  MY APOLOGIES TO ALL

  by Mary in

  looking back over the last few weeks, i think i've been unnessarily rude to some posters and i just want to apologize to anyone who has been on the receiving end of my anger recently.. i believe that i'm so angry, dismayed, devastated and heartbroken over what's happening to my brother in law, that i've been taking it out on others and that's not right.

  it makes absolutely no difference what i think of the wts as a whole, or whether or not americans have a universal healthcare system......none of that makes any difference whatsoever when someone you love and has been like your brother for 35 years is dying and there's not a fucking thing we can do about it.. my sister just called me and there's more bad news, and that's that his disease has now progressed into the acute myeloid leukemia which means he cannot start the therapy they were going to give him, as this is far more serious now.

  they want to start chemo right away, but his blood counts aren't up high enough for him to survive.

  QUESTION TO JW REGARDING THE DOCTRINE OF 144,000

  by Celestialfrontier in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am not a jehovah's witness, and until yesturday i never knew the beliefs of your congregation.

  when i did finally read them, i was amazed to discover that most of what the lord has revealed to me as truth, through my prayers and studies, is found in your beliefs.

  and out of all the christian denominations that exist, "most" of your beliefs are according to the word of god, unlike the other churches.. .

  The problem is that this is not based on the scriptures. That is why it is going to change. JW's believe that it is a literal #, even when the whole book of revelation if full of figurative #'s.

  2. beliefs

  i've done a jwn search on beards and had some great reads.. i've learned the history of russell vs. rutherford and knorr and the hippies.. here's what i'd like to hear about.. either you or someone you know who grew a beard and the fallout because of it.. for me, i'd love to hear about the squeaky clean elder who decided to grow a beard and got removed because of it.. katie kitten, from england, on another thread told the story of her dad, the squeaky clean elder who grew a beard in the 70's and got away with it.. i don't think that would happen in california 2009.. anyway, what are your beard stories?.

  i'm all ears.

  (and my ears are freshly plucked.

  My grandmother hates my beard. I told her that I will never shave it again so that everytime she sees me she can think about all of the man made rules that she is following.
