i was looking through a relatives photo album last weekend and saw pictures of their trip to an international convention in asia in the early 1990s.

on the final day the local bro & sis were all holding placards with phrases such as see you in paradise.. that reminded me of the last international i went to in sydney about 5 years ago, same thing happened on the last day, similar placards with similar phrases.

there was also a lot of random hugging of bro & sis in international costumes.

Why is Eve the bad "guy"?

by highdose in

just a thought.

lets just say for a moment that we belive the bible account of eve eating the forbidden fruit.

the bible clearly states that she was decived and thats why she ate.

I guess because she did it first?

You could always send it in a mass email to every JW you know, from an email address not associated with you of course

Fantastic news! Going to college is definitely worthwhile if you can afford it. I have a Bachelors degree (won't say in what, that would be a giveaway), and it feels nice to have finished something. May have taken 4yrs, but was so worth it.

May I suggest teaching? You would make an excellent one I think :)

There are some photos of the recent conventions doing the rounds on email, with the same sort of phrases you mentioned. Nauseating for sure!

Abortions are evil since Jehovah "see's even the embryo" yet killing worldly babies at Armagedon is okay!

by Witness 007 in

yes the bible says "jehovah see's the embryo and all it's parts are down in writting..." so abortion is evil and murder according to the watchtower.

how is this different to the gret jehovah killing millions of babies at armagedon because their parents said "not interested" to brothers during witnessing?

those babies are not yet "self aware.

What's the view on IVF? I've always wondered that, seeing as the Dr implants fertilised embryos. Does that mean that as a witness, ALL fertilised embryos need to be put into the womb? Otherwise, the other ones would be considered as 'life'....
