im in bed trying to get shut eye and just cant because of this repeating question that i have in my head.

i know what the answer is to the question, but i need to hear it from the horses mouth.

so in my 30th hour of being awake i get the courage to dial 411 and call my father whos an elder that i havent spoken to for 10 years.

Ok, lets set the record straight was it a CROSS or a STAKE
by Witchs Son in
1. watchtower
2. bible
and what would you say about the book often referenced by the society as a backing for the stake theory, the non-christian cross by j. d. parsons ?.

you can also download it here if you prefer.

i know that book was written in 19th century so i hope that won't be used as an argument against it after all sir isaac newton's principia was written in 1687 and we aren't holding that against it either.

Current procedure for jw infants regarding blood - any info?
by atypical in

2. friends
with the new year coming around, i am getting ready to (possibly) deal with the blood-card issue regarding my 5-month old first-born (my wife is a jw).

does anyone know, do they expect parents to fill out a dpa or a medical directive for infants, or is that only for publishers and up?

i can't believe i don't know this.

Elder asks me why we quit... (Long)

2. beliefs
in this thread i mentioned having a long chat with an elder last summer.

i didn't realize i had never posted the story, so here it is.. last summer (when i went to buy my new camera lens) i ran into one of my favorite jws at the photography shop.

he was buying a camera bag for his new dslr, and i saw him, went up and greeted him, hugged him.

It Is Very Cruel of God....
by AllTimeJeff in
1. watchtower
2. bible
thiests like to portray their god as who they want him to be.

please allow me to use some extreme examples: the god of abortion clinic bombers worship a vengeful god and are convinced that this is what they should do to please him.

ditto those who commit hate crimes against homosexuals, or terrorist acts.

JW.. a Broke A$$ Loving People.
by Confucious in
1. jw
2. friends
just telling it like it is.... so you have the mormons.. like there are a lot of rich mormons.

mitt romney being one of them.. then there's the scientology people.

yes... also an alternative religion like jw and mormons.. like there are tons of rich scientologists in tom cruise world.. and i know that in jw there are some wealthy people.. but i tell you, in jw the overall feel is that being poor is glorified.. my experience is there is a ton of descrimination in the organization.
