  How did/does your congregation view going out to eat AFTER the Memorial?

  by OneDayillBeFree in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  for us it used to be a big no-no, but i think it has slowly grown more acceptable since many of our elders would be starving during the whole reject jesus party.... i always thought it was a bit funny when i saw brothers and sisters almost celebrating with a big feast and drinks on the night that the good ol' messiah sacrificed himself for all humankind!

  it seems now more recently that since it is the only thing witnessess can celebrate, they go all out!

  maybe i'll join in the festivities too.. so what about you guys?

  in all the congregations that i was in when i was in NZ, it was always a no-no, even after a normal meeting it was considered to be a no-no, however not everyone followed the 'Rules'

  Tiktaalik - A Brief Introduction

  as a young pioneer i always relished opportunities to demonstrate my ignorance of evolution.

  my usual mantra was that all fossils were fully formed fish or amphibians or reptiles or mammals with nothing in-between.

  even back in the 80s this was factually incorrect, but following a discovery by neil shubin and his team in 2004 the matter has been put beyond reasonable doubt.. one of the biggest gulfs that life has had to cross was the transition from sea to dry land.. fish have conical shaped heads, reptiles have flat heads.

  I just asked the JW website for a home visit...

  i just went and filled out the form asking to be visited.

  i hope they come soon so i can work my super apostate magic!

  uh, if the super apostate magic doesn't work, i'll just let my huge great danes out onto the porch and freak the witnesses out followed by kicking them off my front porch... .

  Are you an athiest and why?

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm interested in finding out people's reasons as to why they are athiest.. i have simply through life experience, my research into religions over the years come to that conclusion.

  never thought i would come to a day that i did not believe in a god.

  believing in a god is like believing in super man, it would be great if he existed but well it's just a fairy tale.

  Catholics know more about WTS history than most JWs do!

  this is a very concise and i would say accurate history of the wts and given a much more kindly and sympathetic examination than the catholics have ever received from the wts.. i'm impressed.. http://www.catholic.com/tracts/history-of-the-jehovahs-witnesses.

  they got 1 thing wrong, it was't the return of jesus the jw's (bible students) were looking forward to in 1914, but the arrival of armageddon, jesus had already returned in the 1870s.
