  CourtTV - A JW Case

  by Mister Biggs in

  1. social
  2. current

  last night (9:30pm est), courttv did a story of a woman who left home when she was a teenager.. she got involved with drugs and prostitution.. she soon gave birth to a child.. she stopped using drugs and quit being a prostitute and took up a job as a waitress.. she now gave birth to a son.. fast forward six years.... she began studying with jehovah's witnesses.. she was applying for something (maybe welfare, i'm not sure.

  i ran to use the bathroom during the commercials and when i came back out the narrator had already said what she was trying to apply for).. the narrator said that whatever she was applying for required that she disclose who the father is and explain why she is not collecting child support.. the father of her son was a married police officer who had an established family and a distinguished career.. she consulted the elders as to what she should do.

  they told her that she needs to be honest and that she shouldn't lie on the application.. so, she set up a meeting with the baby's daddy (the cop).

  Did anyone see the Discovery Channel special last?

  by crownboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i saw it at my cousin's house last night, it was very interesting.

  it traced the lineage of man back to the "real eve", who lived somewhere in africa about 150,000 years ago.

  they were able to make this determination by reading the "mitocondrial dna" of humans; looking for mutations, etc.

  June 1st WT...The WTS's Fixation with Death

  by ISP in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the june 1st wt has the cover article should you be afraid of death?

  on the first page it sets the scene as to how death casts a shadow over us.

  it then seemingly gloats over how people in the world are fixated by death.

  Disturbing material in May 15, 2002 Watchtower

  by spender in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the questions from readers section, the question was: "would it be advisable for a true christian to attend a funeral or a wedding in a church?".

  to analyze this wonderful piece, i'm going to use their words, and translate them into real english.. "being in a group where everyone else is engaging in a false religious act, a christian may find it difficult to resist the pressure to join in.

  how unwise to expose oneself to such pressure!".

  HELP!!- JT asked to become a MASON!

  by JT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been searching the net for some excellent sites on the masons.

  this past weekend we went down to nc for a wedding and my wife and i broke the news to our nonjw family that we were no longer involved with jw.

  i could not believe the open arm welcome my uncle and aunt were almost in tears- they told us we have seen you come home each yr from the main office in ny and then you got married and you would come home and we wanted to say something about the jw but you seemed to be so well respected by the local jw - whenever we would tell folks that our newphew was up in ny- the jw would get all excited- they told us they thought it was so sad for i only made $90 a month.

  Debate With The Governing Body

  by Francois in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to my knowledge the governing body of the jws have not responded to my challenge to debate the proposition "jehovah's witnesses constitute a religious cult.".

  i have said they wouldn't respond, and they won't.. for those of you who have a copy of "jehovah's witnesses in the divine purpose," let me suggest you read how the jws taunted mainstream religious leaders with their refusal to debate, claiming their refusal constituted tacit admission of the falsity of their religious practices and beliefs.. now the shoe is on the other foot.

  and the governing body is hiding in the deepest precints of 114 adams street.
