  two witness rule

  by luffy in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  what exactly is the two witness rule regarding the witnesses stance on child abuse?..am i right in thinking that this means that unless there are two witnesses to the child abuse, witnesses are forbidden to go to the police..surely this cannot be so twisted.

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  im in the process of trying to get my boyfriend to see sense, as however much i try i can see no sense in the jws teachings as "christian"..ive got little over a week before he's baptised, but im not giving up that easily, especially after reading the stories on here..he says he wants to rescue me from a burning house..i say i want to rescue him from the hang mans noose..anyway was discussing with him earlier and i know i read somewhere in the bible something along the lines that we should let no man teach us, and read no other material that has been changed, apart from the bible, as god will teach us all things..i just cant remember the exact wording or where in the bible i read it..does someone know where that was...im still looking lol!

  by luffy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does anyone know the words used by the jws at baptism?..i know that matt:28 tells us of being baptised in the name of the father the son and the holy ghost, and have heard that jws actually pledge "allegiance" to the watchtower at baptism which i find crazy..is this true?.

  Would the world be a better place if everyone was JW?

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the back of 'the end of false religion is near!

  ' leaflet makes an interesting claim that in the book 'holocaust politics' published in 2001, says : 'if more people practiced versions of what the jehovah's witnesses preach and practice, the holocaust could have been prevented and genocide would scourge the world no more.'.

  do you believe that is true?

  Should I marry a JW ?

  by curiousabouthim in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i am new to the jw world, not one, but do love one.

  met a man who down to the tee is amazing.

  he is a great man, the only thing i am not so sure about is his "religious" beliefs.

  Dating an Ex-JW

  by dyone in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i am dating someone who recently left the jw religion.

  i am not a jw, nor do i align myself with any specific religious organization.. intellectually, it was very difficult for me to accept that he could be absorbed into what i believe is one of the strongest cults of our society, but in time i realized just how easy it was to be absolved in something that you are forced into out of fear.. he's at a point right now where he is reading/researching various literature and discussing his experiences openly *such as boards as these* and i encourage such discussions.

  he does not see himself ever returning to the religion and is even willing to face that he may be shunned from his own family as a result.. here is where i am "stuck".
