Giving a Talk on JW's
by aniron in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i have been asked to give a talk on the jw's, about 30-45 mins long.. but there is so much i would like to say that it could end up being either very long or boring or both.

if you had to give a talk about jw's to a group of people who really had no idea about jw beliefs and culture.

what would you included ?.

just reading another thread i've noticed something rather interesting.

Do you not care anymore?
by Pleasuredome in
1. jw
2. friends
has anyone here got to the stage where they just dont care about the wts anymore?

whether they exist or disband, whether its about doctrine and dogma, attitudes, flip-flops, what they think of you, scandles etc.

would this be the end goal of recovering from the jws?

The hospital and Tort of Misrepresentation
by moanzy in
1. jw
2. friends
today i phoned our hospital to make arrangements to deliver the new booklet by kerri louderback-wood.

i spoke with someone from administration about how the witnesses have been misinformed about blood and that i felt the medical staff should be aware of this.

i was told that they have to provide medical care for a wide variety of religions and beliefs and must not take a side.

questions?
by nurse in
1. jw
2. friends
i'm a nursing student and i have to do an essay.

the case study i'm doing is of an elderly gentleman who is a jehovahs witness and i'm wondering if any of you can tell me besides refusing a blood transfusion, if there is any other beliefs that would affect medical care?

i'm not a jehovahs witness but would be very interested to hear your comments and thank you in advance!

i'm 21 years old and currently in a relationship with a baptised jw.

i have been studying with the jws for 2 years before we met.

well, i have to admit, i did not enjoy studying with them until about 10 months ago when i became interested of digging the "truth" although it means my sources was only the jw.

Jewish sperm had mostly males in it.
by gumby in
1. watchtower
2. bible
sorry if the title sounded funky.....but it fit.. has anyone besideds me noticed how nealy ever instance of a birth mentioned in the bible was a boy?.

i realise that women were also born, or there wouldn't be a jewish race...but why are most births recorded of the bible hero's mostly or nearly all men?.

eve has cain, able, and seth.. noah has 3 sons.. abraham has children by two women...ishmael by hagar, and issac by sarai.. issac has esau and jacob.. jacob has twelve sons...mostly by rebeccah's maidservant except for joseph.. yes, some of these ones had other sons and daughters....but it seems it was the males who always were the first out of the chute.
