  i am really going to miss having her as a close friend.

  we both helped each other this past year, as we were both dealing with the passing of people we loved.

  she was a strong part of my support group.

  So basically, it's all for show

  by jeremiah18:5-10 in

  jw's claim to be god-fearing, faithful, spiritual people with a unique special personal relationship with god (jehovah).. yet, so much of what they do is just fro show, an outward appearance of holiness and faithfulness:.

  ) shunning- an organization-sanctioned shunning policy publicly "outs" the shunned and puts pressure on members to cary out the shunning.

  why is this necessary if they truly have faith in god and that he sees all and nothing is hidden from his view?

  Would I be the punching bag?

  poor cognac's challenge has me thinking.. as a non-jw, if i were to marry this jw, would the congregation attribute problems we would encounter to him being married to me?

  i don't want to be a punching bag.

  couples have challenges.

  Another thing is his faith in God will be questioned by marrying an unbeliever. I've heard it said that someone who marries an unbeliever shouldn't expect any blessings from Jehovah because by his/her choice of a marriage mate that one has already showed a lack of respect for God's direction.

  Why I`m not against the death penalty....one reason...their are more

  you have all read in newspapers , heard it on tv, radio ,of the 23 year old indian woman student who was gang raped recently by no less than 10 men on a bus then severely beaten with an iron bar and then thrown off the bus in singapore and has since died of her injuries .. those perpretrators of that crime are deserving of the death sentence in my book .. if you willfully take a life or ,are a party to it ,you automatically forfeit your own life .that`s my philosophy .. what`s yours.

  The derisive term for the "annointed" - cracker eater:

  by james_woods in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i owe this one to palmtree (from an outside conversation):.

  i had forgotten it, but way back in the late 1960s, when all the "real annointed" were pretty old, and the whole organization seemed to be run by the "other sheep" - i think somewhere between 1966 and 1968, i first ran into this term:.

  "cracker eater" - a dispespectful term for the old, presumably senile, truly pre-1935 era jw annointed.. here is my nearly-forgotten story:.

  LOL, never heard that term as I've only known of like two annointed in this area with one of the two not being taken seriously. Would love to hear it roll off of Chris Rock's tongue. "Ol Cracka azz Cracka eater!"

  in march 2000, residents of virginia, maryland, and washington d.c. watched continuous, often live, news reports about an ongoing manhunt for a police fugitive on the loose.

  on march 8, 2000, that career criminal, named joseph palczynski, attempted to carjack a jehovah's witness family on their way to the kingdom hall in joppa, maryland.

  palczynski twice shot jennifer mcdonel, 37, who was driving the family auto.

  Tractazine or Minizine ... What do you call them now?

  it looks like data-dog has issued his vote for tractazine as the moniker for the new half-sized wt magazines.. i had also proposed minizine as a descriptive name.. or course ragazine, half-asleep!, and half-botchtower are appropriate.. any other votes or suggestions?.
