  I have no idea why but 12 angry men comes to me about this. The jurors were SO sure the boy was guilty according to the facts but when challenged the facts failed under scrutiny. Same thing with this 1919 stuff. Go ahead and watch 12 angry men. It is quite good.

  Just why would god create dinos??

  by highdose in

  the jw answer to this is that there must have been some purpose for them that we don't yet understand.. but dinos were pretty violent, basic animals who killed without mercy.

  i know not all of them but alot of them did.

  the ones that were vegetarian ate huge masses of vegatation, how is that productive to the earth?.

  it has become very apparent to me very quickly that this forum is dominated by ex-jws.

  i have many questions and topics to present but i first want to know who i am presenting these questions and topics to so i have 2 questions that i would like as many of yall to answer as possible.. .

  question 1: did you leave the organization out of the blue or were you first disfellowshipped?.

  After leaving the Faith, do you celebrate all of the Holidays?

  by Quarterback in

  2. friends

  i could never understand how some who don't follow some of the moral restrictions in the jw faith, are strong against celebrating the .

  religious holidays such as christmas, and easter etc.. do you celebrate the holidays knowing some of their origins?.

The Pumpkins etc. Candy Corn...So......Since I have been out last november of the TROOTH....I started a collection of Halloween stuff. I am a collector by heart anyways so this fits right in.

  If JW's Should Be Accountable For Their Sordid History.....

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ....shouldn't christian religions of all persuasions be accountable as well?.

  if this is insulting, it isn't meant to be.

  former jw's all the time come here on this forum and others to hold the governing body accountable for teaching lies and holding on to a history, a tradition if you will, that embraces leaders like c t russell and j f rutherford, both of whom taught things that are almost entirely rejected by jw's today.

  I had just come back from acting school in New York. AADA.. Got to shake hands with Patrick Stewart. I had graduated from the second best acting school in the country and could NOT even get a part on the drama when my congregation had it. Such a crime! But really witnesses do not care. So long as it´s Elder Brownnose...he always gets parts in the dramas.

  What Turns The Average "Worldly" Person Away From The Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  is it their door-to-door incessant preaching?

  is it their view on blood?

  is it that the religion itself is simply often misunderstood?.

  I have a religious friend. She changes religions ALOT! But she always thought JW´s do not believe in Jesus. I have told her through the years that they do. She ALWAYS insists during 15 years that they don´t and I have to remind her. She always forgets. It is a built in phobia of them.
