  Faith

  i was a regular christian before a jehovah's witness person came knocking on my door.

  i did not know what a jehovah's witness was when i met her.. she's a very nice person, and brings her 14 year old daughter everytime.

  she says i should not watch tv, and should not listen to music, and should not play video games, because they will corrupt me, because they are what devil has created.. my friend told me that they are extremests and he is very worried about me being in contact with jehovah witness people (as you can see, i'm not too sure of how to address them either).

  ever been called an apostate?

  other such name or label?

  well you should know why and how such names are used and why they are used purposefully by the wts.. awake june 22 ,2000 page 6. some people insult those who disagree with them by questioning character or motives instead of focusing on the facts.

  God created monkeys in his image.

  by ballistic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did you know that our dna is 96% identical to that of our nearest primates?.

  does this mean god created monkeys 96% in his image?.

  but seriously, this has a lot to say about evolution.... why would god create us based on the genes of monkeys, especially if, as the witnesses declare, we were designed to live forever and monkeys were not?.

  RU British? No! I'm English!

  by Englishman in

  1. jw

  gambler brought up an interesting point earlier re an english couple getting snotty because someone asked them if they were from australia.. it's a fact that guessing at someones accent is a risky business, especially if you get it wrong.

  i had a canadian friend who was always being mistaken for an american, and boy did he ever get pissy about it.. same with new zealanders, i don't mix 'em up with aussie's because i have kiwi pals and am tuned into to the softer intonations.

  my wife has a swiss friend who hates being mistaken for being from germany or austria and makes no bones about letting you know it.. i used to laugh at what i considered to be over-sensitivity, until someone suggested that i came from yorkshire.

  2. friends

  i have been trying to find a wt quote but all has failed and so i turn to this discussion board for help.

  i am beginning to wonder if i imagined it in one of my wierd dreams.

  i cannot give it exactly, but it went something like this.... (following discussion of "worldly" bombs that kill good and bad alike)... if only a bomb could be constructed that only destroyed the unrighteous.... ps - hello sirona.

  LET'S MAKE A LITTLE WAGER

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  perhaps you recall the instance in the bible where samson made a wager with the philistines that they couldnt guess his riddle.

  as it turned out they wheedled the answer out of him by his fiancee, but the point is that they had a wager.

  since the underlying assumption of the apostasy is that we are not living in the last days of this system of things, and that this world is not facing anything remotely like the biblical apocalypse, at least not any time soon, in the spirit of such antagonism, i would like to propose a similar wager.

  The "Tree" of WHAT?

  by Farkel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the account of adam and eve as a literal event is so full of logical contradictions that it is mind-boggling.

  it only takes a minimum of scrutiny to discover that fact, too.. there is something god did not want adam and eve to know.

  he didnt want them to know the difference between good and evil.

  Women are COWS!

  by JanH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when a girl reaches the age of puberty or physical maturity, her.

  body has developed in the matter of sex more than in the mind.. young folks like to be together, first in groups, later in twos.. if they have not been instructed by their parents in regard to the.

  permitted, because the female is not in physical condition to breed.. the bull seems to understand this and keeps in his own place.
