  So, in other words, we were set up for failure from the jump:
  
  We were born with the tendency to sin and owe a debt ourselves.

  Jehovah did not take away Adam and his wife's procreative abilities.
  
  Is it logical to allow a perfect child to come from imperfect parents?
  
  It would be nice, but I don't see that as logical.

  I assisted friends with a batch, and wanted to start again, but I didn't have the time to do it. It is very enjoyable if you do it right.

  I just don't understand

  2. relationships

  my wife and i have been married for 8 years and we have 2 boys (8 and 3).

  we are both unbaptized publishers and a few weeks ago she told me that she couldn't me married to me anymore and that she wanted her freedom and independence.

  now we are pretty much separated and she has been pushing for divorce, she stays and home about 2 nights a week and the other nights she stays somewhere and doesn't tell me where.

  She is cheating.
  
  You need to see about custody issues.
  
  The chance of her "coming to her senses" as far as coming back to you are slim.
  
  
  Just keeping it real.

  What's your name for 'Watchtower Speak'?

  by sweet pea in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  having put some distance in between us and the wts, i can't read any of the society's publications without feeling extremely uncomfortable and irritated by the tone and language that the society uses.

  it all sounds the same - patronising, guilt-inducing, condescending, intellectually unchallenging, etc.

  as far as i'm aware the term is 'watchtower speak'.

  I have never went, but have friends who have gone.
  
  On the surface, it seems interesting.
  
  As an event professional, I have researched some of the former staff's opinions on the current "Governing Body," and they are basically describing the Society turn to the darkside.
  
  
  If you don't volunteer, you'll be OK. Try to help, and you might be disappointed.

  do you care if tom cruise is a scientologist?

  or that mitt romney is a mormon?

  or that a person is either a very devout muslim or a card carrying communist?

  It does, and doesn't.
  
  I could never date or marry someone whose mentality and spirituality is rooted in lies and deceit.
  
  I could, however, get along fine with anyone based on where our beliefs intersect.

  Do JW's still believe this:

  in the first issue of the zion's watch tower it had this to say:.

  "what is truth".

  this question is one which every sincere christian should ask and seek to answer.

  Weddings: They know about the rice, but

  every wedding tradition is rooted in paganism.

  well, if not everyone one, then definitely all of the main ones.
