OK, Your Opinion: Are Witnesses Who Practice Their Religion "Bad"?

by minimus in

if a jw is an ardent believer, and faithfully practices his or her religion, are they, in your mind, "bad" or "evil", in reality?

Without doubt, "bastardized".

Please put your JW heads back on for a moment... (Memorial Meal)

by AlphaOmega in

something has been bugging me for ages about the non-participation of r&f jws in the memorial meal (sounds like a mcdonalds deal) !.

i've just worked out what it is.... only the "anointed" can partake of the emblems.. but at the original meal, as instituted by jesus, no one was anointed.

the anointing came at pentecost, after he had died !.

AO, question, when did Jesus become anointed, before his submersion or after coming out of the water? Apparently some 'act' had to be performed before being anointed, right or wrong? What act did the apostles have to do to be anointed?

Removing Apostate Lies from the Internet with Legal Action...why not?

if a lot of the negative experiences and comments about the watchtower bible and tract society and jehovah's witnesses on the internet really was all apostate lies, surely the wt society would have a legal right to take such supposed slanderers to court and sue to have the information removed.. they were able to remove quotes site just for repeating what they themselves had said.

why do they not take the same action with regard to information they insist is just apostate lies?.

Since when did differing views and opinions become apostasy?

Anyone Else from Canada?

by Miss 8572 in

i'm really intrigued by that fact that i may know some of you and yet not know that i know you.

i just want to know how many people from canada are here.

if you don't mind and don't care about posting your province (cause i'm too timid to) we could all get an idea of just how many canucks are really out there.

The word Canada comes from the word Kanata (Mohawk) meaning, town/village. People who live and are born in Canada don't realize they are village people !!!!! I'm from Kahnawake.

What if she hadn't eaten the fruit?

by michael downing in

based solely on whats available in the genesis account, what would happen if eve had not eaten the fruit but had continued a relationship with the "serpent" in perpetuity questioning god's motives?

would she be punished for this exercise of free will?.

i ask the question because my personal belief is that if the genesis account is in fact allegory, then what comes after it should be awarded no more acknowledged efficacy that what we prescribe to aesop, confucius or any other pragmatic, non-theistic value-set that has survived history .
