  What was Fullfilled in 1975?

  as we all know, the lord jehovah causes expectation to arise regarding certain dates.

  these expectations have usually resulted in the members of the organization, erroneously, expecting the apocalypse to arrive on those dates.

  1914 was such a year.

  Sister Who died Refusing Blood

  i normally do not comment on this type of subject, yet i have just been informed there may be child abuse involved for her two children at the hands of a fellow jw.

  i will investigate to find the facts, yet if this were true this family has lost much in the "spiritual paradise.

  " when i have more information i will clarify.

  question about racial demographics

  by Iris10401 in

  hello...i hope this is the proper place to pose my question.. i've been meeting with a fine jw couple for several months now and i have attended meetings with them twice at the kingdom hall.

  a large segment of the congregation were people of color and it also seems that whenever i meet a jw on the street, they are more often than not african-american.

  i was wondering if there was some explanation for this, or is just coincidence?

  Gender discrimination?

  by teejay in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  sixty minutes covered this story a month ago and meet the press brought it up again this morning when rumsfeld was interviewed.... when stationing troops in foreign countries, the u.s. military tries to abide by the rules of the country.

  in saudi arabia, the custom for women in public is that they wear an abaya, a floor-length, long-sleeve, loose-fitting garment that covers everything but the face.

  air force lt. col. martha mcsally filed a lawsuit against the pentagon, arguing that the policy was discriminatory because men are not required to dress in traditional muslim garments.. when interviewed on sixty minutes, mcsally was so offended by the garment that she would not put it on just to demonstrate what it looked like.
