  Sharia Law in the US, it's coming folks.

  by James Mixon in

  my question, why would one immigrate to the west and refuse to adopt the western cultural?.

  if you believe our way of life is so degenerated why bring your family to this place.. in a very close 5-4 vote, the city of irving ruled to back the texas state bill banning foreign.

  law from the state.

  Prologos, Jews also live in entire neighborhoods. Their traditions are supposedly founded on the Old Testament (And we know what that's about).

  Also, your claim that they're invaders implies that they were actually organized for the purpose of taking over those countries. That's absurd; all they're doing is fleeing from their countries. Whether they merit being there is another issue.

  In any case, I know that it's an authoritarian religion but all three of the 'Abrahamic' faiths are. Let them follow their traditions as long as it doesn't impact non-Muslims and those Muslims who don't want to abide by them.

  Jews are allowed to use their traditions in areas of family laws such as divorce. That's the same thing that some Muslims want. It is known as family sharia. It's completely harmless and voluntary even amongst Muslims.

  Why ex-JW's so knowledgeable when it comes to the Bible?

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  over the years here on this site i have found over half of the folks can hold their own with any minister.. why when we leave the borg we become proficient on any subject on the bible.. why did we go down that road?

  my intention was to get close to jehovah (searching the bible), but i. guess i found lucifer.

  i'am ask all the time, how did you go from a true believer to calling the bible a book.

  To the extent that we had any curiosity as a Witness we were liberated from a religion that stifles it. We became free to learn about anything. Besides, it doesn't take much learning to beat a JW.

  If I were to develop brain damage and sado-masochism and then return to the meetings I would have to rate them as -10.

  Spanish-Language mosque is welcoming Latino converts.

  by James Mixon in

  2. beliefs

  the associated press by allan turner.. this is a interesting turn of events, people grounded in catholicism i'am surprised.. latinos now comprise almost 40 percent of the population in texas and 20 percent in the.

  u.s. pew reports that almost 1 in 4 identify themselves as former catholics.

  second half of the century, islam is projected to become the world's dominant religion.. now, with the opening early this year of centro islamico, texas'-and possibly the nation's-only.

  my husband's gone to his meeting and i'm catching up with folks here on our forum.

  i'm sure i'm having a better time :) anyway, was just following some posts regarding the un and there happened to be a copy of a magazine article stating brothers wouldn't want to be joining the "y" because it was "christian".

  i think this was back in the 1950's (maybe not).

  anyone else also hold this view or understand it at least, or do you feel the need to argue that both can in no way coexist?.

  Crabby,
  

  So kid it never occurred to your little intellect that we are already planning a move to another planet, and there are already people who have volunteered to make the move.

  Except for some visionaries that have advocated for human colonization we're not planning anything. Those who are currently waiting for such a trip will be disappointed within their lifespan.

  PS: Don't get so crabby.

  Complaining over post dislikes / downvotes

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  let's be clear: people have the right to like or dislike what they want - that is why the option is there.

  as long as they are not doing it in a malicious way to retaliate or game the system, there is no policing the votes.

  if you get a down-vote, live with it.

  Slightly off topic; I don't believe that votes should be visible on the main page because it may deter some from participating in what may otherwise be a fruitful topic. Some topics with merit might get little to no votes either way and some might be dissuaded to click on them because they misjudge the topic to have little interest.

  Poor Sisters

  i really felt for you sisters i mean i really did.

  when you showed up at the sunday meeting and found out the subject of the talk was going to be -and i can't quite remember the exact wording- but something to the effect of marriage and headship, or honoring and obeying your husband, or something like that how many of you wanted to jump right back in your car and head home.

  i mean 45 straight minutes of beating down you poor ladies and telling you that you are not worthy of making one decision, taking the lead in anything, don't question the man be obedient and keep quiet.

  What do you expect from a religion, i.e. Christianity, that says:

  • Women should shut up in church: 1 Corinthians 14:34-35.

  • Women should wear a head covering on their heads in church: 1 Corinthians 11:3-6.

  • Women should not teach men: 1 Timothy 2:11-15.
