Bravo,
I do believe it is a little rude, but nothing those bastards don't deserve, I have often wanted to send just such a letter but laziness has prevented me.

I did it! and it's your fault
by Hortensia ini went to the grocery store today - no that's not your fault.. it's 103 degrees today, not bad.
there were three people sitting in the shade in front of the grocery store.
there was a middle aged woman, an older man in a wheelchair, and a thin man whose frozen smile screams "elder.

Do JW's still believe this:
by return visitor inin the first issue of the zion's watch tower it had this to say:.
"what is truth".
this question is one which every sincere christian should ask and seek to answer.

Bigdreaux,
I hope it helps.
VM44,
I tend to agree with you, uniformity is more important than truth in witlessland.

In the first issue of the Zion's Watch Tower it had this to say :
"What Is Truth"
This question is one which every sincere Christian should ask and seek to answer. We should learn to love and value truth for its own sake; to respect and honor it by owning and acknowledging it wherever we find it and by whomsoever presented. A truth presented by Satan himself is just as true as a truth stated by God.
Perbaps no class of people are more apt to overlook this fact than the Christian. How often do they in controversy overlook and ignore truth presented by their opponents. This is particularly the case when arguing with an infidel. They feel at perfect liberty to dispute everthing he says of religious subjects. This is not the correct principle. Many infidels are honest - as anxious to speak and believe the truth as are Christians - and if in converse with them we ignore truths which they may advance, we not only fail to convince them of our truths, but put an end to all hope of reaching them; for our failure to admit the evident truth which they advance begets in them contemt for the one who is not honest enough to admit one truth because he does not see how it can be reconciled to another. Accept truth wherever you find it, no matter what it contradicts, and rely for ability to afterwards harmonize it with others upon "the Spirit of truth, which shall guide you into all truth," as Jesus promised. (italics in original text)
Not only do they not believe it, but substitute the word apostate for infidel, and its obious that they don't?
Thoughts?

A bitter experience with my JW sister
by dawn48 inhi, this is very long, sorry, but i need to talk to someone about how i feel.. i'm not a jw although for a short time i studied with them back in 1984 along with my younger sister.
my sister became a jw in 1984 and about that very same time i accepted jesus christ as my savior, but did not become a jw as i disagreed with some of their teachings.
i did and still do attend the church of god.she has four children.

I felt compassion and almost cried when I heard about it as that son is a good kid who helped his mom out when his dad wasn't around. He got a job when he was 16. I wanted to call my sister and say how sorry I was to hear about it, as I heard she's very upset about what happend to her son . Yet my mind goes back to the fact that she didn't seem concerned what I was going through, when it involved MY son.
Your sister's situation, and unfortunately her son's, it a direct result of the religion she follows. As I'm sure you are aware from your brief time studying with them, they are taught that the most important thing they can do is preach. They are encouraged not to go to college, not to get a good job that offers the type of benefits they now need, but rather to spend that time in the ministry. The organization doesn't care that your nephew now has to walk around without teeth, they will tell him that he should just see it as a test, and that others have overcome much more to keep preaching. I remember one assembly where they actually told an example of a person in a heart lung machine that dictated letters that could be mailed as a way to preach. (don't know if it was true, doubt it)
It's good that you feel compassion for your nephew, if you want talk to your sister, express your sympathy but don't get sucked into paying for their mistakes, you have your own family to worry about. If you continue to bail your sister out everytime she has a problem she will never learn. In fact, she will say "Jehovah always provides"
Don't be an enabler!!!

JWs... That's not "MEAT JUICE" that you're eating !
by AlphaOmega ina while ago i had a discussion with a jw who swung the conversation around to "the blood issue"... .
i asked him that as he "abstained from blood", does he therefore only eat "kosher meat".. his response was "what's does kosher mean" !.
i explained, and he then told me that all meat nowadays was "kosher", and that the red juice that runs from a steak is infact "meat juice" and not blood, so it was okay to eat.. hmmmmmn.... .
