  for those of you who tried to follow the no rated r movies "suggestion", what rated r movie did you run out and get after you decided the society could shove their "suggestions"?

  i was dying to see both matrix movies, so they were the first i rented.

  The wonderful San Fernando Valley.

  That's kind of a long drive from Northern CA, but hey, what the heck. Oh, by the way, you wouldn't mind if I brought my mother along to chaperone us would you?

  Why the Watchtower Society Interprets Genesis Non-Literally

  by AlanF in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a literal interpretation of this passage shows that the author of the passage viewed the earth as the center of the universe, with the sun and moon going around it.

  just why does the watchtower society view passages such as in joshua 10:12-14 as not literal?

  the creation account in genesis and exodus.

  An Invitation To ThirdWitness & Scholar - strengthen their faith.

  by hillary_step in

  2. friends

  third witness & scholar,.

  i am sure that given your sneering remarks in recent months you know that many, though not all, who post to this board are agnostic / atheists or have 'lost their faith' in the bible.

  i am inviting you to present a defence of the bible in order to strengthen the resolve of the many jw's who read this board anonomously.

  I am inviting you to present a defence of the Bible in order to strengthen the resolve of the many JW's who read this board anonomously. This surely is your duty as 'Christians'?

  If they really are devout Witnesses as they claim; they would not be on this site to begin with.

  What has the Society said over, and over, and over again? They have told JWs explicitly to stay away from sites like this. Anyone who is a loyal JW, is not going to disobey the "Faithful Slave Class" on this matter. A truly devout JW would never even think of corresponding with "apostates". The only kind of JW who would correspond with "apostates" is one who has serious doubts, who is on their way out of the organization.

  Secondly, anyone who is truly a devout JW will follow the "party line" and accept the teaching that it is only the place of the "Faithful Slave Class" to "feed the flock spiritually". Any devout JW who thinks that they can "spiritually feed" other JWs in a way that the "Faithful Slave" can't has delusions of personal grandeur.

  Why the hell are we giving so much time and attention to two characters who claim to be JWs? I think that it is clear that these two individuals are either lying about being JWs, or they are on their way out of the organization. Given this fact, how in the world are they in a place to give spiritual guidance to anyone on this board? What could these two pseudo-Witnesses possibly tell JWs that the WTS hasn't already taught?

  I think it's time that we quit treating these two posters as if they have any relevance.

  A recent photo of my cat Oreo

  by lovelylil in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we brought his body home to bury on our property next to his brother cat that died about six or seven months ago.

  we think he had an aneurysm and that is why he went out so fast.

  he was a very sick kitty for six months.

  lovelylil,

  Sorry about your cat Oreo. I know how sad it is to lose a pet that you had for so long.
