2. bible
my original post: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/112134/1.ashx.

again, i quote from the "bible teach" book, on p.89: millions of people have been killed in wars during the past century.

one british historian wrote: "the 20th century was the most murderous in recorded history...it was a century of almost unbroken war, with few and brief periods without organised and armed conflict somewhere.

2. beliefs
i met someone earlier this week whose ex-spouse is a jw - part of a fairly prominent jw family in this area.

although never baptized, this person studied and went to meetings for about 4 years.

this person even disclosed that they had progressed to the point of being an unbaptized publisher.

DEAMONS anyone?
by plmkrzy in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
being raised a jw, imho, is basically being raised with more demon influence then anything else.

i do not mean this in the sense that it might be taken.

what it did for me, the up bringing that is, is put the idea in my head that everywhere i went i had to be very careful of satans influence.

i've just moved congregations (it's the easiest way to keep people off your back!

2. beliefs
ok, so i was raised luthren, my dad was cathlioc and then i went dub for 5 years and since have been completely turned off religion.

the dub experience combined with world events and my personal ones have pretty much pushed all thoughts of a "almighty" out of my mind.

of course there are times that i think of religion or get into a "2am religion talk" and i wonder wtf is really going on.

church allowed accused sex abuser to leave quietly

this is the headline on the front page of today's (feb 28) vancouver sun.. http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=db0e115a-2712-434c-ad62-fb11d28f5206&k=83834.

although this article refers to a roman catholic molester, reading it will cause many a jehovah's witness pedophile to start shaking in their boots or quivering in their jocky shorts.
