Evidence for the Exodus?
by Cardinal Fang inone for the historians here...
was round visiting my jw mother and bro (who stays with my folks when he's in the area working) the other night.
the conversation swung round to a documentary they'd been watching on video earlier that evening, supposedly putting forward all sorts of archaeological evidence for the exodus, including coral-encrusted remains of chariots at the bottom of the red sea, no less.

Wasn't found near Roswell was it???

You have to consider the time it was written, also people haven't changed. When something bad or good happens, god did it. Chariots may have been crossing between flood stages, which is common. Then the water came, natural cycle or miracle? Last week I found $10 next to car after I pulled into a parking space, god, luck, or good fortune? It's all about perspective. Most bible stories do have a historical element of truth......but the use of "god" as the cause.....writers perspective.

Birthdays
by 9thWonder ini have been df'd for over 3 years (for the third time... you know it's the charm).
i have an 8 year old who is being taught by my parents the same things that i was taught, including how we can't celebrate birthdays.
i have been doing a little research on the origin of worldly customs, such as weddings and birthdays only to find that there are many wedding customs that witnesses have adopted that have pegan origins.

Big fat Bible.... you think there'd be just ONE sentence that says...thou shalt not do B-days!
U/D.......come on man....just like smoking and voting.....the principle is there.

Job 1:4 "And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them."
Call me crazy...but it sounds like birthdays to me.

Is College now wrong for Jehovah's Witnesses again?
by booker-t ini have been out of the jw's for many years now but i still have devout jw's family members.
and i am attending college now at 40 yrs old working on my ba degree.
i was so happy a few years ago when my jw mom told me that the wt is slacking off on telling jw's teenagers that college is bad and it is ok to attend college and universities.

And it all depends where the congregation is. I lived in a big college town, where half the hall is students. So of course it's ok, as long as it's in it's "proper place". The other halls, it's a "conscience matter" which is code for it's your choice but you what the right answer is.

Can JW's take vacations.....from the truth?
by JH in.
when jw's want a vacation, they have to go someplace to justify that they aren't at the hall.
so often we hear that brother of sister "x" went to hawaii for 3 weeks, and everybody is happy.. but, if a jw doesn't have the money to take a real vacation, but just wants to take, lets say 3 weeks off, and stay at home without going to any meeting, can it be done without questions asked, just like the couple going to hawaii?.

We have talks down here, EVERY SUMMER, on the need to look up local halls when we travel. And they always say, vacation shouldn't mean, vacation from the truth."

LMAO @ "fruit inspectors"
No doubt, they try to go out of their way to say.....not by works.........then their very next line is "turn in your time yet?"
I go to a meeting once every few weeks..........the only phone calls I get is for time.....I let my voice mail get it
but I should be happy about that............their not on my back!!!!
