  What Is Your View Toward Religions & "Religious" People?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my take on religions in general is that they all either give hope or some type of contentment for the person who takes their religion seriously.

  if they're good, they go to heaven or to some better condition.

  some religions are more radical than others and these types, i stay away from.. regarding those that are very religious, i'm generalizing here, but i think most of them are extremists in one way or another.

  Religions are all the same. There's no need for them; humans are conditioned to believe it is necessary while reality shows you otherwise. Religion gets a lot of credit for things when it shouldn't. That allows people to give less credit to themselves then deserved, which only feeds the artificial need for religion! Cirlces.....

  Religious people-to each their own. Really, I don't care. I can be friends with you regardless of your personal beliefs.

  Judgments and preaching to me (after I tell you no, thanks) will get you politely told off, though.

  while i was in new york i walked by two men and one looked like the comedian jackie mason whom i adore.

  i looked at him and said, "i just wanted to say how much i enjoy your shows.

  i've seen you perform a number of times".

  JW Fired for Refusing to Sing Happy Birthday

  by Kenneson in

  in mesquite, texas, sabrina ballantine says she was fired from razzoo's for refusing to sing happy birthday.

  she is a jw, who does not believe in celebrating birthdays and singing this song.. "razzoo's settles lawsuit over religious firing.".

  Not something I would fire anyone for, but to each its own. I don't have time to read the article right this second, but if it is an 'at will' employment, then they can fire her for that as they did.

  Jehovah will take care of her, so WHY initiate a lawsuit?! I thought jw's weren't supposed to be court-happy?! Liars (no surprise).

  What told you that no holy spirit was moving the BOE?

  by Crumpet in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i've read on and off here of various things that told people that god's spirit was not directing the organisation.. personally for me on the last time i got dfed it was the fact that i got reinstated by a meeting of the boe at the exact same moment i was smoking my first cigarettes in 7 months.

  i didnt question it exactly but it did seem odd.

  i mean i had no idea that they were discussing my reinstatement at that moment that i succumbed and had decided in my favour.

  I knew elders. If HS was responsible for their appointment AND for keeping them on---then I KNEW that something wasn't kosher. Some elders were basically good men. Others though, sucked.

  HS? Our HS?

  I really thought about 607's validity and no one could prove it to me without circular reasoning. It made NO sense!!

  no matter if you are tired,sick,worked late,heavy snow,or any other reason,you were never to miss the meetings.

  i went to a 2 day assembly with 4 teeth pulled the day before.

  my gums were bleeding all day but i still went to the assembly .there was a brother who was in a bad car accident the week before with his daughter in a coma.

  I had a fight with my nonbelieving worldy husband about what who he was doing behind my back, felt like crap, and still went with bloodshot eyes because I thought he'd change if I kept strong in the truth. That only made me feel worse, though.

  There was a blizzard one weekend, and I still took my 20 month old daughter (just getting over a cold) out to the meeting. The kh was in the CITY I lived in at the time, where there is only street parking, and never close, yet you have to drive there if you don't want to get robbed. I was 9 months pregnant at the time, too. (Anyone know Irvington?)

  I was nursing my 2 week old son, yet still broke my sleep-feed cycle to attend the meeting. Baby slept and momma was beat, but made it to the meeting!

  i was just thinking.

  in all my years of being in-active, i've had more visits from spirits, or demons if you prefer, than the elders.

  Atheists for Jehovah

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are hundreds or thousands of websites on jehovah's witnesses with all sorts of slants, but i have never come across any specifically for atheist jehovah's witnesses.

  has anyone ever seen a site for atheist witnesses?

  i think it would be a great idea, and we could call it atheists for jehovah, as a counterpart to the atheists for jesus.

  I can't stand that Jehovah character! I'm very much against abusive, manipulative relationships.

  I think the universe is big enough to allow a small corner for atheists for Jehovah - as I don't think there will be many takers - lol

  LOL!

  Check out humanists, slim. That's what we are.
