  Do You Believe A Person Has The Right To Die?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  or do you think that a person should continue to be made to "live" even though they are in a vegetative state?

  Letter from Bethel

  by observer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  dear brothers, .

  almost hundred years ago first publishers representing the truth of bible came to west coast of finland and that marked the beginning of emphatic preaching of good news of kingdom in this country.

  first and second generation of publishers did meritoriously their part in that work.

  How dare people lead normal lives, they should be out selling books!!!???

  Hey! Isn't there a parable about the man who sold all his belongings and went on to sell books? (or was it to wait at the end in 1975? I don't remember). Or maybe too much wine in my head...

  But anyway, how about that story of "if we don't preach the stones will preach"... or "the growth show the blessing of Jehovah (therefore it's not the merit of humans preaching)? Is "Jehovah`s hand too short"?

  Are individuals able to stall Jehovah's will? If the Almight wants to separate his sheep, can mere individuals keep it from happening?

  This show more and more that the WTS is just that: a book publishing company.

  Did anybody ever predict the end of the world for way off in the future?

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the guy that shot 11 people, killing 7, in a church in wisconsin was apparently upset over a sermon he'd heard.

  the sermon may not have been about the end of the world, but the church he attended taught that it was coming, and coincidentally, it was coming "soon".

  re: your comments under gumbys sunday school thread.

  my companion is disabled, he'd be crushed if he watched that movie!

  he fights depression all the time being disabled.. losing the use of his legs was very difficult for him.

  Unfortunately, I missed all the fun. The title in Portuguese is "It's great climax is NEAR" . "at hand" would make no sense in Portuguese (or rather, a totally different sense).

  What is the most OUTRAGEOUS thing you've ever seen an apostate do?

  by GetBusyLiving in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hey i was just wondering if some of you wouldnt mind relating some crazy stories of things that apostates have done to get attention of witnesses and break them out of the trance.

  i would think right after the 'stay alive till '75' fiasco there must have been some really pissed off and vocal people!

  i have read many fine posts here and feel for all of you who have been hurt by the witnesses.

  they are a lying, unaccountable organization - with an emphasis on the word unaccountable!
