In Knoxville Tennessee, the old Kingdom Hall will become a funeral home!

which i find quite appropriate!.

the plan commission is reviewing all of the 1976 zoning ordinances to recommend necessary changes.

it recommended this change now because dale and connie jacobs, knoxville, the owners of funeral solutions, want to buy the jehovah's witnesses kingdom hall, 809 e. main st., to open a funeral home.

My father will lose his privileges if he attends my sister's wedding

my sister is planning on getting married within the next few months.her jw husband committed adultery and left her when their son was 7 weeks old.after getting a scriptural divorce she began a friendship with a "worldly" man and now this friendship has grown to a soon-to-be marriage.

this man studied with the jw's for a while but could see right through them found too many of their teachings didn't make sense so he stopped studying.he's made his stand with my sister and told her she can still attend meetings if she wants to.he's also a good worker and seems to really love the kids.he's not perfect but no worse than many jw husbands.

anyways,the elders pulled my dad aside on tuesday night and told him he could(could????!@#*?

I hope he'll change his mind and put her first.

Ok so you left the idea of God - what would it take to come back?

by Qcmbr in

one point that has played many times on my mind (and is fairly central to my world view) is that if god exists its up to him to prove it.

what would it take for you to accept god?

starters for ten: .

Seeing and hearing 'it' personally. Not in the form of a near death experience or a person's teachings, but actual first hand knowledge as proof to myself.

yep that's right.... the baby boy is here!

we went for a no-stess and fluid test yesterday, and as luck would have it, there was stress and no fluid.

he's 5 weeks early but he had to come out.

I hate living with effing psycho parents

i have a mom who would rather me not go to college, keep me locked up in the house, and just serve jehovah.

i have a weak dad, instead of her being subjected to him, he's subjected to her.

he's on my side on most of the part but he's just weak on setting her straight.

I want to go to college and I don't have the money. I need them.

Do you think they'll actually pay for your college when she doesn't want you to go? Or will living with them allow you to pay for it? There's nothing wrong with college, so I hope you can go.

What made YOU drop Christianity?

by GetBusyLiving in

after i read coc and left the dubs for a short while i considered myself christian.

the way franz explained it, all that is required is to have faith in jesus and to love your neighbor as yourself and then you will be 'saved'.

the more i started pealing away at the onion though the dumber the premise of someone dying for my 'sins' seemed, and i just lost faith in it altogether.

The jw's influence caused me to want to drop all religion, including their own. I don't believe in the bible-christian God anymore than I would believe in Venus, Mars, or Aphrodite. They're all the same to me...stories to learn in Mythology 101.
