  MmmKayy,

  So, since the baptism of, say, David Splane was before the change to the second question to include the Org, does that mean that Mr. Splane has NOT properly committed himself to Jehovah? Huh, does it?

  he asked me about the place i moved to last year.

  i told him it was ok, maintenence are a little slow fixing problems, and there has been crime lately.

  i said most of the developments around here are nice and peaceful except one up the road which is considered the hood lol.

  MS: "If you had purchased a rifle or shotgun you'd have been ok. Because it is a handgun you're looked at as a sinner. "

  Mad, is this your opinion, or did the WT actually say something to the effect?

  2. experiences

  this morning i took my dog who is a therapy dog over to the hospital and visited with several patients.

  it is quite an experience, and it really helps people undergoing medical treatment to calm down and relax.. my wife was one of those patients, she is undergoing some tests before getting her gall bladder removed which will probably be sometime tomorrow.. afterwards i took the dog home, cleaned her up, and changed my clothes.

  since i was alone i drove over to panara to try one of their breakfast sandwiches, several of the nurses told me that they are pretty good.

  MIB, glad the wifey surgery went well; wish her a speedy recovery.

  As to your reaction to the the dubs snubbing you, you are way too kind (which is a wonderful thing). It would have been really difficult for me not to give them all "f@#k you" looks while smiling in their faces all along....but that's just me.

  I don't have a dog yet, but when I get one, it would be like yours

  History & facts show NOBODY individuals or group,I.D.themselves as Jehovahs Witnesses b4 Judge Rutherford in the mid 1930`s

  by smiddy in

  no body or group in the hebrew sriptures ( o/t ) ever identified themselves as a jehovah`s witness.

  no body or group in the christian greek sriptures ( n t ) ever identified themselves as a jehovah`s witness.

  in fact the word" jehovah" never appeared before the 12th century.

  Child Health — Watchtower deception!

  child health watchtower deception!.

  today i uploaded a new article addressing a particularly evil deception watchtower promotes in its july 15, 2011 watchtower journal.

  when watchtower does what it does in this instance the higher-ups have to know they are misleading folks.

  Marvin, you say: "The freedom of believers to choose medical treatments says nothing whatsoever about whether a given choice protects the health of believers."

  I would like to expand upon it. As already pointed out on this board and elsewhere, this "freedom" is akin to the freedom of a hostage to not yield the armed hostage taker's threats and run away. Actually, I am not so sure...seems the hostage has a theoretical chance of running away without being shot to death; not so with the Watchtower.

  The cowardly wording have it both ways for the WT: If the poor soul chooses blood to save their life - it was their decision - DF. If they choose no blood and die - it was their decision - don't look at us....

  How would you respond to this JWs assertions?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  my questions posted to mr. penny.

  do jehovah's witnesses teach their members to shun ex-jehovah witness family members living outside the home?

  do you support this practice?

  Yes. When mistakes are made and found out we admit them and correct them.

  Really?!?!

  And where exactly does it say: "We were wrong. We take full responsibility for [insert flip-flop doctrine] and we offer our sincere apologies to all affected".

  Quietly making 180 does not constitute an admission or correction of a mistake.

  What a freaking drone!
