as some of you may know my ex wife has been studying with the witnesses, and has allways had a soft spot for the wt teaching of neutrality in wartime.

ive been sending her information from this site with issues i feel are important such as silent lambs, blood,the two witness issue and shunning.

anyway she has been useing the information to ask questions one elder after reading information from here said that he shouldnt be reading apostate literature.

The ex is going to another religious convention this weekend a group called the Coonites who dont beleive the trinity and wear old fashoned clothes. I just wonder where she will end up. Barry

some here are viewed as full-fledged "apostates".

others are "weak" and curious.

what about you?

barry

Ive been accused of being a Brinsmead and a fordite in my own religion we dont have apostates. So im thinking of getting into the JW religion just so I can get an apostate recongnition. Barry

The Watchtower is Pagan - Not Us!

by nonjwalltheway in

the jw's say anything that is a threat to their religion to be of pagan origin.

anything that detracts the brainwashed "little flock" away from studying their watchtower magazines is considered to be of pagan origin.

they even have something on the official watchtower website about cross country skiing and its pagan origins.

Beleiving in a god is pagan does that mean we shouldnt beleive in god. Barry

Pelagian was a Irish or Scottish monk who beleived we could be perfect if we followed the example of Christ her on earth. It was said Pelagans mind was befuddled by too much porridge because of this beleif. Barry

Keeping it in perspective

by Torn in

i've just joined up to silentlambs.

basically i still consider myself a jw, although i'm no longer active.

i do frequent the odd sunday meeting tho, as i still consider 95% of it to be the truth.

Keeping it in perspective is a good title. Tom Im an Adventist just to be brief Adventists dont beleive in hellfire, the immortality of the soul or that heaven is the final place of man. In fact all witness beleifs are held by christendom the beleif in 1914 is in principle is borrowed from the adventist beleife in 1844. The Arian beleif was borrowed from Arias from the 4th century. Some Adventists are Arian but most beleive the trinity doctrine. Its often said here that the trinity is pagan where did Arias get his model from? Read up about Greek thought you will find the Greek beleifs the same as Arianism. Barry

given a roasting for our daughters behaviour!

by Bosho in

i'm not sure if i'm posting in the correct section but i had to put this somewhere just to let off some steam.. i have a beautiful little girl, she's just two and a half but she's tall, so she looks more like a four year old.

we live in a flat and have no access to a garden, the lady who lives underneath us is a nightworker, so we have to try and keep the noise down through the day.

which means that my poor daughter doesn't get the chance to run off steam.

barry

Dear Bosho, What is there at the KH for children? most churches have programs for every age group and they enjoy it. Have a look around at these and choose one. Barry
