I'm bemused - Vladimir Putin as a Christian Warrior - Do Russians see him as a fighter for Jesus?
by fulltimestudent ini accidentally came across this youtube video, "why the west fears putin.
" curious, i watched it.
you may find it interesting also.

Congratulations! What are your plans now that you're both mentally out? Do the two of you plan to fade? -

You might want to try out a proxy service if you're going to be going to Arabic websites, like Al Jazeera, or any website holding such content. That will give you maximum privacy.

Could you elaborate? I assume you're talking about jw.org in which case that doesn't happen using IE 11. or Firefox. -

Hello All!
by ihunt ini figure it's about time that i stop silently lurking around this community and actually add to the conversation, so here goes a first post.
a little about me-i was born "half-in", that is, my mother has been a witness for the entirety of my life whereas my father has never been.
i was an active part of the congregation (at least for what an unbaptized publisher can do) until i turned 18 and got an opportunity to attend a university (go school!).

How many of you actually "contributed"?
by Garrett inguys,.
don't tell the elders, buuuuut, i sorta kinda maybe never contributed money....ever..... i always thought - hey, i give a lot of my time and energy to the org, so that's how i contribute.
i was also pretty stinkin poor for most of my life and didn't really have the money to give.. anyone else like me?.

@ a watcher: "I participate on this forum to get info that I can't get from the JW's."
So the devil has more to tell you about your religion than Jehovah does?

Why do I suddenly want to start reading JW literature and going to Kingdom Halls?
by yogosans14 inis good calling me back or am i just letting my emotions get the best of me?also i really want to be closer to my jw family.
btw i was never baptized and i consider myself a born again christian i go to a baptist church and wath televangelist and i have expirenced gods presence like never before but sometimes i get fearful and think "what if jws are right and i'm wrong" than i'm screwed!but if there wrong and i'm right it doesn't look to good for them.. i would prefer if nobody posted "god isn't real" type comments.
i truly believe he is real but i respect why some are atheists..

yogosans14,
"...I get fearful and think "what if jws are right and I'm wrong" than I'm screwed!but if there wrong and I'm right it doesn't look to good for them."
This is the general attitude of fundamentalist religions whether they're Baptists of JWs; God is like a demented and harsh schoolteacher who will kill you if you don't get his doctrinal i's dotted and t's crossed. Then brutally tortured throughout eternity because you accepted the wrong teaching. Or the JW god who will simply "destroy" you forever because you did not warm up a Kingdom Hall seat.
I think you need to question both.
