whats in your heart?

by new hope and happiness in

why was the ministry so much arguing over who our perception of god was?..

when we were witnessing we could thank jehover for the trinity...but now i think the trinity is what jehovers witnesses like to discuss as it avoids stops any talk on real understanding.....because our god is different and right we could always fall back on the trinity.. .

Does Watchtower ban Movies, books or songs?

by zound in

frequently asked question that is featured at moment on jw.org.

thought it was pretty funny.. .

do you ban certain movies, books, or songs?no.

Tater-T

it's done on an idividual case by case scenerio with the person you study with... what ever YOU really like, you will probably find out it is displeasing to Jehovah... then you will have to throw it out to get baptised to prove you hate what Jehovah hates..

I my case I was a big RUSH fan .. then they said their name means Ruled Under Satan's Hand... so I had to throw all my Rush albums and many others away.. It sucked..

FINALLY! Can you prove God exists? If you can I won't ask again!

by punkofnice in

i have seen debates and shizzle about god or not god etc etc.. i was even confronted by an aggressive and trheatening muslim in the street, who was angry that i wanted proof that god existed.

he ranted on a load of old b0110cks about 'hell' and stuff.

finally he yelled at me: 'do you want god to write your name in the sky?

What evidence was sufficient to turn cowards into willing martyrs?

there wasn't any, they did it on faith.. faith is belief in something without evidence... it's a requirement of christianity..

if they had the evidence they wouldn't have needed faith...

so what is a jw's explanation on why animals grow old and die?.....

last time i checked, animals did not sin nor did they rebel against god.... so why do they have the same fate as humans?.

has anyone asked this question?.

Tater-T

I was told they weren't created in Gods image .. not special..

for that matter why do plants?

it's amazing people like to discuss with such certainty things which there really is no certainty..

I really can't make heads or tails of what your OP is asking?

I think they had all the proof they needed to match their convictions.

That's not proof that their beliefs were true .. it just proves that they believed in them ..

"I won't watch HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER" because Neil Patrick Harris is gay"

by OnTheWayOut in

that's what my jw mother said.

folks, there are plenty of reasons not to watch how i met your mother, but a gay actor playing a straight part is not one of them.

i should give her a list of known gay actors and ruin a bunch of movies and t.v.

and married, with twins ...

by Julia Orwell in

i'm a secondary school teacher and i've spent a lot of time at school this year since i've left jws simply observing student dynamics.

i do a lot of playground duty and have the opportunity to observe the kids at play and in the classroom.

i've especially had the opportunity to observe middle school kids, that is, kids between 12 and 15 in my state.. my observations of these 'worldly' children are:.

When I enterd middle school my Dad had just been DF'd for smoking, and one day Mom said, " If dad's not going to meetings we're not going to meetings!"

greatest day of my life .. so I immediately began petitioning to play football.. so through grade school never being able to play with other kids, was gone..

The best time of my life was midddle school and high school .. I was a JW who finally got to be a non JW..

I just wanted to wear the pads, so cool here is a pic of me in my first year practice gear ,, Oh the glory of it all.. LOL
