7 years ago i started on a path i had long ago given up on as impossible.

i met with my elders and told them i could not justify carrying on as a jw.

i went and got my high school qualifications and my higher education diploma (a levels with distinction) in just 12 months.

To be fair the letter explains that "qualified" means fluent readers including sisters. c'mon people we can't criticise JWs for being judgmental if we are judgmental ourselves!

Jesus washing feet in underwear or naked?

by John_Mann in

john 13:4,5. got up from the evening meal and laid aside his outer garments.

and taking a towel, he wrapped it around his waist.. after that he put water into a basin and started to wash the feet of the disciples and to dry them off with the towel that was wrapped around him.. .

the wt "translates" himatia as outer garments but some other translations says just clothes.. if he were wearing just an underwear, why wrap a towel around the waist?

krejames

Mark 14:51,52: "However, a certain young man wearing only a fine linen garment over his naked body began to follow him nearby, and they tried to seize him, 52 but he left his linen garment behind and got away naked."

The Bible says he was naked. Does that mean he was naked? of course not, silly! he was obviously still wearing clothes because to be naked would have been just wrong!

who is james randi?.

the [james randi educational] foundation is committed to providing reliable information about paranormal claims.

it both supports and conducts original research into such claims.. at jref, we offer a one-million-dollar prize to anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event.

You don't need to go to such lengths to find evidence of supernatural abilities. Just watch Troy. I'm convinced he's a wizard ;)

Modern Day Governing Body Members Do Not Go "Door To Door" or Informal Witnessing! Why?

by RottenRiley in

what sorrow awaits you!

for you say that it means nothing to swear by gods temple, but that it is binding to swear by the gold in the temple.

20when you swear by the altar, you are swearing by it and by everything on it.

Isn't it the guy on the right of the picture that's the GB member? Has his briefcase been superimposed? or more likely have they both been superimposed onto a more 'pleasant' background than was on the original pic? Personally, much as I have no time for the GB I am not convinced of any evidence of hypocrisy on this particular point. hearsay generally wouldnt stand up in a court of law (at least not in the UK). There are surely more convincing things to get riled about than an apparent report based on what is effectively gossip.

Ultimately this is all hearsay and rumour. Shouldn't we "bitter apostates" be above this kind of judgementalism or at least quit wasting our mental energy on stuff we really don't know whether true or not? ;)

oh and I forgot to say I have been screening my calls. I have had couple of calls from withheld numbers that I haven't answered (but to be fair it might not be from them, but I suspect it is)

They have texted and knocked on my door twice since last week when I posted the Tight Pants video on my Facebook page. I replied to the text to say I would call them when I wasn't so busy and was ready for them to come around. I haven't bothered answering the door when they have knocked.

Did Prince Just Say Goodbye to the Jehovah's Witnesses?

http://allied.blogspot.com/2007/02/prince-says-goodbye-to-jehovahs.html.

any music fan who watched the super bowl last night could rightly walk into work this morning and say, "did you see the bears and colts play football during prince's concert?".

(reprinted from the link above).

krejames

Of all the Eighties acts to become a Jehovah's Witness, why did it have to be Prince? Why not someone more frivolous, irreverent and fun? Like those hard-drinking party girls Bananarama? Stupid question. on becoming a JW any fun would be sucked right out of them. Come to think of it, Prince is probably the right choice. I find him as pretentious and boring now as I ever did. (apologies to any Prince fans on the forum lol).

I tried tweeting a link to Stonewall UK (@stonewalluk) but didn't get a response. Maybe if others send stuff their way, they'll take it more seriously.
