  Heres a good joke does it remind you of someone ?

  by oldflame in

  religious nutsthere were four country churches in a small texas town: the presbyterian church, the baptist church, the methodist church and the jehovah's witnesses.

  each church was overrun with pesky squirrels.

  one day, the presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about the squirrels.

  Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter.

  Are the doctrines "translated" into normal church terms so that non-JW exposed would get the joke, or is it just wrong?

  What's the big deal with 2014?

  by inkling in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why do so many people here attach any significance to the year 2014,. or more accurately, think that current jws will?.

  when the year 2014 rolls around, and still no end of the world, why.

  should anyone, including the witnesses, care?.

  sure, it happens to be a nice round number past the imaginary
  return of Jesus, but I don't see why this will be a big deal-
  after all, they have already been waiting 93 years, what is
  a few more?

  we 5-fingered animals sure are obsessed with our arbitrarydecimal-based numbering system.

  Is the "My Book of Bible Stories" appropriate reading for Little Ones?

  by Princess Daisy Boo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my little boy, aged 4 1/2 loves his bedtime stories, and also loves "jesus stories" as he calls them... .

  now, i have never gotten around to going to a book store and actually buying a childrens bible story book from the shops (yes...i still have a bit of a mental block and some deep seated issues about any religious literature).

  my mom gave my kids a copy of the bible story book, as well as listening to the great teacher (the new soft cover book - think it is called that?

  I was once walking down a steep hill (ski slope during a autumn festival) and I absent-mindedly,
  but intentionally, kicked a rock with my foot. It was about the size of a orange, and it started
  bounce-rolling down the hill until it was taking great bounding leaps...

  right towards a group of little kids milling around some pumpkins.

  It missed a child's head by a few feet.

  I never felt so lucky and stupid simultaneously.

  A fair and reasonable question for Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Gregor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  your organization has always been intently focused on "witnessing" and this includes going right up to strangers homes, knocking on their door attempting to engage them in a discussion of their beliefs.

  you come prepared to point out the error of whatever faith they hold.

  doctrines such as immortality of the soul, the trinity and eternal torment in hell you declare as false teachings and can back up your assertions with scriptures and skilled argument.

  1930s Article on Disfellowshipping

  by Shepherd Book in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  back when i was just lurking on this board, someone posted some information from an old wtower or awake!

  that showed the society was against disfellowshipping.

  the society said it hurt people, and that if people choose to disagree with the borganization, they should have full liberty of conscience to do so.

  ok, i see this as clearly hypocritical, but I don't see how it is any different from the current view... The same thing would be said today: that millions of people are trapped in their "false church" out of fear of being disowned by their circle, and are persecuted by other church members when they question their faith. However, once you "escape" and find the "TRUE" church, you are no longer allowed to question it. what has changed? [ink]

  “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” -Albert Einstein

  And if I had the "courage" to believe that the earth is flat, would that gain the approval of Mr. Einstein?
