  Anyone go on a cruise?

  by NewYork44M in

  just finished a 7-day cruise from nyc on norwegian cruise line (ncl- gem).

  this is my first cruise in 30 years, so my past experience does not count.. overall, a great experience.

  ncl does a great job.

  We did the exact same cruise you did but with the NCL Breakaway. We had a balcony room, which is a must in my opinion you can't beat sunrise and sunset from your room.

  I will probably do one more to Bermuda but overall it's not my thing. Wherever you go you take your own crowd of people. Rooms and bathrooms are like a camper, hallways to rooms are cramped, dining area is cramped, pool on boat is small, sun bathing is cramped, I know space is limited.

  All-inclusive vacations are way better in my opinion. I like to get the traveling part done and enjoy the destination, cruising makes you feel like you never get done traveling.

  Columbus Circle monument could be next statue to go

  christopher columbus could be next on the monuments chopping block.. the 76-foot structure honoring the explorer at columbus circle should be among the statues reviewed by the city for potential purging, city council speaker melissa mark-viverito said on monday.. http://nypost.com/2017/08/21/columbus-circle-monument-could-be-next-statue-to-go/.

  if this goes on, these people are just validating what the orange one said, where will it stop?

  how will people 200 years from now look back on us?

  We need to replace that horrible American flag!!

  It was flying over this country when a lot of bad shit was happening.

  Slavery stuff, Indian stuff, women rights stuff, gay rights stuff.
  

  Git rid of it !!!!!! Any Ideas for a replacement ?

  Maybe the rainbow or black power flag?

  New Cringe Worthy Music Video From July Broadcast

  by JW_Rogue in

  2. experiences

  the song is supposedly about marveling at god's creation but instead includes over the top adoration of the elders, conventions, and family worship.

  lol getting a brother who sounds like a wannabe josh groban only adds to the cheesiness.

  i just phoned my cousin who's never been a jw.

  last week she went with her son-in-law and my jw sister for a meal after planting a tree at her daughter's grave.

  she said when my sister was dropped off at her house her husband said you do know she can't have toast.

  How do you feel about the expression "The Truth"?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it's amazing how the expression "the truth" has become such an ingrained term used by witnesses.. "we have 'the truth'".

  "is he 'in the truth'?".

  most here have found out so many facts about the organisation, and felt the effects of being "gut-punched" as we realised these facts.. so how do you feel about the expression "the truth" now?.

  When talking to family I call the "truth" the Watchtower printing company.
  

  The term automatically condemns the other person, if they respond using the loaded language and say no.

  What Is "The Way"?
  

  1. Jesus Christ said He is "the way" to the Father.
  

  "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me'" (John 14:6).
  

  2. "The way" God has called us to is challenging. It is not just a hobby, but a total way of life.
  

  "Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it" (Matthew 7:14).
  

  3. "The Way" became a title for followers of Jesus—the name of their belief before the term "Christian" was used.
  

  "And asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem" (Acts 9:2; see Acts 11:26 for the first reference to Christians).
  

  The Nelson Study Bible says, "Originally, the church called themselves 'The Way.' But later they began to refer to themselves as Christians, despite the fact that the name most likely was originally used to ridicule the believers."

  For me this knowledge kind of blunted my disdain for the term "the truth".

  Jehovah's Witnesses ARE Christians, why do so many ex JW's deny this?

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses accept jesus as christ, the son of god.

  they try, in their own way, to live by his teachings and imitate him.

  they pray, read the bible and meet together regularly for worship.. i won't minimise any of the harm and damage they cause but for the life of me, i can't see how anyone can credibly deny that they are christians.. why do so many former jws have a problem with this?

  Very simple, Jehovah Witnesses are not born again therefore they are not Christians.

  Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."

  Using the term "Watchtower" when talking to a JW

  by Sanchy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone else noticed how alarm bells go off inside a jw mind as soon as they hear someone that "is out" refer to the leaders of this org as "watchtower"?

  i've chatted with a few friends now about my doubts and each and every time i've started using phrases such as "watchtower said this" or "watchtower did that", i can almost see their heads about to explode in anger, as if they've just realized they are talking to the lucifer himself.

  some have even interrupted and corrected me by reminding me that it's not "watchtower", it's "god's organization".

  I like to use the phrase "the printing company" this usually creates interesting reactions.
