Do you belive in UFO's?

by highdose in

as jw's we were meant to say no, but as free thinking people, i wonder what your opionion is?.

I've seen a UFO with my daughter, orange lights suspended in the sky at night. I was driving and when i saw it i couldn't believe an aeroplane was flying so low, banking and turning showing it's underside....but couldn't understand why the lights were orange and i couldn't understand why it appeared to be moving slowly. I couldn't see any shape to it, just the lights. As i continued driving and subsequently turned away from it round a bend in the road and down a hill i didn't give it much after thought apart from me and my daughter saying it looked strange.

The next day in the local paper there were many reported sightings of the same event, but for those who stopped to watch it, it was suspended there for 15 minutes before it went.

Trying to find a bible verse about slavery - The bible condemns anyone who speaks against slavery

by Elsewhere in

i seem to recall reading a bible verse many years ago that basically said that anyone who speaks against slavery is evil and condemned by god.. i have spent a lot of time digging around the internet looking for it but can't seem to find it.

to be honest i'm starting to doubt my memory as to whether or not the verse even exists!

would anyone happen to know this verse or if my memory is wrong?.

Are you refering to Canaan and his descendents. This scripture was used to justify slavery over the centuries as it was said the black race came through Ham and subsequently Canaan.

20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded [a] to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father's nakedness. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father's nakedness.

24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,
"Cursed be Canaan!
The lowest of slaves
will he be to his brothers."

26 He also said,
"Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem!
May Canaan be the slave of Shem. [b]

27 May God extend the territory of Japheth [c] ;
may Japheth live in the tents of Shem,
and may Canaan be his [d] slave."

I have a 14 year old boy, i cannot understand how a judge could say that it is his decision. I remember what i was like at 14 and the sad thing is that i thought along similar lines at that age.

Dennis Lindberg, of Mount Vernon, died around 6 p.m. at Children's Hospital & Regional Medical Center in Seattle, according to KING-5 television. As a Jehovah's Witness, Lindberg objected to receiving blood. Doctors had said he needed it to survive his cancer treatment.

I've really got no more to say.

Edited to add that this is an old story of 2007, but still very sad.

Do any of your friends worry you will go back?

by creativhoney in

jw

hello all.. in thes spirit of another thread i read where the boyfriend was badgering our poster about the religion saying he wanted her to forget it and not go back... do you have friends that worry?

my best friend is always asking me... do you think you will go back?.

do you think its because when we were in we so vehemently proclaimed we believed it?

digderidoo

My kids think i'm going to go back if i pick up the bible, or read one of mom's magazines. Sometimes i'm too scared to even look in a Watchtower's direction, you'd be amazed how quick they notice it.
