  Ok - I'm in. I'll loan you some money.

  First - send me your money as a charitable donation. Then I'll loan it back to you at interest, but whatever you buy you have to dedicate back to me, ok? Trust me - God will bless this arrangement

  8 years ago, today, my mom passed away as a result of ovarian cancer at the very young age of 48. i was pregnant with her first and only grandchild.

  1994 was both a difficult and blessed year for me!

  here is a picture of her:.

  Are there other religions w similar beliefs to WTS

  by Leander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in particular the belief that the soul does die at death, (its not eternally tormented) belief in a paradise hope and other similar doctrines of the wts.. i'm curious as to just how unique the wts is.

  they claim to be the only ones with their particular set of beliefs but its something that i never really researched all the years that i've been a jw.

  gxs - I have three very good friends who are of Jewish faith. This guy doesn't sound like the Jews I know.

  They celebrate birthdays as well as a number of Jewish festivals. They don't celebrate Christmas but do celebrate Hanakah, and they believe Jesus was a great teacher, but not the son of God or their messaih. They're still waiting for the messiah to come. Basically, they believe and follow the rules of the old testament (ie: dietary restrictions, festivals, etc.)

  He must have been a different style of Judaism that I've never heard of.

  ive just finished talking on the phone with my mum.

  shes a devout jw who is highly thought of by most other dubs, shes on first name terms with the head boyz n bethel too.

  for a lady dub shes pretty high profile, has never, ever been counselled about anything in her entire life and would be astonished if anyone should ever attempt to do so.

  She replied that her attendance at the church service didn’t matter because she didn’t join in the singing of the hymns!

  Now THAT IS FUNNY!!!

  My mom (a devout JW) plunked a few nickles in the slots in Reno but said she found them on the floor so it didn't count as gambling.

  Just remind them that the Pharisees probably said this very thing to Jesus, his Apostles and his disciples.

  Question for those who believe the bible.

  a thread started by realist which mentioned the flood and the disappearance of the dinosaurs got me thinking.

  since i do not own a bible i had to download one from the internet to check a few things out (my computer is really pissed at me now).

  it's been many years since i read the bible but i needed to be accurate in my research to ask my question.

  These are some really good questions. I would like to try and answer them, but I'll need some time to research it. Hopefully I can find an answer for you - and for me now that I'm so intrigued!!

  Nope - you're wrong - it was that he found "new light"

  Ok - I just checked their site again - your posts are hillarious!!!

  But really - instead of stirring the pot, maybe we should just respond to anyone there who is sincerely asking a question, and leave the rest of them alone.

  <<<ducking>>> <<running>>> <<<hiding>>>>
  <<<<waiting for throwing food>>>>

  You know me - always have to speak my mind regardless of the consequences.......hey.......I wonder if that's why I'm here now instead of there???
