Things that make you go "Hmmmmm..."

remember those arsenio hall "things that make you go hmmm"?.

here's one; is it me or do most witnesses never wonder how an "annointed one" becomes annointed?

if there are "replacements" to those of the "little flock" that fall away...couldn't this just go on forever?

you watch a certain channel and on it there's a weatherman who tells you that it there's a big storm coming.

his doppler radar system is giving him the information and the big storm is coming on such an such day.. you prepare and make sure things are in order so you can survive it.

that day comes....but the big storm does not.

BLOOD ISSUE! - Call Police for Backup...the JWs are mad!

2. beliefs
i read this article and thought... "only a matter of time before jws start getting hauled off to jail for attempted murder and manslaughter charges.".

one would think..."why is this person fighting so hard for their child to die???

maybe they don't want the kid and figure they'll be free from the responsiblility?".

i went to the sixscreens site to see if rick had posted any new conference calls, but the last one was from the 7th of may.

1. social
2. relationships
any experiences/advice on dating (moving on) after a separation or divorce from a jw?.

i know that when (not if) i leave the org, my wife will probably separate then divorce me (and we have 3 small children).

i only know of horror stories when it comes to that type of scenario.

Before you can be Baptized, you must first....
by RagingBull in
1. jw
2. friends
at this week's bookstudy/school/service meeting, there is plenty of emphasis on "baptism"...and considering the book of acts, one must wonder about the eunuch and cornelius.. ethiopian eunuch - a minister of finance (political figure = treasurer)...didn't really understand what he was reading (not in the "accurate knowledge" way at least)...yet by phillip he was baptized soon after they met.

it was his faith in jesus that played the part.

cornelius - was in the roman army (military)...was a very giving man, kind, strong faith in jesus and believed in him...he and his family were baptized.
