  Young JW murdered

  by Max Divergent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  got the news through the week that a victim of a fatal bashing was a 22-year old jw.

  apparently he was a very soft and fragile sort of a guy, but when his group confronted by another leaving the movies he got pushed/hit and hit his head on the ground.

  he sufferd brain damage and later died.. a very sad event for everyone who knew him and i'm sure it somthing of regret for everyone that an apparently decent guy was so unexpectedly killed just going to the movies at the local cinima.. here's a local news report: http://www.thewest.com.au/20020207/news/state/tw-news-state-home-sto43432.html

  Re: Survey for US people: America is the best?

  for every person, there seem to be things they just don't understand.

  for me, it's nationalism in more than homeopathic doses.

  i wouldn't have expected to meet that much nationalism on an ex-jw board, but then, life holds many surprises.

  wt advance directive.

  there is substantial discussion of this topic in a previous thread that contains the opinions, some informed - some not, regarding the validity of the directive.

  i believe that a useful place to begin is by reviewing the medical literature.

  Power, corruption, religion & politics

  by Seeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i find it amusing but disconcerting to see the blinders on people's eyes when it comes to politics.

  here we are, most of us having been jws, but now we are fully aware of the corruption of the wts, yet we are blind to the same thing happening in politics.

  this is especially true of the more conservative members among us.

  by seven006 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those who would like a synopses of this issue for what ever reason, i would like to try and put as many of the confusing pieces together as i can.

  why they chose to do it at a kingdom hall is understandable.

  mark made his post and revealed a few facts in this issue that were suppressed by the gag order.

  Are Jehovah's Witnesses evil?

  by SexyTeen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am shocked at the many accusations against jehovah's witnesses in this forum.. i know that i am young, but most of my family are jws and they are good people and i love them.

  even my worldly family is very nice and i do not shun them.

  the friends in the hall are very nice also.

  did any of you read the entire bible once...?

  by Richie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wanted to know if any of you have read the entire bible?

  - i remember that it was mentioned in the congregation many times that this would be a requirement that we were to read the bible in its totality at least once and especially as elders!.

  i myself never had the time (or energy) to read the scriptures from cover to cover.
