  JW Citizenship to another country

  by dawgfan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've always wondered how jws get around the citizenship process when moving to another country.. example: here in the us, to my understanding, all naturalized citizens have to take the oath of allegiance.

  also i read that there are similar things that other countries require.. the us oath.

  "i hereby declare, on oath, that i absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which i have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that i will support and defend the constitution and laws of the united states of america against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that i will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that i will bear arms on behalf of the united states when required by the law; that i will perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the united states when required by the law; that i will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that i take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me god.".

  something very unusual happened the other day.

  after 20 years of being treated like satan, my mother spoke with the visiting co. and told him my story.

  he was disgusted with the elders who did this to me..... according to my mother he was furious.

  Why did the WTS ever bother to release the KIT?

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in noting another post regarding a pdf version of the kingdom interlinear translation, i traversed the internet sites of several critics of this translation.

  lots of interesting reading, true.

  i wonder why the wts left the door to accusation so wide open?

  Eighty or Ninety percent of Americans would not have supported World War II

  by MsMcDucket in

  1. social
  2. current

  if there had been a poll, eighty to ninety percent of americans would not have supported world war ii.

  this is what my daughter's history professor was telling her in class today.

  the reason why is because the people said that we shouldn't get involved in other nation's affairs and because they were tired of american's dying fighting other people's wars.

  Education Brochure?

  by NanaR in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i finally downloaded the 2005 wt cd (thanks to link posted by vanilla mocha on another thread) from http://www.watchtower.cc .

  for a while now, i have been wanting to find a copy of a publication that was issued in the early 1990s regarding education.. this publication (a brochure, i think) had the same title as a 1992 watchtower article that i found on the cd-rom - education and jehovah's witnesses.

  however, my memory is that the brochure was more direct in actually encouraging witnesses to prepare themselves educationally for gainful employment (while i am sure it still had the required admonition to full-time service and supporting oneself in that endeavor).. "party line" was that pioneers needed to be able to earn a "living wage".

  Tonight's service meeting

  by sspo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what a load of crap- 10 min.

  asking for more contributions in order to build more kh and reminded everyone not only to give cash but don't forget about leaving something for them in your will.. 25 min.

  on the proper use of blood which is also a joke.. the km mentioned you cannot take the four components of blood individually in your body but every component was broken into smaller fractions which is up to you to make a decision to accept or reject.. the common jw does not know their left from their right in making decisions about the dozens of fractions of blood but they will obey blindly and not ask a question because that would be considered apostasy.. .

  Evolution and Homosexuality in species

  by PopeOfEruke in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i started wondering the other day how homosexuality could evolve in species, humans for example, assuming the main purpose of evolution and natural selection is for creatures to reproduce and pass on their genes to another generation.

  obviously for natural selection to favour homosexuality there must be benefits to the species which outweigh the disadvantages of no/less reproduction patterns of homosexual members of the species.

  i found an article that certainly offers some suggestions to solving the seeming "puzzle".
