Odd experience today
by krejames in
1. jw
2. experiences
ok just thought i'd share this odd experience that happened while i was responding to perfect1's thread "did a householder at the door ever cause you doubts?

" (apologies for the bad typing in that btw - was on my iphone and in my work-break).

was just relating the experience of a householder who caused me to question my beliefs.

Syposiums are pagan!
by krejames in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the bbc has been producing some interesting documentaries lately.

one series is about ancient greece and i learned something new (for me) that i thought a few here might like as much as i did.. according to one episode in the series, syposiums originated in ancient greece as events where people would get together, get drunk, make sacrifices to the pagan gods and then finally various people would stand up and talk and talk and talk, no doubt in a drunken ramble, about the deep topics of the day.. for this reason i cannot possibly attend another jw assembly or convention any more.

they always feature syposiums and now i know they are clearly rooted in paganism, well, it goes against my christian trained conscience..... .
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star

2. beliefs
i was in battersea park in london yesterday (enjoying the gorgeous weather and riding on a boris bike hehe), when i saw a number of small groups of africans in white robes talking to various people who were relaxing in the park.

one or two were showing scriptures to the people they were talking to.

obviously my interest was immediately piqued and i stopped my bike and asked one of them for a leaflet.. this morning i finally got around to reading it.

by krejames in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
at last received tony wills' "a people for his name" and have just read the chapter on ww2.

completely dumbfounded as to how the author could have missed out such an important issue as the declaration of facts and rutherford's letter to hitler?!

very disappointed.
