i've been dating a jw girl for about 4 years and we've recently had a lot of issues with the fact that her family doesn't like that i'm not a jw.
i've been looking into the religion and am interested in it.
but is it wrong to join just so i don't lose her?
So what, If they were super uber dubs she would have been booted along time or disfellowed.
You are both on the verge of adulthood. Get married and move away. If the family are really poisonous people, it might be better to put some distance between her and her family.

If she is not baptized, I wouldn't worry about it.
so where did god exist before he created the heavens?
Wow
Pointless boring circular arguments.
You might as well just go in field service. At least you people would get some exercise and fresh air.
from that nutty red book of insanity, the grand climax at hand book, chapter 22, paragraphs 7 & 8. .
i had my doubts since childhood.
i went along with it to please people.
So basically the core of all Jehovah witness theology just comes down to some incredibly complex ever shifting bamboozle that basically no one understands.
I told an elder that one time and it’s all spiritual pornography. He wasn’t impressed.
should individual businesses have the right to pick and chose who they serve?
if a muslim decides he won't bake the cake of a radical zionist that says "reclaim the temple in jerusalem" should the government be allowed to punish the muslim baker?
maybe you can help me understand the issues more clearly because were becoming hyper-sensitive and soon your going to need a handbook what's the proper thing to say.
If I were that baker in Indiana , I would have said sure , for 2 million dollars.
Honestly a little common sense would sure go along ways sometimes. If someone doesn't want your business, just don't give it to them. It is not like it was an essential service.
Is it just me or does it seem like the Gay and Lesbian community have more of a pre-occupation with the religious right than the other way around.
several times over the past few months i have had conversations, both here and in real life, with religious people making all sorts of interesting and conflicting claims.
i like to know how things work, so generally i will ask questions to net out what i am being told and see if it can be explained and make sense.. for instance, if someone said 2+2=4 and i asked how, there are a variety of ways that could be shown to me, a number line, physical objects being put together, counting on fingers and toes, etc.
indeed, in my personal life, i often have to explain how certain technologies work, sometimes planned, sometimes off the cuff, from a variety of group sizes to a varying degree of technical expertise.
This thread is taking on the tone of a secret elders meeting. Lots of smugness mixed with self congratulation mixed with an incredible vagueness.

Why ?
Both are unanswerable questions silly.
But of course science not today but tomorrow will figure it all for us. Progress is being made. Blah blah blah. We have big thick books with really complex answers.
It find it funny how the pro-science crowd often seems to be bigger deists than religious people.

I see the watchtower has trained you well young Jedi. Wear down your opponent with a pointless circular argument that goes nowhere.

Asking religious people to prove the existence of god is like asking an atheist to disprove there being any intelligence in our design.
Anyone with a sincere interest in all thing scientific wouldn’t waste their time with such a pointless endeavour.

I hate when people spew philosophy and pretend they are doing it in the name of a scientific debate. This thread is nothing but pointless fluff.
