  Did you ever really believe that god wanted you to shun people?

  by jambon1 in

  i think at one point i did.

  looking back i can't see why i thought like that.

  i always had doubts about it but you would hear the old 'gods loving dicipline' line.

  I was never really friends with anyone who was DF'd, so shunning them wasn't really an issue. I figured it was something that they had to work between thier own families - I wasn't a factor. But then a very good friend of mine was DF'd (technically he DA'd, but..). This really bothered me alot. It didn't make sence to me and I didn't know what to do. I believed that he was going to die because he couldn't force himself to conform to WT standards. And I know that he tried. Also, I didn't think that God was that much of a jerk that he would kill someone just because they weren't perfect - he'd have to kill everyone! I knew that ignoring my friend was not going to rewire his brain. And if he wasn't to survive the big A, shouldn't I be getting the most out of our friendship now, while I still had the chance? I decided then that shunning was wrong. Although I did seek him out and we are friends again, I wasn't there when he really needed his friends. I'm still disappointed with myself for that.

  My favorite part was when they showed the guy polishing the cup then the Pens scored again with 26 seconds left and won three hours later. The Redwings might play better but the Penguins want it more.

  The content will use the story of Jehovah's Witnesses to educate students on civil liberties, religious tolerance, medical ethics and standing for what you believe.

  Seems a bit ironic, dontcha think?

  How can this video possibly be considered "educational"? The whole point of it is candy coat Jehovah's Witnesses. It has no business in public schools. Why not teach kids about mortgages and interest rates and to properly use credit.

  I just want to say that you can't tell who is dangerous and who is not by what they are wearing, what they look like, or what music they listen to.

  I agree with this 100%.

  What I am trying to say is that a person should not ignore his insticts. Sometimes you pick up a certain "vibe" from certain people, regardless of how they are dressed. If something is telling you there's something not right about a person - you should listen. Maybe it turns out that that person is harmless, maybe they are not. I am not speaking of this case specificly. I have seen several small, cute, female sisters walk into very stupid situations b/c they believe the JW legends. The WT indirectly encourages this type of stupidity.

  It is tragic. The Watchtower rhetoric often times clouds people's judgement, allowing people to approach people who may seem dangerous or to walk into unsafe situations. The magazines and JW legends are full of stories of people who do just so and come out as heros. The WT may say in it's defence that they never printed anything that explicitly encourages dangerous behavior but urges readers to "use sound judgement." "Sound judgement" to many people means - fear no man, Jehovah will protect you as long as you are doing his will - so, go talk to that masked man weilding a chainsaw, you just may start a Bible study.

  Is the WTS planning on going mainstream?

  been thinking with all the changes announced and more yet to be announced by all accounts, is the wts planning a major shift into mainstream religion?.

  I think it would be very difficult to try to predict the WTS plans. I don't think they even know if they have a plan. They seem to be in a very unstable place. They know that they are losing members like crazy but are divided on how to make them stay. Should they tighten the reigns, force them to believe with fear and threats or loosen up and put on a friendlier face? Either way they will alienate a lot of folks.

  I think the problem is that they think they can hold you to a higher standard because you're a "christian". Then they hold themselves to a lower standard because you're a "christian" and christians are supposed to look out for the less fortunate ones. (Especially if the one borrowing is wealthier than the one lending.)

  BTW, there are a lot of scammers out there so some of them are bound to be JWs.

  A popular belief came about a few years ago that immunizations cause autism. This is a more likely reason for the mother's fear of immunizations, rather than traces of blood being in the shots. There was an autistic child in my former hall who's mother claimed that mercury in the immunization shots were the cause of her son's condition, although her other 2 children recieved the same immunizations and were healthy. It caused quite a buzz in the hall -you know, you just can't trust anything in satan's system.

  Find out why she refuses the immunizations first and go from there.

  The Butchering of the English Language.

  by Low-Key Lysmith in

  1. social
  2. current

  i am disturbed by the recent trend in the media in america that encourages the butchering of our english language.. i'm talking about examples of film titles like "she hate me", "how she move", & "baby mama".

  does it really take that much effort to add an "s" to the end of a word?

  now, before i am decried as a racist, please note that nowhere in any of my statements have i isolated any particular race.

  It's espresso, not expresso! And, the 'T' is silent in 'often'.
