Regarding Maturity.......
by Golden Girl in
1. jw
2. friends
i was reading a post by ip_sec and he mentioned "maturity"..it just so happened i found a interesting jw site and was reading some of their posts... i noticed one of the poster's was talking about maturity and what it was.

he quoted an article from the watchtower dtd 9/1/96 pg 22... and i quote:to grow to maturity, we have to use our own perceptive powers, not always relying on someone else to give us the answers.

i thought this was a pretty good thought..but unlike the wtbts... the first word i thought of when reading this quote was..what's the word i'm looking for.....oh yeah... hypocrites!.

Why don't JW's list THEIR invitation?
by Golden Girl in
1. jw
2. friends
i always wondered why the jw religion doesn't list their location and invitation to their meetings in the local "church and worship places section of our paper?.

i was told when i was a jw that it is because they are no part of "babylon the great".

i settled for that.. .
