  Circumcision....Perfect Adam....Uncircumcised....1st century Christians...circumcision ont required

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this has been discussed many times, but i was watching a news story about female genital mutilation (not female circumcision) and segued mentally into why the hassle about male babies having to be circumcised, christians especially.

  even the wts flipflops on this...... if adam, the first perfect man, not under the jewish law code, was given a foreskin by god as an aspect of his physical perfection, why then do so many "christian" people have their boy babies circumcised?.

  if a health issue....why did god create the perfect man, adam, with a foreskin?.

  Whenever, Miz Shirl, is a good time to hear from you.

  Reminds me of an old lady who would always say, "It's a pretty day ain't it?" no matter the weather.

  I can still see her now, 46 years later, at her woodpile with a huge smile on her face.

  greetings, word lovers:.

  in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

  one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

  over many years i have been pondering how mental illness has impacted upon jw's due to the effects of indoctrination.

  in my case; when i was 21 i had a breakdown and was hospitalised for 6 weeks.

  i was diagnosed with anxiety tension state disorder.

  That is interesting, Ruby.

  Thanks.

  One of my grandmas who rarely attended church lived to the age of 104.

  She had a live and let live attitude.

  I don't attend any religious services, but feel a deep connection to whom I believe to be the Creator.

  I believe it's something about the French word dix for dollar?

  This tablet will not load pages and do copies as my laptop did.

  Don't get me wrong; I appreciate my g'son's gift, but sometimes this little baby drives me crazy.

  Very green down in Dixie Land.

  Went for a short walk, and just marveled at the verdant landscape.

  Would have gone farther, but people let their dogs roam freely here.

  Some are friendly, others are not.

  Thanks for sharing that, NJWS.

  My family, Lord, where do I begin?

  Impoverished, illiterate, ignorant Luddites.

  My father was a stone alcoholic, my mother a neurotic-bordering-on-psychotic mess.

  Add to this mixture a dose of Jim Crow and other oppression, stir long and well.

  Do you see why I was a prime target for the JW's teachings?

  JW's vs Evangelicals

  by cobweb in

  2. beliefs

  someone on my twitter timeline has retweeted posts that contain the hashtag youdon'tknowevangelicals.

  it surprised me how familiar a lot of the comments felt to me and i was struck that some of what i think of as jw behavior, mindset and attitude is shared by evangelicals.

  there are differences too of course by read the list of tweets below and see if these sound familiar.

  We are all more alike than different.

  Same hopes, same fears, same needs, same dreams.

  one of the "elephants in the room" which j.w.
