  another gem from the same edition - article to be studied december 28 - january 3 (which most will miss lol coz of summer vacation) entitled "what do your prayers say about you?

  19 when we are being represented in public prayer, we need to display reverential "fear of god.

  LaidOff Bethelites: Weeping And Gnashing of Teeth

  by metatron in

  don't let any of the watchtower's propaganda deceive you.

  i encountered some private conversations among witnesses about the subject and it's ugly.

  yes, there is suffering as many of these victims try to live on charity and can't find jobs in the worst economy since the depression.. some of their private observations include shock that you need a college degree for nearly any job and that the watchtower society couldn't have picked a worse time to do this to them .. all the while these complaints are discussed, i try not to show that i am astounded by their bizarre "logic".

  So what kind of atavism will have a 4th generation JW? :-)

  Hypothetical Question for Christians

  by Sad emo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is a purely hypothetical scenario but needs some deep soul-searching to answer methinks!.

  suppose you die and you come to stand before god at the judgement.. you've lived a good, sincere christian life and put full faith in christ's sacrifice etc.. and god says "you're hellbound".

  how do you think you'd feel towards him/what would you say..

  OnTheWayOut,

  Ha ha ha. The mormons is the right answer! Amazingly they look like the Jehovah Witness I know. Check this site: http://eternaverdad.ning.com/photo
