrived at the pearl harbor on friday to start a three-day friendly visit, after which it will participate in a search-and-rescue exercise with the u.s. navy.

"US marine band perform to welcome the Chinese fleet at the Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, the United States, Sept. 6, 2013."
Ummm...excuse me. Those aren't Marines playing, they are sailors.
yup, there were 3 of them camped out in front of the store with their display of materials - first time i've seen them there.
he said he converted 5 years ago from the presbyterians, and that he had learned more in 1 year with the jws than all his time with the presbyterians (the usual stuff, jesus died on a stake, paradise earth, etc).
he claimed he didn't know about the invisible return of jesus, he was dismissive of the impact of disfellowshipping and that people can leave with little consequence, he claimed that the romans didn't use a cross until 200 years after jesus died on the stake.
When does this idea of impending Armageddon get introduced to people who study with them? Is that part of the "meat" doctrine?
