Let's keep it real.Rididcule me as much as you would like ,really it doesn't matter to me .You believe what you want I'll believe what I want .Here's the difference ,I'm just staing what I believe.I won't make any attempt to change your minds.

If you really need to know anything about me I'm more than willing to tell you.

First I'm a black man,African American or any of the other names they give us.

I used to be much like many of you except I was never a witness.I used to be out in the streets slanging yola or cocaine (crack).

I don't make excuses for the things I've done .For those of you who choose to try and belittle those of us who put our trust and faith in Jesus ,you're no better than the JW's.

The last I checked this is a forum to support people not try to tear them down.

I support Shining One 100 % .I really could care less what others have to say. For every piece of evidence found which supposedly proves portions or for that matter the the Bible lacking, I'm able to find other scholars who would disagree.I understand many have gone through much in regards to being part of Jehovahs's Witnesses ,but to constantly belittle Shining one make you no better than what you've all have formerly been part of.I don't make light of the fact ,that many were JW's .I know all to well what it does to one. My wife is constantly being looked down upon by her family members because she refuse to be a part of this org.

Here's a little taste of the hypocrisy my wife has to deal with. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=23286621

This is my wife baptized sister.Take a look at all of her friends and notice the way she dresses.Many of the people on this page are also her brothers and sisters.

Well, I caught the 'flu...........

Well,

If you have the flu ,try making some tea and adding a touch of boubon , or ,rum ,scotch and basically just rest and keep plenty of fluids.The Alcohol won't cure it but it'll numb you a bit and raise the body temp to keep you warm. I'm not sure that I've ever had the flu before.I've had strep throat which caused by bacteria and I'll tell you it sucks.This occurred about 23 years ago when I was in 8th grade.

I refuse to take the flu vaccination because I really don't need it and I don't like needles.

Did you know of any JW elders or JW pioneers that were "racist"?

by booker-t in

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.

Because they're afraid their kids will be too LAZY to STEAL! (Ha ha ha! Ho ho ho!)

I'll explain this one too you,seeing as I'm a person of color or black as some would like to say.

What the jokester was saying is blacks always steal and mexicans are always lazy.So if you have a half black and half mexican child he'd be to lazy to steal.

.The jokes don't bother me though.

I'll even give you one.

A black man walks into a bar with a parrot on the shoulder ,

The bartender says a that's neat,where'd you find it?

The parrot replies in Africa.

heathen,

Actually I am not a catholic.I see many similarities between JW's and Catholics,both teach that no one can understand the Bible without their help.I just have a hard time swallowing the watch towers line of reasoning especially considering what hypocrites they are.

An example is them constantly referring to elders as being imperfect men but yet in the same breath being quick to disfellowship a weak brother or sister.

I did a search on on Matthew 28:16-20

here's what it says.

28:16

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

28:17

And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

28:18

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

28:19

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

28:20

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Now here's how the NWT has it rendered

16 However, the eleven disciples went into Gal´i·lee to the mountain where Jesus had arranged for them, 17 and when they saw him they did obeisance, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU . And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”
