  Respect - what is it?

  by Norm in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  aretha franklin sings about respect and the word is frequently used in all languages.. the definition of the word can be : respect, esteem, regard -- (an attitude of admiration or esteem, held in esteem).

  many people seem to think that respect automatically follows a position or office, like for instance a president, a bishop, a prime minister or similar lofty titles.

  others hold that respect has to be earned and shouldn't be automatic and points to the often obvious fact that some people holding high offices often show themselves to be utter bastards and corrupt crooks that deserves no respect.

  The $20 Bill

  by Amazing1914 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this note bears the image of andrew jackson, 7th president of the us, 1829-1837. as president, he got congress to pass a law that evicted all native indian tribes from all territory east of the mississippi river to the west.

  the cherokee tribe living in the state of georgia chose to file suit against the us government instead of going on the war path.

  the case went all the way to the us supreme court.

  Warm Shock On A Cold Day

  2. friends

  for those of you that know my background, you know that my only sibling, a sister (nonjw) disowned me back in the '70s along with my parents when i became a jw.

  when i daed myself in '99, i wrote them and apologized for making a terrible mistake, etc and heard nothing.

  i just got an email from my sister asking for my address because she wants to write to me, and she signed it "love, your little sis"..

  Would Jesus shun anyone?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can't imagine jesus shunning anyone.

  on the contrary, he went towards those who needed help the most.

  if the jw's followed jesus footsteps, they wouldn't shun.

  The Society's Jewish Matrix

  by Greenpalmtreestillmine in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  they are more jewish than gentile in every sense.

  they are more christianized jew than any other christian religion, imo.

  if jesus were to look for a religious home close to the first century religious home he lived in i believe the witnesses would both negatively and positively fit the bill.

  'This Generation'

  by fairchild in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yes, again... after reading numerous posts on this site and doing some research on my own, i have a strong feeling that my whole belief will soon stand or fall with the understanding of 'this generation'.. matthew 24:3 .."tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?".

  matthew 24:7 for nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another.. matthew 24:34 truly i say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.. .

  generation:noun: group of genetically related organisms constituting a single step in the line of descent noun: the normal time between successive generations example: "they had to wait a generation for that prejudice to fade".
