when i was in the org it seemed most brothers were very much into football and other sports.
which looking back makes no sense and makes me wonder why?
it felt like an overcompensating to be masculine.. shouldn't football be deemed unchristian?
moomanchu/that's an old clip but funny and all I can see in my head is the automobile -- oh my.
Ahh the best, Walter Payton (#? I forget too lazy to look up) and Joe Montana. GO Niners❤️ and the Levi's Stadium. Not really into football but small doses fun. Footballers are or were said to be the most conditioned athletes - would seem boxers would be.
i didn’t get the covid vaccine, but i admit, i was scared as shit i made the wrong decision because there was so much confusion out there.
practically all my family and most of my friends took the vaccine because everyone was depending on those in charge to speak the truth.
now a lot of them are sick, and they can't figure out why.
SED - horrific but the rat infestations and bed bugs!! Oh my. I'm still hearing unreal experiences - so sad!
think about it: they had to go out and buy halloween paraphernalia, then apply makeup & costumes to dress the 'brothers & sisters' up as vampires, witches, mummies etc.
and you know they were probably joking around the whole time.
what a bunch of hypocrites, the last gen gb would be turning in their graves to see such a photoshoot at the 'house of god' 😆.
Is this WT-Halloween costume-dress event a rehearsal or for performance in the orgs filming production? Was it mockery or they were just having FUN - yeah!
he will not pressure her to engage in sexual acts that make her feel uncomfortable, that are demeaning, or that bother her conscience..... the bible does not provide details as to what sexual practices between a husband and a wife should be considered clean or unclean.
a christian couple must make decisions that reflect their resolve to honor jehovah, to please each other, and to maintain a clean conscience.
generally speaking, a couple would not discuss with others this intimate aspect of their marriage..
can i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.
i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.
in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.
SED - Yup/the great Chicago video.❤️ Thanks!
i was listening to a lunchtime call in radio show about jws and the personal experiences of being disfellowshiped, and a former elder called in saying he was disfellowshiped for asking about jws and their involvement in the un in the 1990s ,and he just said look it up.. thinking that it was a made up lie ,so i looked it up and it was true even a letter confirming it from the un itself and that led me here and to jwfacts and further research into the history and teachings of jw and walked out the door about 5 years ago.

Thanks, stan livedeath. There's many and finally found the one linked (Chicago concert) that miraculously disappeared. It's better than Costa Mesa (Pacific Beach, Cali) concert. I'll check your link out! Appreciate. Wow --is Steve Miller old and working on new album.
for jws who believe that jehovah had a hand in reviving the truth in the nineteenth century this is enough explanation for how jws managed to achieve a closer approximation to early christian beliefs and practices than other groups.
but is there an explanation for this phenomenon that doesn’t rely on supernatural intervention?
new testament scholar james dunn explains the difficulty of interpreting the biblical texts in this way:.
Thank you, Earnest.

Was the non-trinity belief handed down to JWs (Russell) via 2nd Day Adventism/England? I've no issue with it but curious. Seventh Day Adventists now promote the trinity but not always the case.
thinking back when i was a true believer these are probably the top ten reasons why i believed jws are the true religion.
1. they show love among themselves by not going to war.
not killing your fellow believers in any circumstances, including war, would seem to be a very basic requirement for true christianity.
OTWO - yes, so many arguments! Do tell/carry on - love your comments^^.
