  Jws and urban myths!

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jws sure love urban myths.

  the jws have their own collection built up over many years, part of their own unique worldwide jw culture.

  i've come across the same ones in america that i've heard in australia, and they pass from legend to myth and finally reality as quoted from the platform.

  2. announcements

  long, long time lurker and great fan of the site - first time poster.

  i am not sure if i am truly a lurker since that implies i am apostate-curious.

  in fact, i have been mentally out completely for a long time, but still physically in like many of you.

  Robots

  i was reading the incredibly fascinating posts on the "something i heard from our lord" topic, and noticed something that piqued my curiousity.

  the jws always say that eve wasn't really guilty of wrongdoing, but rather adam.

  after eating from the tree, adam became like god, knowing good and evil.

  http://www.smh.com.au/world/religious-groups-reject-ruling-on-circumcision-20120628-2159v.html.

  jewish and muslim groups in germany have condemned a court ruling that deemed circumcision to be equivalent to grievous bodily harm.. the court, in cologne, declared this week that the procedure violated a child's ''fundamental right to bodily integrity''.

  religious groups said the ruling trampled on freedom of belief and could lead to ''circumcision tourism''.. the ruling said: ''the body of the child is irreparably and permanently changed by a circumcision.

  Loyalty Keeps Us Morally Clean

  by sd-7 in

  a rebellion had begun.

  in moses' absence, the israelites built a golden calf and engaged in idolatrous reveling.

  the clamor of their immoral festivities was clearly identifiable as improper.

  Michael Jursa (British Museum) and 587 vs. 607 B.C.

  by Dogpatch in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this was sent to me as a comment for free minds.

  the author says, i'm not sure if you are aware of this fact or not: if you look at the awake!

  may 2009 pg 11 , it says that jerusalem siege was in 607, according to professor michael jursa working in the british museum, but curiously if you go to the british museum official webpage, (in "search" put michael jursa) you ll see that it says the siege of jerusalen was in 587 bc !!.

  An Explanation of why TIME TRAVEL does not work

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  energy and matter are neither created nor destroyed.. consequently, the building blocks of existence are actually finite parts.. to create things in "tomorrow" which are new, something has to be dismantled to leave spare parts for tomorrow's new thing.. the old thing deteriorates, (dies/disintegrates) and the parts become available to make the new thing.. time travel requires going to a place where today's parts are available to be rearranged.. some of today's things persist as they are, of course.

  they only travel through time by persisting as they are.

  (mountains, for example.).

  you should not have to choose between your religion and family ! (awake mag quote)

  by looloo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last summer there was a big upset caused by an article (july ,ithink) in the awake about a hindu lady that upset her family by leaving her religion and joining jehovahs witnesses and the ironic thing was it had the above quote in it , that someone should not have to choose between family and religion !

  i printed the article off and underlined that section , and recently sent it to my inlaws along with a letter , because they are upset about not seeing their grandchild because they banned their son from the house (he sdisfellowshipped) i am trying to sort the situation out , and i thought they might notice the hypocrisy in the article , however that idea did not work as apparently" there are lies on the internet !

  " and father in law was not very happy to receive it , but it is from an awake magazine ,watchtower literature !
