  Are you a dabbler in Witchcraft?

  by StopTheTears in

  after leaving christianity it's common especially among the young to experiment with witchcraft.

  some get drawn into it by getting involved with earth movements and back to nature groups.. .

  witchcraft is an evil thing.

  What's evil about witchcraft is that they don't worship the bronze-age war-god of the ancient Hebrew texts. It is nothing more than that.

  Oh, and the dabbling.

  What was the recent change made regarding baptisms?

  just saw a post by splash on the commision transcript thread: (pasted below).

  we had a talk at our hall recently, basically saying that there have been lots of letters written to the uk branch, questioning and complaining about a new change introduced for the baptisms at the sad and ca.. the talk did not try to reason, it did not try to explain.. the talk was "do as you are told, don't question what you are told".. we were told to do as the song instructs us "listen, obey and be blessed".. we were told that this change was from jehovah so keep up with his chariot.. i think this talk was given in quite a few locations around the country.. what was that all about please?.

  Wow, the UK is WAY behind the USA with that change. I was just a kid when they last baptized as part of the session here in the USA and I'm 45 now.

  i usually shop for most things at wal mart but i have learned some things at publix and kroger are cheaper than wal mart.

  if you are conscious shopper, tell me what things do you buy at each store to save some money!

  i am thinking about being a member of bj, if you know of any good deals at bj, let me know too.

  Are there levels of mumbo-jumbo, cantleave? Or do you put all mumbo-jumbo in the same pile? Personally, I think the topic of this thread is hilarious because it's one form of mumbo-jumbo believing in, yet misrepresenting and castigating another form of mumbo-jumbo.

  It's easier to show reverence for a book written by bronze-age goat-herders and their imaginary sky-friend than to show reverence for realities.

  Humans are strange aren't we?

  Thoughts on the new AAWA video and other things!!

  by iamwhoiam in

  so does this mean aawa is going to stop shunning?

  are they themselves not guilty of shunning those who shun?

  shunning can never be stopped no matter how bad you want it to.

  Educating the public, non-JWs, will help prevent people from joining and bring awkward questions toward JWs in the workplace.

  Nobody thinks the Borg is going to change its policies.

  There is a social group, a meme group, and an activist group. Did you post it in the meme group or in one of the "wrong" places?
