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.

Sharia Law in the US, it's coming folks.
by James Mixon inmy 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.

Why ex-JW's so knowledgeable when it comes to the Bible?
by James Mixon inover 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.

Spanish-Language mosque is welcoming Latino converts.
by James Mixon inthe 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.

YMCA?
by LifesNotOver inmy 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).

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 inlet'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
by Darryl ini 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.
