  The last days.

  by MrFreeze in

  2. bible

  in matthew, jesus lines out all the signs of the last days.

  he puts a stipulation on it saying that nobody will know the day or the hour.

  does that not mean that nobody could know the last days as well?

  Is flirting just harmless fun ?

  by caliber in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  on some base level, flirting is not destructive.

  in fact, it may be a perfectly natural and healthy way for two people to interact.

  yet, as the level of involvement in flirting increases, the emotional stakes rise for the two involved parties and the uninvolved member of the relationship.

  Real Jehovah's Witnesses (djeggnog, StandFirm, etc), I'm trying to understand you.

  i'm an active jehovah's witness.

  i've obviously lost my faith, that's why i don't feel bad posting here anymore.

  i'd probably be disfellowshipped as a division causing, teaching, apostate, faster than you can say "maher-shalal-hash-baz" (isaiah 8:1), should it be found out that i was posting here and did not repent of the things i've said and stop participating in this forum.

  Life after death

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  everyone has different views about life after death and whether or not it is a possibility.. as jehovah's witnesses, we were always taught that there is no life after death, that this is the only life we have now and that the wages of sin is death.. .

  what are your views on life after death?.

  .

  I don't know. I can't prove that there is, and I can't prove that there isn't. Either viewpoint would require some level of faith.

  An Intro and apology.

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been an avid reader on this site for a few years and have weighed in on a few topics and introduced a few more without introducing myself.

  for this i apologise.

  the main reason for my reticence is that being a second generation born in but having been baptised in the 50s i will find it difficult to make an introduction without giving the game away.

  pirata that was one of the most astute posts I've read in a while. I have many of the same questions - you articulated them very well.

  Any Witness who frequents this type of site (while I certainly welcome them), would have to be considered very "spiritually weak", based on the very same literature and organization they profess to espouse.

  two weeks ago i let everybody know we made it safe to our new home.

  what i did not tell you the move was very hard on me.

  i ended up straining my right shoulder so bad i could not even keep my arm up on the key board to type.

  NBA playoffs

  by jair_irwin in

  2. entertainment

  i've seen some great posts here about the nhl playoffs, and they've definitely been great so far.. i've also been pleasantly surprised by the nba playoffs so far this year.

  usually in the nba playoffs, things are so predictable - the favorite almost always wins, teams tend to win 2 or 3 titles in a row, etc.

  okla city vs dallas, chicago vs miami - pretty good final 4, with some great story lines.

Also 4 teams that a lot of people wouldn't have expected to see here at the beginning of the year!

  New ex-JW memoir coming out...

  i don't post a ton here because i'm kinda shy.

  that's the amazon link (which is currently the most affordable, i believe, but it's also available for preorder at b&n, borders, indiebound, and indigo-chapters if you're in canada, if you prefer one of those retailers).. .
