  Stumbling Your Fellow Brothers

  by dig692 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just felt the need to express my thoughts on the matter of "stumbling others" in the congregation.

  they tell you that you are accountable for your own soul and responsible for your own spirituality, and then they tell you that you can't do something if its going to stumble your brother.. if a brother/sister sees me doing something not condemned in the bible but maybe is a matter of conscience and he/she is stumbled...why is that my fault?

  what makes me accountable for that?

  Democrats WANT Babies to Die

  hahahahaha!....i heard this from a jw today!

  they said, "i don't know which is which, but one of them is more conservative (i said 'i think that's republicans) and tend to do things more along the lines of the bible.

  and then the other party (democrats) is kind of wild and pushes for abortions and gay marriage.

  Swedish government declines to give JW financial support

  by InquiryMan in

  quite recently, watchtower in sweden applied for governmental financial support, as they are entitled to as a registered religious community.

  however, the government declined to accept the application, stating that the reason was that the jws do not adhere to democratic values and standards and do not support mainstream values.. the witnesses are upset, because they feel discriminated against.

  they state that the financial issue is not the real issue, but to be treated in a similar way as other religious communities.. they have appealed the decision and plan to send a report explaining the witnesses views in more detail.. the branch office chose the religious, pentecostal (assembly of god) newspaper "dagen" to make an interview.. here is the photo report of the article.. .

  Which is your favourite single malt Scotch Whisky, and why?

  by lifelong humanist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a true scot, i'm deeply passionate about most things scottish, any possibly one of our small nation's most successful export is my main favourite - our single malt whisky heritage.. i'm writing this while savouring a 12 year old highland park - distilled in the orkney islands, the most northerly distillery in scotland.

  it is one of my favourites - it was my late father's favourite tipple.

  yet, only 500m from my house is scotlands oldest legal whisky distillery - glenturret, in crieff.

  What's the difference between a Muslim Suicide bomber and a Jehovah's Witness?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i would say just the bomb!.

  one case involved a teenage muslim girl with burn scars on her face....her bomb failed to detonate so she clawed at her face in frustration...she was hoping to end her pain by going to "paradise" to be perfect.

  witnesses claim if the die due to lack of blood or due to nuetrality it's okay!

  Gardening in Houston

  by jeanniebeanz in

  2. friends

  does anyone else garden along the gulf coast?

  i used to be able to grow just about anything in northern cali, but since moving to houston, i have a devil of a time with my garden and flower beds.

  they seem to be plagued with everything from insects to fungus and the amount of chemical solutions that the garden centers here recommend would poison the entire planet to the nth generation.
