Christians, what's so great about Jesus?
by sleepy inchristians, what's so great about jesus?.
why do so many people feel the need to base their life on a person, they have never met, did not write any of the works on his life, and has enormous claims made about him that can not be proved to be true?.
sounds just like following the governing body of jehovahs witnesses to me.. can anyone give me a good reason for me putting trust in this man?

Jesus promoted this which I love; "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Always treat people the way you "want" to be treated.Pureheart

This is a really good one....
by Inquiry inhey all..... i recently heard the funniest prank..... a neighbour of mine came over, with a beer i might add.... nice fellow... and during conversation found out that i used to be a witness... he was asking me questions and then he got this funny smirk on his face... i thought it was something i said, so i asked him what i did.... he started laughing and said he was just remembering what he and a friend did about three years ago around christmas time..... i had been out of the borg for over a year at that point.... apparently, these two pranksters... of course whilst drinking deeply of the barley and hops laden waters of life.... went to a canadian tire, bought $75 worth of christmas lights (about $5 usd...lol) and in the wee hours of a sunday morning... put them up around my old kh and lit them up for all to see when they came in for the 10 am meeting..... i asked around and apparently it's true!
laugh!
i thought i'd die!!!!!

What films and TV shows couldn't you watch?
by sleepy inwhat films and tv shows couldn't you watch when you were a witness kid?.
i remmember being banded from watching scooby doo, ghostbusters ,e.t., (some british ones)count duckula, rent a ghost, well basicly anything with ghosts in it.. my parents wouldn't watch any films with much swearing in them, especially the f-word.. which is fair enought.but i don't notice swearing so sometimes i recommend a film without realising its got lots of naughty words.. sometimes a very sensitive brother from the hall would come round to visit, and he would be visably shocked if there was any sex or swearing in a tv programme which often made it embarassing when watching tv when he was round.. once when we had some friends round and we got waynes world out on video, a couple of the brothers walked out as they thought it too worldly.

Hello Sleepy.
As children we could not watch any tv shows with magic or spiritistic undertones. As a young adult we could not watch the Clint Eastwood movies. Right now I am still watching Clint Eastwood movies that I never knew existed. No R rated movies.

Devils Advocate-A Question for X-JW's
by apostate man inok, i am going to play devils advocate and ask the question: are the jw's correct about anything?
surely there has to be something that is commonly agreed upon to be correct.
i am not talking about what current jw's say, i am not talking about simple things like: read the bible, or be a witness.

Hello Apostate Man. Check out this scenario.
You see a beautiful house in a well to do neighborhood. They are considered middle class.
The family living inside is model citizens. Wife chooses to stay home and take care of the families comforts and needs. Father is a blue-collar worker, very efficient in the workplace, an employee any business owner would pay top dollar to have. The children in the home are well-mannered model children in the neighborhood and have high respect for parents.
Father comes home from work. Neighbors see him get out of his nice modest clean car in his nice uncrumpled suit, walk up his clean and immaculate driveway, and enter his house. His loving wife gives him a kiss and says, “dinner will be ready in 20 minutes”. The family later gathers around the table and eats a very balanced meal. Afterwards each one does his and her duties and then goes off in their different directions to take care of end of the day matters. Mother have time to sit down in her comfortable area for a few minutes before getting children ready for bed and reflects.”I am so lucky”. My husband and me have raised our children to be responsible citizens. They are obedient and loving. Oh it takes a lot of hard work to keep them that way but they respond. My husband loves all of us and is a good provider. Life is good!” Later everyone is tucked away in bed for the night.
Wife is in bed waiting for hubby, hubby gets in beside her and gives her a tender peck on the cheek and says goodnight honey and turns over and falls to sleep. Wife smiles to herself and thinks, he is so tired. Then wife falls asleep.
An hour later hubby gets up out of bed and proceeds to leave he and his wife's bedroom. He proceeds down the hallway to one of his little girl’s room, goes inside quietly and does what he has been doing since she was 3 years old. Sexually molesting her.Now if you had asked his wife and his other children earlier that day how they would describe this man, what would they say?
1. He is a good father because he provides well for us, physically, spiritually, and mentally.
2. He always takes us to recreational activities.
3. He loves us.
4. He teaches us moral values and make sure that we make the right choices.
5. He disciplines us when we need it.
6. He supports our education.The little daughter that is being molested of course feels the same way, because she is too young yet to fully comprehend what is happening to her.
To answer your question; “just because someone does many right things does not mean that they are good and right about all things.

Peer Pressure - the WTS Greatest Weapon
by hillary_step inin my early years of questioning wts theology and methodology in the late 70s', i was entirely on my own.
i knew that something was seriously wrong with their doctrines, but there was no internet, no discussion groups, and in my particular area of the uk, no listening ear.
in fact everybody seemed so pleasantly in love with the truth and so drawn along by collective enthusiasm that i seriously began to question my own attitudes.. sometimes i would wonder if i had gone quite mad, lost god's spirit, or had accomplished some dark deed in my past, that unknown to me was stripping me of my faith.
