  Can a righteous God be one-sided?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a mother and her four young daughters — the oldest of whom was 6 — died in a residential fire wednesday morning in des plaines, il.

  officials said.. four young children and one adult were killed in a house fire in the 700 block of west oakton street in des plaines, jan. 27, 2021.. .

  after 45 years as a jehovah's witness, this tragic story really has me really questioning if there really is a god?

  Two Quotes Jehovah’s Witnesses in Particular Need to Consider

  by PhilosophicalLogic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  “he who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that.

  his reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.

  but if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion... nor is it enough that he should hear the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations.

  Buy a Bible

  1. social
  2. humour

  this is probably an oldie.

  buy a bible, never read it- you're probably a catholic.

  buy a bible, read only the parts you find interesting - you're probably an evangelist.

  Havent gone to the kingdom hall in ten years but may have to go back...

  by Joliette in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  made a big mistake of talking about being raised as a jehovah's witness to some old friends and family.

  people have told me that i am still a jws even though i've never been baptized.

  i'm in school for social services, dealing with student loan debt, and a lot of other debt.

  Introducing www.jwletter.com

  by Roger Kirkpatrick in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  due to current restrictions, letter writing has replaced the door-to-door method of preaching.

  however, the typical jw practice of hand printing sappy and childish messages and enclosing what amounts to watchtower "junk mail" is enough to embarrass even xjws.

  i decided to compose a letter which completely "spills the beans" regarding current jw beliefs and practices, and here is why i did so.

  Challenging the teacher.

  by Jofi_Wofo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  imagine the case where a student disagrees with his teacher's method, and believes that he knows a better way.

  the teacher realizes that if he kicks the student out of the classroom, the other students may begin to wonder if the teacher was hiding something.

  to settle the matter once and for all, the teacher gives the student a chance to prove himself.. wisely, the teacher takes a moment to lay down the parameters for the challenge.
