  my oldest daughter once worked at a convenience store/gas station for a muslim gentleman.. he had two sons - the older one @ university, and the younger worked with my daughter.. well, my daughter said the younger was blackmailing the older because the older was in possession of a bible!.

  she also said the young man confessed to her that he often times went to a soul food joint way out in the country and ordered pork chops.

  she said he told her they tasted soooo good.. lol.. sylvia.

  I know of some who thought about joining the Nation of Islam, but refused to give up neckbones.

  True.

  Does the Average R&F JW understand what grace is in Christianity ?

  by smiddy in

  2. beliefs

  i`m showing my ignorance here , not being an active member of any church before joining jw`s as a 19 yr old ,whenever i was ever confronted with the question of "grace" i was always at a loss to give an effective answer from a jw point of view.. was it just me ?

  or did anybody else have a similar experience ?.

  (ps , i dont think i ever heard the expression " grace" in a religious sense in all my 33 years in the borg.studying the wt.).

  Not under law, but grace...

  That and justification - if the Master sets you free from condemnation, who's to question Him?

  Love it.

  Amazing Grace!

  One of the most-loved Christian hymns, recognized throughout the inhabited Earth.

  Who can sing it, hum it, play it, and not be moved?

  Only those whose hearts have hardened by the teachings of a misguided organization such as the WT.

  What was it like being a JW in the 1960's and 1970's

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  2. experiences

  this is obviously a question for the older generation.

  i'm really curious what it was like to be a witness in the 60's and 70's?.

  was the society as strict as it is today?.

  Amen, TD.

  The word religion comes from a root meaning to bind.

  Like in a family, a community.

  Bound in love, not fear.

  I was baptized in 1974, and I remember a loving brotherhood.

  Came the 80's, and all havoc broke loose.

  Oh, but the heart begs to differ.

  Spring 1971 was the happiest I ever remember, and I continue to measure each milestone in my life against that season.

  I used to feel a slight twinge of guilt that even my baptism as a JW didn't measure up to it.

  LOL.

  Love and blessings.
