  let's assume, as most of you probably believe, that the anointed christians are not the fds.

  if the anointed are not the fds, who are?.

  for those of you that know/care lol my website has been "frozen in amber" for about a week or more.

  no one could make a comment, post an article, reigster as a new user, etc.

  the last couple weeks have been hectic for me, although things are finally calming down now thank goodness, and i was able to make the repairs.. so anyway, problem solved!

  The Mormons were never the publishing house that the JWs are. The Witnesses face the same issues as most print media; they are just doing a terrible job staying up to date.

  Wisdom,

  Chirstmas itself is kind of lame, but I really have enjoyed the parties. It is a great way to catch up with people who you dont get to see as often.

  Calling all Christians:Countdown to October 29, 2017, the 500th year Anniversary of the Reformation

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  on october 29, 2017, millions of people will observe the 500th year anniversary of martin luther nailing his 95 theses to door of the castle church of wittenberg, kick starting the reformation.

  currently, i am listening to martin luther's commentary on the book of galatians, and it struck me how current his struggles sounded.

  change some of the terminology and he might have well come out of the watchtower society.

  Birth Control

  by turtleturtle in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have never understood why, according to the wt, jws are okay (conscience matter) with birth control methods like the pill, mini-pill, depo-provera, and iuds.

  i am not trying to spark an abortion debate.

  but i was actually angry at the wt when i started researching how the mini-pill prevented pregnancy.

  Well then start bitching about IVF too. Your views on the matter are rather Catholic. The JWs dont seem to hold the view that life starts at sperm and egg meeting, but rather implantation of the egg. I think you are on shaky ground trying to argue that life starts before implantation and cell division. Cell division does not start until 24-30 hrs after fertilization.

  What else are they going to talk about....Politics..nope. A movie...prob not, we dont want to stumble anyone plus most of the good ones are rated R. Maybe they could talk about the charitable work they do...ooo wait no. Birthdays, no. Christmas plans, No. NO, NO,NO, NO.

  In a group that only says no to everything you have very little to talk about. Gossip, although technically frowned upon, but it is what you have. There is nothing wrong with gossiping about an ex-JW.
