Other 'superstitions' of JWs (other than fortune cookies)
by Jim_TX inwell... the 'fortune cookie' thread got me to thinking about all of the silly things that my mom (and the jws) did when i was growing up.. it has been a while, and so i know that i won't be able to remember all of them.. my mom refused to buy a soft drink named 'sprite' - as its' logo included a small impish-looking fella (a sprite) that wore a bottlecap for a hat.
she claimed it was deemunz.. my mom hesitated to buy fried chicken at a place named 'church's fried chicken', as she wasn't sure if the name meant 'religion', or was a person's last name.. my mom refused to shop at salvation army - cause it would be supporting another religion.. the folks at the local kingdom hall came down hard on my mom cause one of my sisters wore a cute little 'sailor's dress'... it had boat anchors, and other 'sailor' emblems on the buttons, that were considered 'militaristic' by the powers-that-be at the local kh.
(i'm not sure if my mom put on different buttons, or scrapped the dress entirely.

No secular evidence for Jesus. What does this imply?
by Spectrum ina man that performed miracles including raising the dead has left no secular evidence.
but as i write this the question has come to mind of what ancient evidence constitutes verifiable, believable evidence that we can take to the bank?
we have the nt and the apocrypha, ancient texts that tell a story of the early christians.

If I were a Roman Governor or other I would nail anyone causing trouble unless I knew for a fact they could walk on water etc.Strange that no one person really knew who he was at the trial if there was one.I mean someone had to kiss him so the Jews could arrest him.They did not know who he was.Just that he ransacked the temple IF he did.
The lesson would be to avoid Israel while being dominated by Rome especially if your the son of God.Making a few sparks fly off of Pilates head during the interview would have been cool.Or making the Jewish High priest sound like the Spice Girls..............
No ones to crucify anyone till I blow this whistle.

Speaking of kook prophecies...
by james_woods in.
i just read the pat robertson has now made numerous statements that god has warned him that a tsunami wave may be coming to strike the pacific nw of the us sometime this summer.. very cool - if it happens, he can bask in the glory of "i told you so".
no matter who gets killed.. if it doesn't happen, i suppose he can say he prayed in the behalf of washington and oregon and that god changed his mind.... for crying out loud, either tell us what day and what city or else go back to picking on the dictator of venezuala!

Did the Witnesses you know, see "Fortune Cookies" as evil?
by free2beme ini was in a few congregations growing up and like many things in the organization, rules were often regional.
one of those issues i remember and it was something i always got a kick out of, was people's reaction to fortune cookies at chinese food restaurants.
i had not run in to it as a child, and then i moved away as a young adult and was studying with witnesses to get baptized and they would try to make me feel more welcome, by inviting me to meals with other witnesses in the congregation.

I read them and dont recall parents not liking it but I heard a jdub complain about them.
Chinese rest could be a safe zone away from jdubs.
Lets start a rumor.Maybe an urban myth........................

When you pray to God, who answers your prayers, Jesus or Jehovah?
by JH in13 also, whatever it is that you ask in my name, i will do this, in order that the father may be glorified in connection with the son.
so is it correct to say that if we ask jehovah something in prayer, it's jesus that will grant the prayer, since he said "if you ask in my name, i will do it"?.
i always thought that it was jehovah whom we pray to, and he was the one who would answer our prayer, not jesus.

Could Someone Explain This
by Undecided ini have three cherry trees in my yard and the birds eat every cherry before it's fully ripe.
my brother-in-law has the same type of cherry trees in his yard and the birds don't bother his at all.
they are just about 250 feet from mine.
