4Beliefs most JWs can't explain.
by Mazza inblondie posted this under englishman's topic about the 144 being the mediator between the great crowd and jehovah.
it looks a really handy list - but i'm not too familiar with some of them.e.g.
7, 8, 9. i'm not even that sure on 5 and 6. is the reason most jws can't explain them because there have been so many changes that most dubs aren't up with the brightest light?

Our Watchtower wedding.
by Mazza inthirty years ago today, i walked down the isle of the kingdom hall to be given in marriage.
surprsingly we are still married!.
david was 20 yrs old and i was 19. we had been baptised about 6 months earlier and had been dating since i was 14 and david 15. i had family who were jws and i became really interested when i was about 17. i managed to convert david within a year or two.. once we were baptised we were pressured by the congregation to get married as they didn't think it appropriate that we should keep dating, year in year out "without marriage in view" - though we had no money nor did either of us have a full time job.

The LOVE problem
by Mazza inwhy is practising "love" so difficult for christians?
given the theme of the bible is about love and given that christians are constantly expounding the virtues of believing, why is there such a problem following this most basic of christian teachings?
it's a huge problem, apart from isolated instances of exceptional goodness which are found radomly occuring throughout all humanity - christians do not have a good track record with this most simple concept of their belief system.
