Hi BlackSwan! Hope you're doing well! No, he's not baptized yet, thank God......and I hope & pray he never does!

Hi Annie! Yes! I hope, too, that my son sees the REAL truth about the WTS. I'm so glad you're now OUT! Congratulations! :o)

Hi Maddie! I'm so sorry you're in the same boat as me. Yes, I hope both our sons see the WTS for what it is someday. :o)

Hugs to you all,

my husband and i (we are not jws) were at dinner the other night, and we were talking about jws and how flags and crosses are reviled by them.

well, my husband i guess was feeling silly and thought it would be fun to walk into a kingdom hall on sunday, with him wearing a t-shirt w/ a big american flag on the front......and i would wear a large cross around my neck.

heh heh.

That got me thinking......what WOULD they do? What do you think the reaction would be? Just curious......

A question for lurking Witnesses.....

if the wts is based on the bible (as they claim), then why can't a person come into "the truth" just by reading the bible?

also, if the wts really does have "the truth", then why does it keep changing it?

i didn't think truth could change!

And you are absolutely right, deaconbluez, that they need our prayers and support. For a "praying person", this is the most powerful "weapon". :o)

I agree, darkuncle. Every falsehood about the WTS that we can bring up will hopefully create doubts. Doubts that will eventually open their eyes, and lead them OUT.

Also, if the WTS really does have "the truth", then why does it keep changing it? I didn't think truth could change! If a Witness reads Charles Russell's books and believes what he taught, this person would be disfellowshipped and labeled a "heretic".

The WTS claims that in 1919 God choose it to be His "faithful and discret slave". Yet just about everything practiced and taught at that time has been condemned and considered "pagan" by the Society. So, why would God choose the WTS as His "True Channel" since they had so many "pagan" teachings??

Isn't it interesting.....

.....that when a worldly person wants to join the wts, but is living a sinful life.....the witnesses go out of their way to lovingly help him out of his life of sin.

but, when a jw (one of their own) commits a sin against jehovah...that person is disfellowshipped.

case closed.....no love, no care,....just cast out.

TRAGEDY ; YOUNG JW MOTHER DIES AFTER GIVING BIRTH

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/shropshire/7078455.stm .

a young mother has died after giving birth to twins, following claims that she had refused a blood transfusion because of her faith.

jehovah's witness, emma gough, 22, from telford, shropshire, gave birth on 25 october.

lavendar

This is OUTRAGEOUS! What a waste! Now, those precious babies will be motherless and the husband is left a widow. Sad, sad, sad.

On pg 17 of the WTS How Can Blood Save Your Life? pamphlet, it states: YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE. Oh really, Witnesses?.....Obviously not.

There are people (non-JWs) who choose NOT to undergo certain treatments (chemo therapy, radical surgery, artificial breathing apparatus, blood transfusions, etc.), and that's their choice. But, the difference is they don't have a RELIGION TELLING THEM WHAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT DO!!
