  2. beliefs

  as you may have heard if you attended recently, social networking is of the devil and many have been 'lead astray' by website supposedly set up for jw.

  whatever, you heard it before about rock, hard rock, hip hop, rap, gangsta rap, tv, werewolves .... anyway you may have heard of the recent elder school where basically there were the proverbial tongue lashings about not having social networking sites.

  here is the skinny on recent developments:.

  using the name "jehovah"

  by finallyfree! in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i find it to be frankly disrespectful.

  im a father, if my kids were to call me by my first name id find that wierd.

  we address judges with "your honor" and various other titles, so why on earth would we call the almighty god by his first name?

  What Happens If Members Read This Site? (And Other Questions)

  by Stargater in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  first, i read an account that says members are often baptized more than once if they feel so disposed.

  in conventional christianity, partaking of the bread and wine is done in rememberance of their baptism.

  one is symbolic of death and renewal; the other is done to remember the body and blood of the savior.

  1914: Jesus Chooses Jehovah's Church?

  by Stargater in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to those who lurk, or to those on the brink of leaving the ranks of jehovah's witnesses, try for a moment to put yourselves in the position of we who are not members.

  i just bought a book by a former jw, and while i really don't put much credence in the works of apostates i do know how to read in between the lines for things i know to be accurate.

  for example, i've read how jesus, in 1914, inspected all of the world's religions and selected the hari krishnas...er...i'm sorry, the jehovah's witnesses...as the one true religion.. to say the least, this sounds a little strange to the uninitiated.
