driving does require a high degree of control after all, don't you agree?.

Should a submissive wife get behind the wheel?

I'll bet if you asked JW women that question the majority of them would answer as rebel18 and Finkelstein answered and mean it! LOL

I think a lot of the fear contained in JW's forecast's in the 70's and 80's were linked to the cold war and the fear of a thermonuclear catastrophe. It seemed like the end was near and the WTBTS played into that fear so well.

Do you think you should have the right to decline business on Personal or Religious grounds?

by PokerPlayerPhil in

should individual businesses have the right to pick and chose who they serve?

if a muslim decides he won't bake the cake of a radical zionist that says "reclaim the temple in jerusalem" should the government be allowed to punish the muslim baker?

maybe you can help me understand the issues more clearly because were becoming hyper-sensitive and soon your going to need a handbook what's the proper thing to say.

Poker player phil. If you forced me to bake a cake for you, would you eat it?

Do I have the right to refuse business on personal or religious reasons? HMMMM I think so! As you go broke because you don't have enough customers don't come looking to tax payers for assistance.

Went to a Catholic Funeral Today

it was for a dear friend of the family that i have known all my life.now, bear in mind that i was born and raised jw, so my experience with catholic ceremonies can be counted on three fingers, a wedding, a "regular" mass, and this funeral mass.once they got down to the actual speaking about the deceased, i felt emotionally involved, but prior to that, i was watching and had questions about aspects of the services (these i have seen in common for all three times i have been in an rc church):why the "sing-song" voice during the prayers?

does god hear it better if you sound all spooky tenor?i observe that every time a reading from one of the gospels takes place, it is preceded by a big musical number:"alleluiah!

alleluiah"( "and nowwwwwwwwwwwwwww, heeeeeeeeeeeeeere's jesus!".

What are JW funerals like? Not respectful?

No I don't think they are.

They are a recruitment drives.

I have been to many including some of my immediate family.

When I went to my Father in law's Catholic funeral,his was about the celebration of his life.

I am certainly not advocating for the Catholic Church.

I have been to several witness funerals or recruitment events what ever you want to call them. The last Catholic funeral I was to was for my father in law. It was a very respectful ceremony.
