Wow the contrast is nuts. The Mormons sound like a mature bunch doing their religion thing. The JW's sound like desperate freaks losing their grip.

Yeap.

I will like people on this forum and lurkers to see the big different between JWs and other religion. Following you will see the program from the upcoming Distric/Regional 2016 convention. Look at the topics that are going to be discussed. Taken as a whole, is one big OBEY US! and really depressed program to sit and listen to. (I copied this from the depressedsoul's earlier topic).

Where am I getting? keep reading down there and you will see a sample of the Mormon's program form their 2015 conference. In no way I am endorsing the Mormons. I just want to point out the difference of topics. Read and see.

My New Thoughts on Adam and Eve (don't laugh)

by xjwsrock in

warning for those that are still believers... this train of thought will not be faith strengthening.... i have come a long way since first stumbling on crumbs of ttatt in 2012.

(i have not come nearly as far with the wife unfortunately, but such is life.

) my critical thinking ability, thankfully, is in another stratosphere since figuring out i was a jw lab rat.

lol god had to have created bad to have it to be done.

This. When you think about it, Genesis goes down the drain.

And what proof or scripture(s) does WT have that God communicated with Adam in human language?

They spoke English. Don't you know? The official language in WT land.

Did the Brother giving the Memorial talk mention Nisan 14 ???

by RubaDub in

in our congregation, the brother mentioned nisan 14 a dozen times.. i thought, with the fact the jewish calendar has nisan 14 in april this year (april 22 i believe) that the nisan 14 thing would be hushed up.. was it mentioned where you attended?.

rub a dub .
