  PMJ... it's not about particular churches. To be saved, which is what matters, you do not need to belong to a certain church or organization. God saves individuals, not organizations or churches. All of the people that are saved make up HIS CHURCH... but they can belong to different earthly churches here. It is about the INDIVIDUAL. Jesus Christ can save anyone that calls on Him and has faith in His sacrifice on the cross for us. Nowhere does your Bible, or anyone else's, imply that you need to be part of a specific organization... if you believe and have faith in Him, you are part of His church.

  "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9 There aren't any "if you belong to the Baptists" or "if you belong to the Watchtower" or anything involved with that. CONFESS AND BELIEVE! That's it.

  PMJ... do the elders know you're here? What would the GB think of you being at an apostate site? You obviously don't take them seriously enough. I was just reading a new article in either one of the March Watchtowers, or maybe the March Awake, about how true Christians avoid the Internet and video games... and I'm sure the WTS especially condemns going to "apostate sites." So do the elders know? Or are you an elder breaking your own rules?

  When you were a JW, did you mind not celebrating? Did you secretly celebrate? Did you think it was evil? Did you have to stand outside the classroom while everyone else had their Valentine's party in school with cupcakes and exchanging Valentine cards?

  Let me know your personal experiences/thoughts, if anyone wants to share... but especially let me know their reasoning for not celebrating!

  Are you in a cult and want out? Be on the Dr. Phil show!

  I would say, if anyone decides to do it, make sure that you wouldn't be putting your life at risk by doing it. Make sure that no one would come after you... or at least be as sure as possible. If you feel it is a dangerous situation, I would avoid it. However, I wouldn't NOT do it just because you're afraid some JWs might say something to you... or stop talking to you. Who cares? If you feel that they may be violent, avoid it, but other than that, don't let a JW or fear of a JW's reaction stop you from doing something that you want to do AGAIN. They controlled your life for long enough... unless it's dangerous, who honestly cares if they don't like it or what they think?

  I wonder if Dr. Phil would take on one of these cults that is considered more "mainstream." The only ones he has really come out and called cults so far are smaller, more "extreme" ones that generally everyone hates and would agree upon that they are a cult. He took on some fundamentalist Latter Day Saints that practice polygamy and was very careful to emphasize that they are NOT affiliated with mainstream Mormons. He seemed to be afraid of offending a large group like the Mormons, but taking on the smaller, even more outwardly nuts ones was okay. Also, he took on "The Family" (a.k.a. "Children of God")... but he hasn't done anything related to the more "mainstream," larger cults... so I wonder if he'd even do anything about JWs, or if it has to be something really small and even more nutso.

  " Bressler also alleges he was harassed because he is a Jehovah's Witness. "

  That's funny... they hate the government and consider it evil, but always first to use the government's system of taking someone to court...

  2. friends

  today, my dad is 76, and today i surprised him by giving him a gift and saying happy birthday.. he was happy.

  since the last 18 years, i avoided saying happy birthday to him, since i was a dub.

  i guess that jah is very mad now....

  Messy people vs. neat people

  Ewww... I agree, that is a good tactic. I keep bringing up the fact that leaving things like FOOD and CRUMBS around is going to attract bugs and mice. Sick! He was cooking and spilled some tomato soup and JUST LEFT IT THERE for like a day! I asked why he would leave it there and he said he was tired. Okay, I can see someone being tired and all... but no matter how tired you are, if you spill FOOD, you should clean it up! It's not like if you dropped a bunch of papers or books or something and said "Oh, that's okay, I'll get it in the morning." It's understandable to leave books or papers around if you're tired, but not something that will attract CREATURES like food!

  Does anyone know how to find someone's birth records? Is that information publicly available? If it is, how do you find out? My one friend is dating a guy that she thinks is older than her... she thinks he's lying but wants to find out in a way other than searching through his wallet. I think that she should just ask him, but she says she's already tried that.... and then I have another friend that is trying to find out info about his biological parents. He knows their names, and even the hospitals they were born at... but he doesn't know their ages or some other info he would like. I am wondering, is this stuff publicly available? I told him I'd ask on here for him... this place seems to be a wealth of knowledge, oftentimes random knowledge. Does anyone know how to get this info? I have the feeling going to a library or something would be helpful. He has already tried using websites like intelius or those other "people finder" websites and those haven't been too helpful. They're not very reliable, and they didn't really come up with anything too useful. So does anyone know if there is a way to view official birth records, or is this info that's not publicly available?

  Apes prove male superiority

  by joelbear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  within the great apes the male is always dominant.

  as they are the highest on the evolutionary track next to man i think it proves that males are supposed to dominate women in all aspects of life.

  However, stillajwexelder... that about the woman's craving being for her husband and he will dominate her... that is after the fall... not before the fall. Not how God originally intended it, nor how I think heaven will be. The last shall be first and the first shall be last...
