  by JasonSea in

  i am new here and i have a special gift for you that i have been developing through heated debated with atheist/agnostics in a number of forums of this nature.

  i feel i am supposed to share this special gift primarily with jehovahs witnesses for, through my prayers, i have been extremely inspired by you.. before i enter the post i would like to experiment and get to know how this forum works.

  special edit: okay, i'm getting the hang of this very different format than i am used to.

  You atheists do not believe in God, but believe that all life evolved from single-celled organisms. You cannot prove this as fact with your scientific methodology thus you are accepting the premise on FAITH.

  Jason

  You seem keen to put everyone into a tidy box. Are you truly unaware that most theists including most Christians do indeed believe that all life evolved from single-celled organisms.

  Seems you've led a sheltered life and only been exposed to the modern Americal style of fundamentalist religion!? Just my two-penneth.

  What do you think is the most ridiculous teaching of the Watchtower?

  ..that the mention of a faithful servant in a parable referred to the appointment, 2,000 years later, of a human organisation.

  ..and that for some reason the appointment was made to the only religion on earth with a 100% prediction failure rate, and which has gradually abandoned every last scrap of the "spiritual food" which they say earned them the appointment in the first place.

  The story of my life (part 3)

  by onacruse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, at age 12, my folks move from los angeles to portland, oregon (they'd moved from new york to la when i was 1).. now, for most pubescent jw males, such a move would have engendered considerable angst about the meeting of new "worldly" people, how i'd "fit in" with the new congregation.

  naw.

  i was already so deeply involved with my devotion to whatever the wts had to say...man, i literally ran out to the mailbox and grabbed the latest watchtower, to immediately glean every last and latest kernel of truth from the brown-paper-wrapped issue of the magazines.

  Thinking of cancelling my holiday so as not to miss the next installments...

  When I get back I'll put the whoole story into one document and seek your permission to show it bit by bit to a JW friend of mine.

  Thank You!

  i was going to post a personal note under the subject, "my daughter is reading jwd" but i decided to just say, "thanks" instead.

  it can be confusing for a teen-aged child when one parent is a jw and the other is not, even in a house like mine, where both parents recognize that it would be grossly unfair to "pull" in both directions at once, forcing her to please one parent at the expense of the other.

  jwd, with its huge cross-section of people and experience has been and continues to be valuable in helping her to make up her own mind.
