  The Wizard of Oz

  by onesong in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just thought i'd share this because i'm amazed at how many people know and love this movie but have missed the significance of it's beautiful metaphor.. dorothy, scarecrow, tinman, lion represent everyone of us with or thoughts of being incomplete, imperfect and needing something outside of ourselves for fulfillment.

  (heart, courage, brain, being home).

  Could someone help me with a couple of watchtower quotes.

  by mtbatoon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  could someone help me with a couple of watchtower quotes i'd like to have as a standby should i need them.

  the situation is that my mother recently sent me a copy of the watchtower as it had a family reference.

  though i have summed up all my thoughts on the subject as a non committal grunt, if the subject reoccurs i would like to be better prepared.

  Watch those Germans!!!!!

  by Gill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was having trouble sleeping the other night and switched the tv on to bbc 2. there was a programme on about the sw region of africa and a country called namibia.

  early in the 20th century namibia was under the control of the german colonialists.

  the germans were rather keen on getting more land for themselves as there were a couple of large tribes of black peoples living in namibia.

  Why isn't the bible clear and precise about everything?

  by JH in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why didn't god make the bible more clear?

  there wouldn't be thousands of different religions around the world, and people killing one another in the name of god.

  why didn't god make the bible clearer, and easy even for even the dummest person to understand?

  Do JWs give you the creeps?

  by sonnyboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but i've recently begun to get the willies when i'm around an active jehovah's witness.

  this didn't happen until after i started posting here.. when i stop by my parents' house on a saturday morning and the witnoids show up, i get a sinking feeling in my stomach....a mix between sickness, fear, and anger.

  i used to try and put on a happy face and be sociable when they came in, but now i just wave goodbye and as i'm walking out.

  that a part of you is still in the jw religion?.

  do you at times defend the jw religion?

  even if you despise it do you still defend it as an automatic reaction?.
