Welcome, schnell! 30 years a Watchtower Slave was the first ex-witness book I read. Don't even bother to talk to them, just ignore them and they will not care after a while.

What about your relationship with your wife? Would that be impacted?

looter,
His defining characteristic is power and domination but his main one is love.

Defining is the same as main.

Christadelphians the closest to JW?

by ab.ortega in

i am curious as to what current religion is similar in beliefs and organization to jw's.

i've only come as far as christadelphians.

are there any others you know of?.

ab, knowledgeable JWs are going to claim that other religions that have some of their doctrines did not have "the whole truth". They will also say that all the sects of Bible Students that started popping up during the Rutherford takeover are to be considered rebels to "God's organization" simply for separating themselves from it no matter if they believe in the exact same doctrines.

Spy camera wanted, motion activated, wireless, etc.

by FatFreek 2005 in

okay, it doesn't have to be a spy camera.. it must be something wireless that send signals to my android smart phone.

and some of those spy cameras seem to have fairly good features but they are also scary.

their descriptions are obviously translated from some other language and i would worry about decent customer support.. i'd simply like to be notified the moment a certain cabinet door (actually, two doors) is opened.

For a moment there I thought that it was StopTheTears that was going to convert to Islam. Whew.

In any case, Islam teaches that Jesus will return in the last days to assist the Mahdi (Muslim messiah) in his war against the Muslim boogey man who's the equivalent to the Christian Antichrist. I guess that gives you both some common ground.

What is meant by the expression

persistent spiritual association?.

Village Idiot

Persistent means continuous. Does that mean that the Watchtower allows for occasional "spiritual association"?

Someone Turned Off the InterTubes

by Simon in

just a heads-up in case we disappear too, there's a massive ddos attack happening that has knocked a lot of major sites offline:.

http://gizmodo.com/this-is-probably-why-half-the-internet-shut-down-today-1788062835.

things like this can have knock-on effects as other systems become overloaded, so far we seem ok so fingers crossed we stay that way..
