The righteous will posess the earth

by lostsheep82 in

everytime i talk to my mom about the religion i once was a part of, she always throws scriptures at me.

even though i provided her and my 'anointed' step dad with an 85 page letter of research on this religion, provided quotes of all failed prophecies, and all the bs the society feeds them, personal emails from the un and letters from the society in their stupid defence....they just took it as apostate material.

my step dad even admitted he didn't read the whole thing, but he got the 'just' of my point.

by oompa in

!......esp as a kid....your all excited (horny)....so how do you deaden it?....the answer is obvious.........oompa.

Good point`s oompa

If I could add my 2 cents worth to #6 When I`ve asked this question,it`s either been "I woudn`t take fractions," missing the point entirely ,that the fds class allows it,or that`s a conscience matter for an individual to decide.Don`t they stop to think where fractions come from ? It`s blood donated by their neighbours catholic protestant and whoever else,stored in a blood bank till such time as it is processed in a laboratory ,extracting the different fractions,then transfused into a jehovah`s witness.As you rightfully said it is not poured out on the ground.

NEED HELP with Watchtower or publication quotes (age of the earth)

by Tatiana in

for the life of me i can't remember and can't find even with "search" what the exact belief was about the age of the earth.

did it change?

i could have sworn we were taught to believe that the earth was no more than 5-7 thousand years old.

My understanding was (in the 1960`s ) Gen 1:1 was a statement of an event that could have occured millions of years ago,in relation to the universe .From Gen.1:2 onwards referred only to Jehovah`s preperation for mankind to inhabit the earth.

apparently serena`s heart tattoo wasn`t supposed to be seen (the nape of her neck ) i wonder if she has any more hidden elsewhere ?

i`ve always suspected the williams sisters didn`t really have a clue about what their religion teaches lev.19:28 either it`s the religion of their parents,or it`s cool to be different and stand out among your peers,a fad etc.some of the comments made by them exposes their ignorance.. smiddy.

O.K I`ve since read they aren`t baptized,hardly attend meetings, or seldom witness door to door. so that probably lets them off the hook

Trust in Jehovah in these hard economic times--but send us money

by Bonnie_Clyde in

clyde has heard from two sources that a letter was read at the meeting last week.

after encouragement to trust in jehovah, they suggested that each publisher send about $5.70 to the society each month to help support the organization.

that's the way he heard it.
