If you only knew where to get real knowledge of Jehovah's Witnesses, which is never on a forum.
Ok, I'll bite. Where?
so many people here and so little knowledge of jehovah's witnesses.
there are still people here associating jehovah's witnesses with the watchtower society when that is not the case.
so many people look to the past not the future.

that was the first thing out of my mouth to the two women witnesses who came by yesterday to talk to me, their return visit.
i had wanted to talk to them since last saturday, one of the women came by with a fellow and offered me the magazines.
she asked, "do you think the world will ever be filled with peace?
Does anyone know what book she could be referring to?
It's been a long time, but I seem to remember it being entitled "Evolution or Creation", and we referred to it as "the Evolution book".
"and you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.
" luke 11:46. as witnesses we want you to realize that the load put upon you is a light one.
one what is not burdensome, not something that would tire you or or over tax the mind.
I got a 2 ton monkey off my back when I left.
Me too. I was divorced at the same time.
i have just finished reading 'confessions of a kamikaze cowboy' by dirk benedict.
in the book he talks about how 'macrobiotics' (exclusion of meat, sugar, dairy among others) helped improve his health and fight cancer.
a lot of what he says about food resonates with me, so im curious.
Personally, I eat anything and everything. However, 5 months ago, I began taking Cold Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil, three times a day. To date I have lost 78 pounds, and 8 inches from my waist. I feel great, have a lot more energy, and my blood pressure, which has always been a problem, is normal.
Certainly worth a try.
yesterday, i was at my asperger's syndrome support meeting and i found out something very funny and shocking.
a well respected figure in my mom's congregation is an active homosexual (no, minnesota xjw's, i'm not mentioning any names.
he's an old man that's close to death, let him die in peace).
This is surprising...how? Alot of Dubs are colon cowboys.

1980 - The Society overturned the decision and transplants became acceptable once again. (Watchtower 1980 March 15 p.31)
I can't help but wonder if around the time this "new light" emerged, perhaps one of the goobering buddies may have needed treatment that would require blood fractions?
i'd say, beware, once you'll be baptized they won't treat you the same way.
they will expect a lot from you, and you'll never be free again to say what you think about the religon or even think for yourself.
they will control your life completely.
Run like your pants are on fire, and your ass is catching.
the stars fall from heaven?
~sigh~ and youll fall across the finish line into the new world!
we dont want that brothers.
If you will all excuse me, reading that gave me a case of bum spaghetti.
Brb.
consider the scene: jesus has just been baptized and immediately leaves for an extended stay in the wilderness all on his lonesome.
now ... already this is something the governing body would discourage any jw from doing, but i digress.. along comes satan.
jesus knows it is satan, because of how satany he is.
Good point.
okay, so in line with the concept of the movie pay it forward, how can jws best save the most people?.
(1) murder is a sin.. (2) people who are repentant of sins are forgiven.. (3) people who go to hell (the common grave of mankind) are still alive in god's eyes, just sleeping.. (4) ergo, if a jw sends someone to hell the jw hasn't sinned.. now, that gets the basic doctrine stuff out of the way.. if every jw kills one thousand non-jw people there will be about 6,000,000 jws left.
if every one of these repents over the deaths of whichever ones didn't go to hell, they will have saved way more people than they ever can by preaching.. and, if by chance they miss out on everlasting life by helpig someone else to attain it: no greater love has any.... any questions?
Sounds a bit like Islam to me.
