  Mormons vs. Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Downtowner in

  forgive me if this has been covered before but i haven't seen anything about it recently.. in exploring the two faiths, mormons vs. jehovah's witnesses, which were both founded in the 1800s with the mormons being slightly a slightly older religion it seems mormons is a more attractive religion than jehovah's witnesses.

  do not get me wrong, i'm not looking at joining the mormon church.

  but i still enjoy studying other faiths and different belief systems.

  Assistance requested before someone ends up spending mucho $$$$!

  hi everyone... i have a "hypothetical" situation... here's the issue: i have an "ex" (baptised but no longer involved with the jws)... we got divorced legally, but not for "scriptual" reasons (not because of adultery) said ex has now moved away but it has been found out that they are living with a member of the opposite sex.

  same mailing address, single family home, etc.

  is this enough grounds for disfellowshipping?

  there would never be a good time to have this conversation.

  quite different from most people raised a witness, i have very few horror stories about my upbringing.

  my family was just a family, my mom and dad fought and argued, my siblings and i misbehaved and got in trouble.. .

  i bought some for my husbands lunch.

  they are in snack size....so i don't have to handle them.

  well, problem is hubby doesn't want them at work cause it will give him "dorito breath".

  thanks so much for the really warm welcome.

  just a small confession .. my last post was actually written a couple months ago before i'd gotten the nerve to post.

  i copied and pasted it ... and forgot to update it.. my wedding came off in december 2006, and my mom did attend.

  i've lately become addicted to amazon.com.

  especially when i found out that you can buy used books as low as $2 to a penny.

  anyway...so i was surfing around and i thought, ''i wonder if they have any instruments...'' and they do.

  i thought i would let you know that my dad, passed away a little while ago, tonight, january 23. they called me at 6pm to tell me.

  he had been failing rapidly for the past month, and had completely lost his hearing and was totally blind.

  the dementia was extreme too, and he still knew me on thursday, but didn't wake up to know me in the following days.

  Conceited Witnesses

  by TheListener in

  2. friends

  lately several of the threads on the board have dealt with some really deep spiritual and biblical topics.

  i love reading everyone's opinions and seeing links to even more detailed opinions.

  it has made me think though.. when i was a strong dub i thought i knew everything about the bible and couldn't wait to 'get into it' with a catholic or protestant priest.

  Ah! Thursday! Meeting Night!

  after i left the jws and moved out, it was weird having all these evenings to myself.

  i think sunday was the easiest day to get used to without meetings.

  it just made my weekend a bit longer.
