good day...so this is the conversation i had with a co-worker of mine i mentioned in an earlier thread...shes a jw and doesnt know that i was associated with the jws before and that im a fader.

Hi, this is what I think. I noticed that there is something about the girl that you like, and there's nothing wrong with that. You should check if she speaks to all male colleagues about "the truth". If not, then it may be one of two things with you;

1) she is attracted to you and she wants to see if you may be interested in the "truth" and so see you as a good prospect for her.

2) she is attracted to you, and she mentioned it to a JW friend, and this JW friend reminded how dangerous is going into an unequal yoke and the way of walking away from you is telling you about her beliefs. That way she keeps you away.

If she pleases you, be a gentleman, be friendly, be nice and pay attention a lot about details with her. Maybe so you can win her heart and she sends al CARAJO this cult. The first consultation is free. For the next one I accept Pay pal.

Proverbs 4:18

by sd-7 in

jw
friends

much has been said about this oft-cited scripture: "the light gets brighter.

" this is, of course, used as justification for the apparently arbitrary changes in doctrine handed down by the governing body.

examining this scripture in its context may help us understand its meaning.. proverbs 4:14-19: "into the path of the wicked ones do not enter, and do not walk straight on into the way of the bad ones.

My brother in law is an active JW and a couple weeks ago we talked about Prov.4:18. I agree with you a 100%!!

Yesterday was my last meeting

by nolongerconfused in

yesterday's watchtower study was the last straw for me...as you all have probably seen the post before me, here's the quote that did it for me.

11/15/2012 wt "forgive one another freely".

paragraph 16 - "in accord with jehovahs's will, christian elders have been entrusted with the responsibility of wrongdoing in the congregation.

wolfman85

I congratulate you. This gives you the opportunity to show your wife that your love and dedication for her has nothing to do with you being part of an organized religion. She will figure it out in time. Keep true to your determination. Blessings to you and yours.

Should i go?

by MsGrowingGirl20 in

so, a good friend of mine, a pentecostal christian, invited me to go to a retreat with her church.

we're the same age-19 years.

we were friends before i became a witness and she was always patient and caring with me especially throughout my arrogant spell as a witness.

If you go is like going from bad to worse. Jumping from the frying pan into the fire. But at end, that's up to you.

Interesting Genetic Research Published on Dog Evolution

by cantleave in

some interesting work has been published this month in nature and reported in various blogs and journals.

it is work that gives more evidence to support the fact of evolution.

a team of swedish scientists led by evolutionary geneticist erik axelsson from uppsala university have identified genetic changes that could have been responsible for the transformation of wild wolves, into the ancestors of our beloved pet dogs.

wolfman85

Now you lie. I never said that adaptation and evolution are not related. Here is a part of my statement:

"Therefore, evolution may be closely related to adaptation, but not the same." There is your strawman. I can't debate anymore when people lie about what I have said.

My English is limited so let me explain it with an example. I'm from a tropic island with warm weather all year round. I live in Massachusetts, where winter is extreme, so I adapt to living in this climate having an insulated and heated house and wearing clothes that protect me from the weather. I've adapted, but none of my physiology and anatomy has changed. Therefore, evolution may be closely related to adaptation, but not the same.
