Your View On Capital Punishment
by Dutchie in
1. jw
2. friends
we all know the bible's view on capital punishment.

in fact, in the 1969 edition of aid to bible understanding, the author notes the following: .

"the value of life is considered so sacred by god that the blood of a murdered person is viewed by him as defiling the earth and such defilement can be cleansed only by shedding the blood of the murdered.

Why Ex-JWs Will Never Go From Door to Door
by comforter in

jehovah's witnesses proclaim the good news of the kingdom under the power of god's holy spirit.

jesus commanded his followers to preach in the most distant parts of the earth and promised them that the spirit of god would guide them in this life-saving work (acts 1:8).. without the spirit of god, one cannot continue preaching about jesus and god's kingdom (matthew 24:14).

one surely will not have god's spirit if one preaches a negative message (against jehovah's servants) from door to door.

Pledge of Allegiance

a bill by sen. william ``pete'' knight would require that all california schoolchildren say the pledge of allegiance daily.

under sb 1248, public school teachers would have to lead students in saying the pledge at the beginning of each school day.

this is very interesting, although i seriously doubt it would pass.

i must say that reading all these posts have really brought back so many memories for me.

i had a terrible experience at my hearing, which i believe now, really bordered on sexual abuse of the mental kind.. our congregation was small.

this was difficult for the few young people that attended.

Finding out Who you really are

good morning everyone,.

i'm very new on here--just "born yesterday", as a matter of fact, but am finding out how wonderful it is to be able to be free to express thoughts and opinions, share ideas, give comfort, and find hope, within "these walls".. i'm going to ask a question, and that is, how long did it take any of you souls out there to find your true self, after leaving jw's?

i was very young when i was first introduced to the studies of jw's.
