  Any other churches call themselves the 'truth'??

  by Beck_Melbourne in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  old habits die hard...and quite often in my comments i will refer to the borg as the 'truth'.

  does anyone know of any other churches that refer to their own particular church or religion as the 'truth'??

  also, does anyone know how it originated...all my life i have used the term...comments like 'how long have u been in the truth?

  russell crowe's latest movie 'beautiful mind' is very good.

  my wife and i and a few friends saw it tonight.

  crowe's part is a real reversal compared to that of his role in gladiator.

  i was reading one of the posts earlier about how hypocrisy among the rank and file really pushed some over the edge.... well, how about this one?

  my mom and i were watching pretty woman on tv tonight (edited version).

  it is her favorite movie, so i told her i was going to buy it for her.

  Why be so judgemental....

  by jerome in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just got through reading a thread based upon a statement from happy man.. from his post i gather that he is still an active jehovah witness.

  and thinks that the good in the organisation outweighs the bad.. -----------------------------------.

  why is it that when someone comes here for the first time or that when someone says something that is pro-watchtower the members of this board decend apon them like a piece of meat thrown into a kennel full of hungry dogs?.

  Knock Knock...

  by KistByQpid in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'd be interested in hearing some of the exjw's door-to-door experiences.

  i've probably had the saturday morning door knocking...maybe 6-8 times.

  i've never been "rude" except for once...when i had a particularly aggressive pair who wouldn't take "no thank you" for an answer.

  2. friends

  is it possible after researching the net on jw beliefs, background and reading apostate information that a jw would still research the bible and find watchtower teachings as truth?
