i would like some advice.
some of you know that me and mrs anti just had our first child (girl).
okay here is the problem.
Anti-Christ:
there are more important things then a good education and being loving parents
None that I can think of. Your mother-in-law needs to understand that to you, the needs of your child come before her wishes. Keep reminding her until she gets it.

I am quite intelligent and have been told this numerous times by real world people, not XJW's.
Were these the same people who told you you were good looking?
the orthodox muslim faith is a constant source of debate in the western world today, and it would be obvious to draw a parallel between saras dilemma and the difficult situation of young muslim girls in a western country like denmark today.
director niels arden oplev has openly stated that this was a parallel he had in mind when he made to verdener.. .
sara goes proselytizing with her father (jens jrn spottag) and younger sister (sarah juel werner).

Did you get a refund for the items you purchased, or did CD-WOW defraud you?If items were sent to the wrong address, was this CD-WOW's fault? (Usually you enter your own address, and that's what's printed on the shipping label.) Did the missing items eventually turn up or did CD-WOW refund you?
I got a full refund, but I was very unhappy with the customer service. Firstly, I shouldn't have been able to purchase items that weren't actually in stock. It should be fairly simple for an online retailer to say whether an item is in stock or not, and not actually charge my credit card if not. Also, it didn't check whether I still wanted the other items even though I bought them all in a single transaction. They had lured me to the site with low prices on items they didn't have - and would never have at that price. But the main thing was that instead of sending them to the address I typed in, they sent them to my "default address", actually an address where my girlfriend used to live and I had had items sent about four years previously. At no time did this address appear on my screen, and I had chosen to have them delivered to my billing address. Rather than acknowledge their mistake, they decided that because they had already sent the items out, I should go to that address and see if the items had arrived. It took several days of me bombarding them with emails before they admitted their mistake and refunded my money.
Maybe I've had unusually good service and everyone else feels as you do ...
They're probably fine most of the time; I'd used them in the past and found them excellent, but it's only when something goes wrong that you find out how well a company is run. I now know that if I shop at CD WOW and there's a technical problem on their side, I will have major difficulties getting my money back. I'd rather spend my money with a company who will acknowledge and fix their mistakes quickly.
i guarantee you, if everyone in the united states were allowed to carry a gun on their hip, people would treat each other with alot more respect.. warlock .

Care to back that up with anything other than your worthless "guarantee"?
in the wbts publication "jehovah's day" on page 33 it says this: .
over the centuries, satan has tried to prove that if humans are given an incentive to do otherwise, they will not serve jehovah.
you know that satan has failed.

Indeed. The past three Caliber posts are the quintessential perfect example.
They're more an example of what happens when humans don't use reason.
vatican says "yahweh" not to be pronounced .
calls on practice used by 1st christians .
washington, d.c., aug. 19, 2008 (zenit.org).- a note from the vatican has reiterated a directive that the name of god revealed in the tetragrammaton yhwh is not to be pronounced in catholic liturgy.
sir82:
For a JW, their "trump card" is Luke 4:16-21, where Jesus reads from Isaiah's scroll and YHWH appears twice in the readng. "Surely Jesus, who knew how to pronounce God's name, would not bow to Jewish superstition and say 'Lord' instead."
Except that in the original Greek text of Luke, he did say "Lord". Only the NWT spuriously inserts "Jehovah" where the original text said "Lord". So it's not much of an argument.
In my opinion, the Divine Name should only be pronounced if you've had a really really good piece of halibut.
i still have the jws beliefs, but havent attended in probably 5 years or so.
i have an interesting question to ask.. as much as everyone slams the jws on here, i want some insite on politics.
now i watched the democratic covention the last few nights, and i really want a democrat myself, but couldnt help hearing bill, hillary and other democrats wanting not only wanting equal rights for all races, children, but also homosexuals.
BR25:
bill, hillary and other democrats wanting not only wanting equal rights for all races, children, but also HOMOSEXUALS. Now as much as everyone slams the JWs wouldnt that be against bible principles of any religious person who would vote for this???
It would certainly be against a literalist interpretation of the Bible. But following such an interpretation would often - quite rightly - get you arrested in most civilised countries. Those of us who don't believe the Bible to be the word of God, and many people who do, simply do not want to live under the oppressive inhumane laws of the Old Testament. We treat all people as equals because it is the only fair way to behave. We follow the Golden Rule of Jesus rather than the megalomaniacal dictates of his father.
jaguarbass:
I recomend you read some David Icke.
Worst. Recommendation. Ever.
David Icke believes the world is controlled by trans-dimensional reptiles. He believes the queen of England is actually a giant lizard. Best not to pay too much heed to his ravings.
this little rant is pointed towards a particular somebody who has found it necessary to blanket all of the jwd users here with generic solicitations for their website and newsletter.
usually i let this kind of stuff go but this particular individual imo is quite crass in their style and delivery in supposedly 'exposing' the watchtower.
as such i want to state on the record that i don't care about what you have to say, your methods are stupid.
Agreed. I wish such self-aggrandising plagiarists would crawl back into their cocoons.

easyrider1970:
My twisted thinking is this: Was Satan really shown to be wrong, at least according to Witness theology? Many people have continued to "serve Jehovah" but most people are continuing to choose to not serve Jehovah, whatever their incentive to not do so is supposed to be.
Yeah, it seems a bit unfair that Satan has to have a 100% record in order to win. You'd think the 99.9% of the world who follow him (according to JW theology) would be enough to win. But Jehovah is a sore loser, so not only is he going to claim victory but he's going to destroy everyone else, which because of his own poor showing is a vast number of people.
yes, so my children talking to mom i hear "no we dont go to meetings anymore" and i'm thinking "crap!!".
so then the phone gets passed to me.. and my husband is of course out of town for this.
i get asked point blank if we're witnesses anymore.. and i said "no we're not".
New light for you:
I'm not going to be able to talk to you anymore
Don't let anybody say this to you. She is choosing not to talk to you; she is not unable to choose otherwise. Do what you can to force her to acknowledge that her shunning you is an act of free will. The least she can do when behaving so reprehensibly is to take responsibility for her own actions.
