2. bible
there's something which has crossed my mind too often, after doing some research, meeting people myself- i have become more convinced that speaking in tongues was mis interpretered wrongly by the pentecostals.

i would be interested to hear jw's view of speaking in tongues and why jehovah witness classify them as one of the christodom.

which of their any of their customs/traditions which bible doesnt support, i am just trying to make myself aware, with help if possible.. clarification would be much appreciated

i know this might sound like a question from "la-la" land but as a black ex-jws most of the white jw's that i did have contact with were really nice.

i was talking to a hispanic ex-jws the other day and he was telling me of some of the racist experiences he had as a jw.

i did not contradict him but i never experienced racism from caucasian jw's.

Taliking about being paranoid.

i was doing a search on the un-ngo affiliation and this is one of the listings found concerning the internet.. generally, the more powerful a tool is, the more dangerous it can be.

a gas-powered chain saw can accomplish far more than a handsaw; yet, it must be used carefully.

the internet is likewise extremely powerful and useful, but we must exercise caution when using it, as it also poses serious dangers.

my sister in law was just reproved the other day and my question is ,is this just like being disfellowshipped except in this case she isn't baptised into the cult ooops i mean the truth?.
