.
does anyone know when the jws began saying that "the word was a god" for john 1:1?.
and when did they start saying that jesus died on a stake?
OH MAN!!
About 4 years ago when I was in RCIA, I asked our parish priest about the whole JW Jesus stake thing, he gave me some information on it, and its somewhere in my library, but I like the fact that he told me its not only supported by our church that he did infact was on a cross but he said ask any historian who has knowledge of Ancient Roman civilization, and they will confirm what the church has been saying all along.
If I find those papers I will come back and post
i'll introduce myself:
i'm a person who'd like to remain anonymous.
i'm 16, and recently confessed to my mother my disbelief in her religion (jehovah's witnesses, obviously so).
Anonymouse,
Check in once and a while with us, you do have us on your side, sorry that things are so down for you right now, do you have any nonJW friends? are you able to talk to anyone outside the society other than here? Do you have any nonJW family, maybe you can go stay with? Well you are 16 right, you have 2 more years and you will be free, what are your plans for after your birthday?
Take care
Stamps, Yeah I remember my mom if the post office gave her flag stamps she would put them upside down, Like that makes a difference?? ok what if they had a cross on them Upside down, well that just takes on a whole different meaning right ?????
Women Elders are chained up somewhere in the south singing "Swing low sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home"

well, last night i discovered a pest i never imagined.
4 rattle snakes, Killed them! 1 possum Killed him, another I let go, MANY spiders Always kill them, sorry but if you don't belong in my house I will kill you. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
how convinced were you at your most convinced that jehovah's witnesses had the truth?
how convinced are you now that jehovah's witnesses do not have the truth?
slim
Honestly 0 and 10
I can say that even as a young kid I never believed.
i just heard that my nephew will not be attending high school, instead will be doing home schooling, why do jws pressure their kids into home schooling?
i really do love my nephew he is a bright kid, i think he would do really great in high school, and hopefully attend college, but i was informed yesterday that he will not be going to high school because its not safe, and besides he made the decision not to go.
i am sorry but he should go, i know what they got planned for him, home school and full time service, this is the time of his life where he needs to concentrate on his education, he will end up just like his mother, who also never attended high school, seems that when your totally lost into the society, covering all aspects of your life, that leaves you socially inept, depressed, and have a distorted view of the world.
I think her sole objective is for him to have more time to go out in service, and along with keeping him away from worldly peers. She already said he is going to bethel at age 18 so he has 5 years before he is shipped off to NY. I am thinking about writing a letter to her Congergation, School district, and Bethel what do you think about that?
i was tempted into buying a bag of mini cinnamon sugar donuts.
so tasty, yet so bad for you.
but then i got to pondering (okay, okay i was trying to rationalize with my brain that *yes* i should eat them ;p ) .
Damn you Dams, I am on a diet! won't be able to fit into my uniform ha ha ha, I love powder surgar donuts, uummmmm.
i'm not sure if this has been talked about already, but why are there no windows inside kingdumb halls?
Wow ok didn't know some had windows, all the ones I went to never did, but that is not saying anything really you could count on one hand how many halls I went to. My cousin also asked me this question, when she was little her family were nonJW but my aunts and uncles tried to convert her, she ran away from them, but this was something that she remembered too.
my parents are headed to the sydney convention this weekend.
she has told my sister this is the last assembly they will be having in this system.
the end is coming!.
I was born in 75, this system of things will end before I enter grade school, ok this system will end before I enter High School, no well ok This system will end before I graduate! This system will end before I ever get a car, get married, buy a house, don't worry about 401K because we will not be alive to enjoy our golden years.
Too bad we can't bet on this in Vegas, I'll put $50 down on the system not ending by the end of this year, ok double my bet for next year, just keep doing this till retirement, I will buy bethel and tear it down, and build a park and name it Pagan's Playground
