  Can't eat goat boiled in milk

  by Satanus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one of the ot laws is to not boil a young goat in it's mother's milk, and eat it.

  would that be the same as eating egg noodles in chicken soup?

  just wondering.

  Something(s) I always wondered about...

  by KenseiShimonzu in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  was,if jehovah was going to bring about armegeddon to destroy the "wicked"humans who may live an average of 75 yrs +/-,who may not even know of him in their lifetime..why would he allow satan,who was directly associated with him,to exist for as long as he has?..seems to me,it would have been an instantaneous destruction because he already knew better..it would have been worse than blasphemy.. he even allowed him complete control over the earth to do as he wishes...also,if he isn't destroyed at some point,how would humans know?

  no human can see spirit creatures..therefore there could be no proof that he didn't exist anymore(i.e a body).

  another thing that has always bugged me about that whole scenario..why would "jehovah" the supreme creator,have the need to justify his right to rule,to a lesser spirit creature that he created...i liken it to a son telling his father that he knows better than the father about how the household should be run....sort of a moot point.

  December 25th for Christmas from Paganism?

  by cabasilas in

  i know i've heard this a lot...that the december 25th date for christmas was borrowed from paganism.

  i just came across this article which argues against that:.

  http://touchstonemag.com/archives/article.php?id=16-10-012-v. personally, i have no problems with the idea that it could have been borrowed from paganism, but found this alternative explanation intriguing..

  What JW Beliefs Did You...

  by Abandoned in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what jw beliefs did you make up for your own sanity?.

  for me it was regarding the flood.

  instead of believing that god had destroyed millions of people, i imagined that because of all the violence, by the time the flood came, the only people besides noah and his family that were still alive were the nephilim.

  Why does'nt the WTS give away free books,magazines,and tracts ?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  did you ever ask yourself:.

  if we are living in ''the last days'',why doesn't the wts advertise free literature over the internet,newspaper,or radio?.

  why don't they use all the funds they collect from the sale of all the real estate properties and give away free literature since this is ''life saving work?

  Self-Esteem Shot To Pieces - No Friends

  by wheelintheskykeepsonturning in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  school sucked for me as a witness.. i always wanted to be popular, have friends, have a girlfriend, go to parties, play after school sport, stay the night at friends places, do all the other stuff which was fun and made you socially acceptable - which made you feel normal - but was disallowed because i was a witness child.. i thought everything everyone did at school was a direct test of satan on me.

  that's what i was told.. so i tried to go through school living a "double life".

  i desperatley wanted to be obidient to my witness mother who i loved so much and have her approval... so while i tried hard to pretend i wasn't a witness at school - for fear of being ostracized by my peers - i also was obviously "different" to my friends...and because of this i took a lot of shit for it and eventually became unpopular to the point where i dropped out of high school because i thought no one liked me.. for example: i would never "go out" with girls who wanted to go out with me... because i was afraid they would ring my home and my mum would be "disappointed in me" and angry and upset at me.
