  Would/Do you wear a Cross around your neck ??

  by Prisca in

  2. friends

  after all that we had drummed into us about not the cross, and particularly about not venerating the symbol itself, i have been wondering about this issue.. so, what are your views about wearing a cross around your neck ?

  is it just a fashion accessory, or does it mean something to you ?.

  inquiring minds would like to know

  how credible are nwt's critiques?

  : allin and john 8:58.a few weeks ago we had a discussion surrounding john 8.58. the posters in this forum offered various views in regards to jesus' divine role in scripture.

  occasionally, some scholars publish articles where they voice their opinion against the nwt theological renderings.

  Wonderment, lots of information here, and I am sad to say I only read part of it . A semi-brief note of its conclusions (like the part where you underlined) and a link would be more to my liking. I know a lot of people wont click on a link but can come up with a google search with the same information.

  caveat 1: those who believe jesus is truly the son of god may wish to avoid this post.

  although my thoughts are only proposed for mild amusement and interest and in no way intended to offend, for some, the concept behind the idea may be an affront to preciously held beliefs.

  if that’s likely to be the case, kindly just don’t read.

  if anyone had to guess, what do you think the average age of the community actually is?.

  are more millennials actually waking up or is it pretty even amongst previous generations as well?

  A nice vacation in another area may help with a move... you scope out a place and check out the child/teen friendly places. If the kiddos are interested in something not quite forbidden, encourage them. Budding artist or skateboarder? Speak with a school teacher or counselor too..

  Moving to an area with good schools is so important. Put the kibosh on vacation pioneering. If the kids have a school assignment help them at the library. Skills on the computer will help them.

  Pay attention to your children; they will show you what their interests are.
