Dec. 15, 2007 magazine question.
by memphisbelle inwhile sitting at the meeting fighting sleep last sunday, i was reading the magazine and an interesting comment came up !
page 28 heading 4:3, in what way will jehovahs worshipers tread down the wicked?
the paragraph states "gods people on earth will not literally tread down the wicked, that is share in executing his judgement upon them.

It's tough letting go
by B_Deserter inyou know, we all like to talk about how awful the congregations we attended were, but at the end of the day, most of us are here because we need support letting go of our friends and family.
personally, i had and still do have occasionally (because i haven't faded yet) great times with some of my friends.
yeah, it's all based on our religion and they wouldn't be my friends if i didn't believe it.

Pray silently?!? What the heck is this about?
by A-Team ini was just reading memphisbelle's account, and she mentions that the wt says that one is suppose to pray silently so satan wouldn't be able to mess up god's plans.
um, correct me if i am wrong, since i have never been, or will never be a jw....but what the heck kind of logic is this?!?
(especially if you read what the bible says about prayer.

what is this about ??
by memphisbelle ini have been a jw for thirty years, attending meetings at the same kh all this time.
about seven years ago, i began to wonder to myself if the jws were the only religion that god approves of.
six years ago, a very good childhood friend of mine died from a long illness, ( he was not a jw) and i was quite bothered by his death.

Most hated Rules and Regulations
by Bendrr inthe thread about "clinking" got me to thinking.. what were the rules you hated most?
rules that were just so boneheaded as to be infuriating.. there are so many rules and regulations to follow as a dub.
some rules may not even be able to be referenced in the publications, at least not firmly and clearly.
