this is a bit lengthy, but is a very big issue with me, and that is the issue of women's rights.
i do agree with women allowing their husbands to make a final decision, being on how women think with their hearts and men think with their heads, making choices often times more logical ones.
but, the husband according to god is supposed to love his wife as his own flesh.
Doesnt it make you sick. Religions, particularly Jewish and JW's spend more time on condemning the individual under the law, using the law to CONTROL the people who are subject to it. The people enforcing the law (mostly MEN).
JW's in particular should realise that Christ brought a covenant of LIFE, RELEASE from the curse of the old Mosaic law. A covenant of FORGIVENESS and MERCY. The EXACT opposite of what the WTS teaches.
prejudice stems from fear.
often people are afraid of what they do not understand.
perhaps jw's are persecuted as they say, but they persecute others as well.
At my hall, there was an asian elder.
I may be mistaken, but isnt there a "token" black GB member?
these are two fascinating books on the historisy of the ealier bible accounts.. .
if you doubt that the books of "moses" were based on real history these books are worth a read.. anyone else read them and what did you think?.
i what to do more research on ancient bible history and how these stories relate to real history.. i find it amazing how many ancient accounts of early humans mentions gods coming to the earth and breeding with humans.. they usually contain a flood account too.. these stories come from all over the earth from south america , eygpt and asia as well as the middle east.. is there any truth in these stories .. any books you could recomend.
Didnt he write the Twits, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, The Great Glass Elevator, James and the Giant Peach, etc etc?
when did we see you a stranger and receive you hospitably, or naked, and clothe you?
he was talking about food, clothing, shelter and supplication to the least of the brothers.
he could not be talking about anything else and here is why: could any human offer jesus spiritual food?
You Know, please consider the following scriptures, regarding above quote:
Romans 12:20
Proverbs 19:17, Matthew 25:40
Notice how the two verses are cross-referenced in the NWT?

I do what I can to help people, as do many of Jehovah's Witnesses, but the guy on the street ain't Jesus' brother as you mistakenly assume.
SO???????
Once again, you show your real fruits.
women admit to regular lies .
nearly one in four british women would try to conceive without their partner's consent if they wanted a baby, research suggests.
a survey by women's magazine that's life!, found that many women are prepared to lie about almost any aspect of their life.
These serveys are a load of rubbish. Anyway, men are just as bad.
i know what it is to be popular.
well, to be totally honest, i know what it is to be unpopular, and i know that it feels really bad.
i therefore assume that being popular would feel really good!
Id rather be loved and unpopular, than unloved and popular any time. Popular is crap. Its all conditional... like the "brothers" reaching out in the hall...
following the link given by kent,.
i have several observation to make:.

The hypocrisy stinks.
hi guys and gals.. not that you missed me, but we took an impromptu vacation to las vegas for a week.. my husband started a new job today and wanted to spend time with our daughter since she's been in ny over the summer.. it was all fun and games till the transmission on his '97 died in barstow, which is 4 hours from everything ha ha ha.. anyhow, we made it home fri night courtesy of a great big tow truck (thank god for triple a).. eden started 7th grade today, all grown up.
<<<sniff sniff>>> .
i didn't even get to drop her off at school because hubby has my car.
Hi Lisa!
I posted on another thread to you, but I will post here.
How are you? I hope all is well with you and baby.
Dont worry about Eden growing up, it only means your getting OLD!! Before you know it, you'll be in your rocking chair knitting for your grand daughters.
Take care.
the question has always been, primarily: is jehovah really god?
secondarily, the question has been: are jehovahs witnesses really jehovahs witnesses?
or, perhaps worded differently: is the watchtower really the voice of christs appointed faithful and discreet slave of prophecy?
yawn
