  We're Better than Jehovah's Witnesses

  this certainly becomes clear very quickly when you see what love those here in our community have for each other.

  its unconditional love too.. why, no one ever minds if you disagree with them or their personal experiences.

  too, even if a disagreement arises it is handled in a loving manner with each individual showing respect for his brothers and sisters.. truly the on line community of jehovahs-witness.com shines as a light to the world as a beacon of hope, that, if our example was followed, peace, love and happiness would reign over a wonderful renewed planet, inhabited by people who have found a real peace of mind and ability to share their space with all.. truly, all jehovah's witnesses should want to join us in our wonderful land of freedom, where nothing can ever go rong.

  It's not a competition, Joel, to see which way is better. Or else every time a JW showed kindness it would be proof they have the right religion. In fact, there are many religious and scientific reasons why their religion is wrong, and their behavior is secondary to that.

  Besides, in addition to the fighting, bickering, and character assassination here, there are heartwarming examples of true love and compassion. Try focusing on those for a while. You were unfairly attacked, it is true, but consider the source.

  Fortunately for us, we're not witnessing to others, we don't claim Bible prophecies coincide with our behavior, we are allowed to go our own ways. That very freedom is appealing to many JWs.

  Bastard!

  Well, despite accusations against me, I am a loyal American citizen, which means I ought to get them all right. You are not, Jan, so getting 9 out of 11 is very impressive. No way I would get 9 out of 11 right if the subject were about European countries...

  Where would you draw the line?

  by chappy in

  assuming the creator exists, how far do you feel he/she should go in interfering with the exercise of our free will?

  wouldn't any direct interference negate such freedom?

  seems to me it's a very thin line between puppet like control and absolute freedom.

  Why couldn't a Heavenly Father act like a human father? That is, He would manifest His wisdom, letting us all know the best way to live (and WHY), and encourage us to go that way. Then step back and let us live.

  Give us knowledge and wisdom, but not control.

  a week after the attacks, the hamilton county commission in chattanooga, tenn., voted to post the ten commandments in city and county government buildings.

  if a court frowns on the action, commission chairman bill hullander said, 'i would sure not want to be the person to walk up there and pull the nail out of it, so to speak, and take it down.

  It's always after an emergency or crisis that the idealogues try to sneak through stuff that normally would be blocked. They should be ashamed of themselves for trying to take advantage of this situation to further their agendas.

  Oh can't I just have one?

  Nice job, troubled. I knew that wasn't directed at me since I'm one of those who hates name-calling and fighting.

  my dad was telling me today that i am a big dissapointment to my mum.. it seems the feels that all her years of rearing us are a waste of time,.

  because her three kids dont go to the meetings.. she drew parralels to another family, in our hall, and said we all the same.. the other family has four kids, three of whom are/were drug dealers.. one was driven out of the country by terrorists because of it.. the other is a prick living in a giant house.

  he only talks to you if hes bought.

  You are not alone. I think this relates to a common parental feeling. Many parents want their children to take after them. This often manifests itself in wanting their children to take up the family trade, for instance. What conflict often arises when the child strikes out in a different direction, causing "disappointment" in the parents. Yet isn't it valid for the child to make their own choices in life? Of course it is!

  The same thing happens with religion. Pity the child of Muslim parents who informs them that they are changing religions. Or the child of Jewish parents who tells them the same thing. What disappointment this causes! Yet isn't it valid for the child to make their own choices in life? Of course it is!

  So even though it hurts to hear this from a parent, since we are hard-wired to want to please our parents, sometimes in life you have to make your own choices. The wise parent will recognize this and, even if disappointed, give their blessing and support. JW parents don't get that option, for they are propagandized into believing that you will die for your choice, and soon. It is not surprising to hear these words from a JW parent, therefore. They have the natural parental desire to see their children take after them, and they have the further JW imperative to show disapproval of anyone who leaves. How could they NOT express disappointment?

  They try to make it personal, but on a certain level, it really isn't. It's almost universal among JW parents. You are not alone.

  Brilliant!

  Here's my contribution:

  Song 8 - Loyally Submitting to Theocratic Order

  As Jehovah's people sound throughout the earth
  Truths about the UN, of such priceless worth,
  Theocratic order they must all obey
  And remain united, nothing bad to say.

  (Chorus)

  DPI, our leader, is in full control;
  They equip the NGO that they do enroll.
  'Tis a spir'tual warfare, so we get to lie
  To our group, united, who never ask us "Why?"

  (Chorus)

  Then we have the UN
  and their active troops.
  These will ever guide us
  through their circus hoops.

  So may we be steadfast,
  seek UN to please,
  Loyally proclaiming
  all sneaky decrees!

  CHORUS:
  Loyal submission in recognition,
  This to UN we owe.
  They give protection, but no affection.
  Loyalty to them we show
