  New member says hey

  i have lurked now and then, just decided to join.. my older brother and i were raised by our jw mom, but our dad was a non-practicing catholic.

  so we went to the hall, but were considered "weak" witnesses, since our family still celebrated xmas and birthdays, to appease my dad i suppose.

  as a kid, i loved these holidays.. anyways, when my brother was 17 (i was 13), he spent a few weeks with our cousins in ky, who are all gung-ho j-dubs, and upon his return, he decided he was going to be more "theocratic".

  Welcome. I like to read the stories of people who where there during the 1975 debacle. So many people deny that the WT said 75 would be the end.
  They'll soon deny that they claimed the 1914 generation would never pass.They've already stretched the meaning of the word generation. :/

  New magazine cover from the religion that calls former believers "mentally diseased"....

  apparently "prejudice" applies only to racial equality and has nothing to do with diverse sexual orientation or religious beliefs.

  it's news to me, but that's the only way i can explain this latest cover from the society.. http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/86/wp_e_20130601.pdf.

  cedars.

  Not the most gripping plot in Caleb's latest adventure...

  by cedars in

  http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/stealing-is-bad/.

  caleb sees some brightly-colored lollies.. caleb's mom tells him they're not buying candy today.. caleb puts down the lollies, sulking.. caleb thinks about stealing just one lolly, but remembers his dad's words at family study, that if he steals he won't be jehovah's friend.. caleb puts back the lolly smiling, and runs along.. .

  hardly a gripping plot.

  What kind of friend is Jehovah anyway?
  If I had a friend with a stealing problem, I'd try to help my friend out. I would not abandon them. Especially a young child.
  
  That's the difference between me and Jehovah.

  .

  unlike god's word, that jws believe to be absolute truth, any one of their directives given at the 2013 district convention could be subject to misinterpretation.. .

  Hopefully we will get some recordings or even maybe talk outlines...

  I am curious about the Apostates sympodium also. Can we expect borderline hate speech?

  Also Saturday: Truth brings not peace but a sword !!!???

  Well considering Stephen Harper is a member of Christian and Missionary Alliance, and that his policies reflect those of a millernarist, the fact that he his promoting
  freedom of religion sounds like he is backing his own agenda; and the agenda of people who believe wisdoms of goat herders.
  
  I did warn in my topic title that I am adressing atheists.
  
  The creation of an office of this kind is quite scray. Notice it is not Freedom of Belief, but religious freedom. Do you believe this money will help atheists facing execution for apostasy?
  Or further the cause of christians in muslim countries?
  
  Peace to you also.

  Sorry; didn't read the whole thread, but had to drop a line a say:
  
  Hang on magotan! It only gets better from here on.
  Never underestimate you strength. You have just accomplished a mighty powerful act in being yourself.
