Funny, but any Christian religion can make a very similar list quoting scripture and taking the credit.

I Saw David Blaine Today
by DevonMcBride indavid blaine is that creepy illusionist who is in a tank until his show tomorrow night.
today we were in nyc and drove by the lincoln center where his tank is out in front.
we quickly drove by but he was very visible and waving to the people standing around..

Therefore, I'm left believing that he is yet another fake, in a very long line of them.
He's not a fake, he's an illusionist, and a damn good one. -

May 28--Four years since Dateline's JW sex abuse program aired. Results?
by AndersonsInfo insunday, may 28, 2006, is the fourth anniversary from when a threshold was crossed into uncharted waters.
on may 28, 2002, the u.s. television news program, dateline, publicized to millions of viewers the facts about watchtower's deceitful child abuse policies which protect pedophiles who target and molest jws' vulnerable children.
subsequently, this subject caught the interest of media throughout the world who, through careful investigation, substantiated the allegations made on dateline.

Hi Barbara...
I noticed that many people have joined this board because of the Dateline story. There must be numerous JWs throughout the States that have had second thoughts about the Society because of Dateline.... I think the snowball will continue down the path picking up speed. The higher-ups just don't seem to listen (or care). They're setting themselves up for destruction of one type or another.

For those who have old parents, how do you cope with them getting old?
by JH inwhen i speak to my old dad, i have to repeat about 3 times because he is deaf in one ear, but also he likes to make everyone repeat, becuse it's a bad habit he always had.
he always did that even when he had good hearing.
it's as if he has to see me to understand me.

Next time you go to visit, before you get out of the car:
- take a deep breath, and let it out
- repeat to yourself.... "I will remain calm, and I will silently use the word 'whatever' when I am in need"
- remember that no one will ever love you as much as they do
- be happy that you still have them around, and that they aren't just memories.

I wonder what brought the protestants out, since it hardly seems like it's a 'religious' issue. weird.

One's spiritual journey should last a lifetime; becoming a Witness ends it prematurely.
Bravo..... well said! -

I've been to all christian churches of many denominations and honestly find what's taught under the Watchtower society to me is better than the rest.
All, wow, you've been around. I've been to many, many christian denominations and find that they overwhelming represent more of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ (love) than I ever found at a JW gathering. I've never been a dub. The so-called Memorial did it for me, as far as never attending another meeting with my JW friend. To spend an hour, at what was suppose to Memorialize Jesus sacrifice for mankind, and talk very little about the meaning of that sacrifice, or even Jesus Christ himself; and then pass the emblems of that sacrifice around for everyone to ignore.... what a slap in the face to the Savior (even though it wasn't meant that way). To me, the JW reject several of the commandments given by Jesus, partaking of communion is just one of them. -

I realize people hear lack faith, Can't change them, but may this will help
by jw inthe apostle paul told the christians in the ancient city of philippi: "this is what i continue praying, that your love may abound yet more and more with accurate knowledge and full discernment.
philippians 1:9
similarly, accurate knowledge is needed for you to be motivated to believe in god.

Faith in what by the way. Faith in God or Faith in the Watchtower Society?
GOD
Well, that's a start......now get on with LIFE, real life..... there's so much for you to discover about God and his creation. (A mind, especially a closed one, is a precious thing to waste).
