Want to hear something funny ?
by troubled mind inmy husband just won the city wide holiday light display for christmas i am so proud .
just a few short years ago i was the one that put a strand of white lights around the porch railing ,and a couple of lighted deer in the yard ....that brought the elders around real quick (after three years of silence ) at that time my husband was still holding onto the notion his faith was not bond to a cult .
it didn't take long after the 'loving sheparding call' for him to see things in another light.

The best way to debate JW's without being labeled an apostate
by cookiemaster inhey guys!
here's what i found to be the best way (for me at least) to debate jw's without earning the laber of apostate.
this is mostly valid when debating jw's that don't know you personally, but it could help with those that do too.

I have finally given up debating with a JW. I just tell them, point blank, that they are in a cult.

Origin of Black Skin - JW.org Noah Movie
by Bloody Hotdogs! ini've never seen this discussed here, so thought i'd bring it up:.
as far as i can figure, jehovah's witnesses no longer teach that black skin is the result of a curse from god.
instead, they seem to teach that canaan was already dark skinned when his father, ham, brought the curse of servitude upon their family.

I read somewhere a new study that said 3% of Euro-Asians had Neantderthal genes in us! Neanderthal and Homo's were on Earth, simultaneiously for 60,000 years, and mated . . . . .
(But, Humans are really only here on Earth for 6,000 years . . . . according to tight pants Tony and his buddies)

Why do ultra rich jehovahs witnesses get a free pass when it comes to being materialistic?
by hoser ini know a couple of jws in my town that are both very wealthy.
one has upscale retail stores and owns a property development company.
the other has a large service company and owns a lot of real estate.

Why should wealthy JWs show humility by giving up their material possessions? The WTS doesn't believe hte world is going to end soon. The WTS is investing in new headquarters, Kingdom Halls, Assembly centers, technology?

Two men in my family were wanted by the high school coach for both baseball and football. Not allowed. Competition was evil.
One girl was elibible for National Honor Society. Not allowed. Nationalistic was evil.
One girl is a gifted singer, smacking good like Carrie Underwood. Singing & music lessons not allowed, nor was singing at any event. Too much emphasis on worldly places whre she'd sing.
One was a gifted muscician. Not allowed to join marching band or regular band. Have to play Christmas/Holiday songs and support a competition event and a militaristic past to marching band.
One was a gifted artist. Quit upon rejoining the Jehober's Witnesses. Took too much time away from door-to-door service.
One was a gifted hockey goalie. Quit upon joining the Jehober's. Took too much time & competition.
"Jehovah Witnesses are to live in this world, but not be a part of it." How many times did we hear this?
***************
Now, the ones above who are no longer JWs, are all actively participating in these activities, as adults. They are avid, becuase they are making up for lost time. The ones who are still JWs, are not happy.

Divorce courts want the parents to get along and not divide the children. The mother's actions in this case were very divisive. She's basically demonizing the father's choices to allow the children to participate in organized events. I wonder if the JW literature on organized sports and bands were brought out to this court. It doesn't matter if they played at a Baptist church or in a county league, the mother being a JW wouldn't have permitted it. Competition, fear of playing holiday or national music, is banned for Jehovah's Witnesses. While the mother has a choice to not participate in these activities herself, can she thwart the father's choice to allow his children to do these activities? Becuase both being in a band and playing soccer are wholesome activities, the judge rightly sided with the father. Good Job New ZEaland. I would love to send these kids a small Christmas gift.

I didn't ask for a movie shot from the soldiers, I was asking about that particular event you were describing. I know there are Christian terrorists, as I explained. Was there a link to a Christian group, symbol, message that the criminal used before, during, or as justification for his offenses that you mentioned?
I can't see your Battle Hymn video, but I think it was likely from a WWII movie. I remember my history, that was U.S. against Nazi Fascists. Nazi's used an ancient symbol, the swastica. They used it so terribly, they changed the world's view of it. It's a dirty symbol that signifies the killing of millions of Jewish people. Nazi's were terrorists who were searching for an Arian ideal and world domination. If a person killed anyone today, using a Nazi flag or swastica symbol, we'd say they are Fascist Terrorists, even though the Nazis and Hitler don't exist. It doesn't matter if it's a lone wolf, it's the motivation.
Yes, Christians and Europeans have been terrorists. You don't like it? If you don't, get your rear to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and go live in a goat loving country where the goats walk wierd and the women are black & blue. You don't have to be sillly sheep with us. And, don't let the door hit you in the butt if you decide to go.
