(i made a thread like this but it seemed to have gotten lost).
i got in some heated discussions years ago over what i would and would not tolerate from people with regard to abuse on a personal level.
we were always fed the line that we should forgive our brother, etc.
Yep, regarding Birthday's. I aksed my mother why we don't celebrate them with no biblical support. She said, 'It's a test from Jehovah'
That's sad stevenyc...

"If you don't behave at prayer God will send a ray of light right into you head!!"

The problem I find with that site is that it refutes a lot of crap and then tries to implant a new set of crap in your head... as often happens with apologetics sites.
I thought so...

for those interested in an alternative to the jws, check out http://www.bibledecoded.com/index.html .
the lws claim to be the successors to the jws!
they have their own chronology, disfellowshipping rules, etc.
Hey what about woman wearing trousers!?
ever heard of anyone leaving the jw's and becoming, say, a scientologist?
or a morman?
or a member of any other crazy cultish org?
GetBusyLiving and doogie, tank you.
I suppose that's the trouble... a void and dependency.
Nice words. (realy)

I'm confused...
What about 'maturity' in how we all learned about Jehovah? Have to confess I don't understand who is capable of getting out JW and going to another... or am I still a blind with JW!?
A pertinent question:
How many times do you know an ex-JW went back !? Is there any rate or.. Guiness book!?
I'd call maturity level

south korean scientists stunned their rivals around the world last week by announcing that they had produced the first human embryos that were genetic matches for diseased or injured patients, and had done so by a highly efficient method that could bring further rapid advances in cloning.
it was sobering evidence that leadership in "therapeutic cloning" has shifted abroad while american scientists, hamstrung by political and religious opposition, make do with private or state funds in the absence of federal support.
the korean achievement, published in the online edition of the journal science, makes the current debate in congress over federal financing of stem cell research look pathetically behind the times.
I just read the title: "Cloning...Right Wrong..."
Well if science can explain and do, why not? Itch one has is own individual privacy and right to choose.
