Greetings Mrs. Smith,

She told me that she doesn't acctualy believe that everyone that is not a JW will be killed at armagedon

It's amazing how if you get to engage an active JW to thinking outside the Watchtower bunk such as you've done with your mom, comments, like the above ones are made. Active JW's are not used to hearing or reasoning on behalf of their own belief system. When, as you've done, told her you cannot believe God would destroy everyone who refuses to take the Watchtower, it confounds them. I've had the same exact types of comments told to me.

I told someone recently that praying for God's (Watchower version) Kingdom to come here on earth, equals them praying for 1000 Tsunami's and 1000 Hurricane Katrina's. His reply, " Ya, I know but I don't really believe that." The point is they get so wrapped up in parroting the same things over and over again, many are unaware of just what they believe in, and what they're praying for.

IMO you did good in reasoning with your mom the way you did. Perhaps you've given her some "food for thought".

Greetings OnTheWayOut,

After reading your post, I sure do not have any advice for you. I think your approach, and the way you've reasoned with your wife is razor sharp. Keep treading carefully. You're doing great! Please keep us posted.

Can we talk? . . .

by exwitless in

hey, this is under jokes and humor, so don't get too offended.

i just wanted to vent about how people say things incorrectly, such as pronouncing things wrong or saying phrases wrong.

i'll start, and if you have any to add, please feel free.

Greetings exwitless,

I can think of two that used to really bug me.

1. "Are you going to meeting tonight?" or "I'll be at meeting tonite.", or "Will you be at meeting tonite?"

2. Another one was " Are you goin out in the service?" or " I was out in the service!"

What a bunch of dunces

my nissan sentra (2000) failed the smog test.

the "check engine" light has been on for a few months now.. i just had it checked out this morning and i was told i need to replace the air flow meter sensor.. the estimate was $400 for a rebuilt-part and $600 for a brand new one.. does this sound right?

can somebody explain to me what this part's function is?.

Greetings Sandy,

That prognosis sounds acurate to me. O2 sensors are pricey.

The Woman Who Put Faith Before Her Own Life

the basis for the watchtower society's blood doctrine is so weak - it saddens me that the the org are still letting people die over this issue.. comments at the bottom brand this poor woman selfish.

they don't realise that had the woman accepted blood, she would be shunned by rest of congregation.
