  LET'S SAY, TODAY YOU HAD TO JOIN A CULT . . .

  by Terry in

  2. beliefs

  and by "cult" i mean any organized religious group outside of the mainstream--.

  which one would you select?.

  let's say you were compelled to remain an active member for one year--which one do you choose and why?.

  I had a Tarot card reading

  by LisaRose in

  so, i am in washinton state visiting my son and his family and we went to a concert that had a fortune tellers booth, actually a gypsy wagon.

  i decided to do something no jw would ever do, have a tarot card reading.

  i wasn't really expecting anything, as i don't believe they are connected with the satan, but i don't believe they can actually read your future either.

  Question for current and former elders: did you feel qualified to give counsel for depression?

  by kneehighmiah in

  2. friends

  do you feel the counseling demands placed on elders are fair and scriptural?.

  i live in an economically depressed industial city.

  my dad is an elder in a lower income black congregation.

  I wouldn't presume to have any skills in counselling. I am OK at listening.

  My time as an elder taught me absolutely nothing.

  JW.ORG TRADEMARK DENIED

  by NAVYTOWN in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i saw on another forum that the trademark application for the 'jw.org' logo had been denied by the trademark office.

  it is too similar to the logo of another company.

  there is an appeals process that presumably gives the watchtower a chance to get the decision reversed.

  Well said sparky! I get so pissed with the idiots on here who make shit up and then preach it as gospel. I am far more likely to treat Barbara Anderson's research with credibility than the nutty conspiracies of Caleb's Airplane.

  It also does give a decent moral compass.

  Like hell it does. How is shunning family members "good morals"?How is hoping billions die so you can inherit the Earth ""good morals"? How is wanting innocent children to die "good morals"? How is protecting paedophiles "good morals"? How is encouraging people to refuse life saving treatment "good morals"?

  The orgainsation is led by amoral assholes.
