  Bye the way, welcome to the board GotJesus!!

  I don't see it as a contradiction. A holiday is just a holiday, a cheque is just a cheque. Both can be accepted as long as they don't conflict with whatever doctrine the old farts in Brooklyn(TOFB) are vomiting out this year. Most of the witnesses I know are sincere individuals who try earnestly to follow their leaders. There are exceptions to every rule.

  The bigger issues at hand are the inconsistencies and contradictions handed down by TOFB. The more you follow this board, Gotjesus, the more of these you'll see.

  The Truth About "New Light"

  by Farkel in

  ah!

  new light!

  what dub worth his salt doesn't eagerly anticipate each district assembly or watchtower magazine to "glean" any "new light" that might be presented?

  I'd thought this thread was going to be about beer!!

  So what you're saying Farkel is that "New Light", is someone is sticking the shovel into the same old dung-heap, flipping it over and calling it progress,.

  I would of prefered a beer.

  What's wrong with putting down the system while milking it for everything it's worth? Since they render unto Caesar, they're entitled to that systems benefits.

  Michael the Archangel

  2. bible

  is jesus christ the same person as michael the archangel [chief angel], as the watchtower society teaches?

  what does the bible say?

  here are all of the scriptures that mention michael the archangel:.

  Chef,

  It's a big stretch to look at the scriptures you've quoted here and arrive at the conclusion that Jesus and Micheal are one and the same. You'd need something a little more definitive to convince me.

  What IS Gods name anyway?

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am sure this topic has been brought up many times here but i don't always have the oppertunity to read all the posts so i am going to raise it again.. i went to the meeting the other day with my wife and this came up in the talk.

  the speaker saying how improtant it was to have the right bible to get the most out of bible reading.

  the right bible being the nwt of course because it uses the divine name which we all know is jehovah...or yahweh.

  Putting Something Back Into Society Now You're Out

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i saw the film "pay it forward" some weeks ago.

  now, whilst most of us stoical brits will snort somewhat at the emotional hokum, nonetheless the movie featured many salient points, not least the theory that humankind needs to put something back into society if it is to retain it's own sense of worth.. as it happens, i agree with that theory.

  also, since leaving the jw's, i find that i have much more concern for the welfare of my fellow man than i used to have.

  Welcome to the board Amiable, I see that was your first post. You got to remember us Canadians measure our temperature different. I don't know what your -8F would translate to in celsius. it's probably close to the same.

  An opening page when people log on

  by Kingpawn in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  we all know that certain things happen on here frequently: some topics come up regularly, for example ("i'm dating/in love with a jw;" "oral sex;" and so on.

  is it possible to compile a list of the most frequent thread titles/subjects and post a faq page, maybe with links to a sample of past threads on topic x, and tell people to click on there rather than begin a new, already-explored topic?

  maybe a welcoming page explaining that this is an anti-jw site (the name would tend to give the opposite impression), a list of some of the rules such as bad language, duplicate accounts, trolling, an explanation of (and encouragement for using) the search feature, and other things that, again, seem to be mentioned often?

  I don't have an opinion on an opening page but I don't think this is an anti-jw site. I think it's an everything-jw site... make of it what you will.
