july 11, 2011 will be 34 years since i was baptised as one of jw's.
the sleeping pill i took was in the form of them providing the information that made the bible come alive with the truth and insisting that they go by the bible not adding or taking away from it.
i had negative experiences from local brothers from time to time, however i excused them as part of being imperfect.
alg1052, welcome to the forum!
I am aso an active witness, mainly for the sake of my marriage. I do not believe that Jehovah's Witnesses are the one true religion on this earth.
In regards to Hebrews 10:24-25, Matthew 18:20 may shed some light on "gathering of yourselves together".
been a while since i was posting on here; how come most of you have the hand-drawn avatar things?
do you make your own?
where are they from?.

whatever happened to the kingdom interlinear translation of the greek scriptures?part 1. print/download: pdfdoc.
the watchtower says on page 5 of the 1985 edition of the kit:.
there is no definite article in the greek before the word god in john 1:6, yet the wt translates it god, with a capital g!.
The 1985 version of the KIT can still be ordered through your local kingdom hall. Not many know about it, so not many order it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emphatic_Diaglott can also be ordered through the local kingdom hall.
meaning the anniversary of the day she came into the world.
would a jw typically be offended by that?
she's a convert and a true believer.
I would say "Happy one year closer to your death". When she asks why you can quote the scripture "the day of one's death is better than the day of one's being born", which tends to turn up in articles that say why we should not celebrate birthdays.

Just a disclaimer, that's my personal belief. The official Jehovah's Witness belief is different.

There are different beliefs on this. And that's all they are, beliefs.
I tend to go with the simplest explanation:
i've heard the distinction between microevolution and macroevolution a lot, especially from intelligent design arguments.
microevolution being defined as changes or adaption within a species, and macroevolution being changes from one species to another.
my impression is that there really is no such meaningfule distinction between macro and micro in the modern scientific sense of evolutionary theory.
I'm noticing more and more witnesses willing to accept "micro" but not "macro." Granted, many of these are ill-informed as to what the implications of either really are. These are also the same ones who will use the word "adaptation" but not the word "evolution."
There was the special issue of the Awake! a few years ago that discussed the finches demonstrated, "at best" the ability to adapt to the environment. When I read that, I realized that they were admitting that the basic evolutionary processes do indeed happen. I also remember reading about the different "kinds" of dogs that came from one dog pair in the "You can Live Forever" book. Same thing.
using the wt's "birthday logic" (only two mentions of b-days in the bible, both negative, which means "true christians" do not celebrate them) i wrote this faux wt article about whether true servants of the wt god should really own dogs... i'm no sd-7, but i tried..... .
animals are truly a gift from jehovah as the creator of all things.
animals have, since the creation, served as workers and companions for man.
Dear undercover,
Would eating a dog be a conscience matter?
Your brother serving shoulder to shoulder,

My impression is that there really is no such meaningfule distinction between macro and micro in the modern scientific sense of evolutionary theory. "macro" evolution is the result of small changes over time.
Thoughts?
