has anyone here read the urantia book?
i was recently made aware of it and so far i've only read the wikipedia on it.
there's a part of it that apperently goes in to more detail than the bible about the life of jesus.
Has anyone here read The Urantia Book? I was recently made aware of it and so far I've only read the wikipedia on it. There's a part of it that apperently goes in to more detail than the Bible about the life of Jesus. I'm not saying I believe this book is in anyway inspired, I just find what I've read on Wikipedia about it interesting.
So has anyone read it? Thanks in advance for any info.
were you ever told......... .
women have one less rib,.
the human skin is made mostly of dust,.
The guy I studied with told me that the mountains where due to the flood. He said that the water pushing down on certain parts of the earth caused other parts to push upwards, Lol.
hello, first let me apologixe for both my spelling and my grammer in advance, both are not my strong points.. i'll keep this short.
since i've been a child my mother has studied on and off with jw's ( i'm now 34) so i've been around it most of my life, i studied on and off myself for around 10 years.
thank's to this site and jwfacts i'll never study or step foot inside a kingdom hall again.
Thanks Lozhasleft and Lown Mylife. What they did to 3rdgens mother is terrible!! Why are the watchtower society always asking for money when they already have more than they'll ever need? Is it just gread or is there a plan?
ok just thought i'd share this odd experience that happened while i was responding to perfect1's thread "did a householder at the door ever cause you doubts?
" (apologies for the bad typing in that btw - was on my iphone and in my work-break).
was just relating the experience of a householder who caused me to question my beliefs.
Great news Krejames! Thanks for the update.
jws are in need of more kingdom halls in many major u.s. cities.
at this years agm where it is expected that most of the faithful will be able to listen to the meeting (being tied in by video), dont be surprised if the wts 8 gb members take part in a symposium delivering some long winded appeal, petition, plea, proposal, proposition, solicitation or otherwise hit-on the masses for $$$ in order to lighten the burden and overuse that many kingdom halls are experiencing.
an acquaintance from the west coast mentioned to me that in late august thru early september of this year that a number of pow-wows involving close to 5,000 elders from numerous areas (riverside, los angeles, ventura and orange counties) took place to drum up financial support from the 800+ (not sure) congregations in those areas.
I can't believe they're doing this. Surely JW's will see something's not right here?

Thanks 3rdgen. I know sending them facts is pointless and dangerous, but I get frustrated with them. Today I was walking my dog and 2 female JW's from the same cong I attended as a study approached me and offered me magazines. That got on my nerves as I clearly stated I didn't want that to happen in the e-mail I sent to the elder. I think some of the frustration is also from my own thoughts, Sometimes I think perhaps they have got things right and I could have a nice life if I joined them. I think that perhaps if I could get back to studying and keep to it that things could work out rather well. Then the logical part of my brain kicks in and I remember all their false teachings, and their controlling ways and I also think how they go against Jesus' commands.
I know all that sounds weird but even though I was never baptized I guess I'm still indoctrinated to some degree.
who really is the faithful slave?
i have, for some time, related to my family the underlying reason why the governors at headquarters (pg22p10) say what they say & do what they do.
simply put, they need to make themselves big.
They do seem to have gotton themselves into a right old muddle.
am i just missing it or is there actually no way to manage your pm's?
how does one delete messages for example?.
I can't even see my pm's. I've got a notification informing me I have 1 pm, but I can't see it.
