I have always thought it would be fun to give a JW "you're one year closer to death (or the new system, whichever comes first)" card (because the day of one's death is better than the day of one's birth), but it could be taken the wrong way (especially with a child).

Seriously, you can just say Congratulations on reaching age __! Don't need to mention happy birthday.

Tame animals in the New System

by brotherdan in

i'm having a major issue with this.

how far down the food chain would this go?

on page 112 of the bible teach book, in paragraph 16, the society claims this.. second, jehovah has not helped satan to rule this world.

if god were to prevent horrible crimes, for instance, would he.

not, in effect, be supporting the case of the rebels?

Wow, that is a great find!

i don't have to, fortunately, because i don't share my computer with anyone.. but i've been thinking, with empathy, about those that do.

how far do you go to stop people realizing that you've been here?

do you log in and out every time?

1) Use Private Browsing

2) Clear Recent History Twice for good measure

What's the use of prayer?

by XPeterX in

all these years (especially during my adolesence) i have been praying to that christian god (jehovah,yhwh,god,him,yahweh,jah,almighty) but he has never answered a single prayer of mine.i have lived up to his standards wholeheartedly and with zeal and he spits me in the face every day.he left me when i encountered hardships or even minor difficulties even though i gave my full pottential to worship him.i got fed up with his lies and mistruths and my patience has abandoned me.now it's time for me to turn my back on him in return..

Was the legend about Smurfs being demonic just an urban legend, or was it mentioned in the literature?

i never heard about the smurfs being evil until i joined the forum.

but when i look in the volume library, the word doesn't come up.

i was wondering if anyone ever heard mention of it in the literature--as in, was it an official position?.

There are not any hits for "Smurf" or "Smurfs" in the 2009 Watchtower Library.
