  Shaking Hands with Death - part 1

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  shaking hands with death: the one common bond we all share, even jehovahs witnesses, is death ... it lurks in the back of the head ... and most people dont think about it more than they are forced to when a loved one dies.

  on monday, 5/28 i was forced against my will to meet mr. death, and have my first chat with him.. i would have expected to have profound and serious thoughts combined with the wise and sage advice of standing at the threshold of deaths door.

  what i found was something most unexpected ... something that altered my views of life and death, yet once again.. the heart attack: it was a pleasant noontime.

  i was so happy to read the following quote by janh in another thread: about logic vs reason[ did jan mean emotion here?

  ], i think a factor may well be that fewer women have high education.

  it is a worrying trend that women still do not choose education in 'hard sciences.

  Out,
  I hope this is helpful.It is just my opinion on the subject.

  I do not believe that either type of euthanasia is imoral if it is truly mercy killing.That is honoring the wishes of the person.A person has the right to choose to leave this world without suffering so badly and putting further burdons on their loved ones if they so choose.I am only speaking of terminal illness here.

  Both forms of euthanasia are imoral in my opinion if this is not the wish of the person. I would consider it murder and only used as an excuse to get rid of a person except for in the case of Capital Punishment which is a whole different subject.

  I believe it is inhumane to outlaw the option of euthanasia! We treat our animals more humanely than we do humans!

  WT Public Information-Position On Murder

  by silentlambs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how would the wt public information explain their position on other crimes such as bank robbery, rape, or even murder?

  would they present their position in the same way as child molestation?

  if so here is an example for wt media to post with the proper changes.. .

  Check this out!

  This WT letter shows that WTs viev of the crime of murder is not that different that that of the crime of child molestation anyway.

  If this link doesnt take you to the letter, go to the silentlambs website.There's a link at the bottom of this page.Click on WT letters, then scroll down to the murder letter.

  It is shocking!

  i had resolved in my mind to leave the world of witnesses and former witnesses behind.

  then september 11th happened, and this community was a wonderful support.

  then the un fiasco happened, and i was amused.

  Nuclear bomb dropped to start GT?

  by blondie in

  has anyone ever seen a statement in one the wts publications saying that a limited nuclear exchange could start the great tribulation?

  i seem to remember that from my childhood days at the book study.

  I don't remember them saying that it could start the GT but that limited use nuclear power was possible during that time.I may be wrong.I suppose they could have hinted that nuclear use could be a trigger.

  I just remember that they explained that there was no need for undue fear because we know any use of nuclear devices would be limited according to scriptures such as the ones that say the earth stands forever....God is ruining those ruining the earth ect.....

  No matter what they said they were using fear disgused as comfort to control us.

  my mother called me again to talk about dateline and the fall out at the cong.

  she said the elder (or guy giving the talk-i am not sure if it was book study or a meeting) read a letter from the society saying: .

  "it is all apostates who are doing this".

  Puffs,
  Thanks for sharing this. It's nice to see someone's mom is thnking.

  your mom said the elder said

  that you cannot believe these claims...there were not two witnesses

  In the letter that was read the WT holds to the two witness policy.
  He and the rest of the congregation probably didn't realize the contridiction that was!

  My Mom's reaction to the Dateline show

  by Mulan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i posted earlier today that mom thought the show was well done but she thought they made some "cheap shots" too.

  tonight, after dinner, i asked her what she thought were the cheap shots.

  i could tell she had trouble remembering, but said this: "i am sure there are some cases of molestation, like the ones they discussed on the show, that were handled badly, but there are so many that are handled in the right way.

  Tera,
  We have got to be siblings seperated at birth or my mom has a twin.
  I couls see those same words coming from my moms mouth.

  With my mom it all boils down to selfishness.Claiming to be upset for Gods people but really just thinking about herself.

  Well there seems to be two options.
  #1 Turn his ass in!

  #2 assume that since he is a JW he must really be a good person so just pretend you don't know about it.

  I vote for #1 if it is for murder, child abuse ,rape, theft or any other serious crime.

  If it is parking tickets then forget it.
