  The Real Whore of Babylon

  by Uncanny in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today i noticed on television via 'entertainment tonight' how that supposed, self-proclaiming jehovah's witness 'sister' and top rating professional tennis player, venus williams, is back in the news again.. this time she was shown cuddling up to her italian bodyguard.

  she had quite a loving expression on her face, while he had a glint in his eyes which seemed to say he'd like to do more things with venus' well toned body than just protect it from intruders or perceived danger.. last year, i posted on h 20 how appalled i was on viewing sr venus running around courtside with an american flag after she won wimbledon in england.

  then there were those stationary tv close-ups while she stood reverently at attention as they played the u.s. national anthem.. my gripe in all this blatant display of double standards not so much concerns ms. williams' antics, but rather how they continue to be tolerated by her religion's governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  Question re: REVELATION

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recently i read some information that state the catholic church now admits that the apostle john definitely did not write the bible book of revelation.

  also, another source stated that revelation may not be an 'inspired canonical' book.

  rather, revelation may be the work of a raving lunatic imprisoned on patmos, who had illusions of grandeur, and may have been on drugs as he invented this fantasy we call also call apocalypse.

  If God wants us to 'find' him, why doesn't he make it a little easier?

  by JW72 in

  hi all, i was just wondering today, which seems to take up a lot of my time these days.. .

  if god wants us to 'find' him, why doesn't he make it a little easier??.

  it seems to me that there are a lot of very 'good' people who have their own religion or people like myself who try to 'find' him but are not willing to blindly have 'faith', and i'm sure there are a lot of you here who are like me in that respect.. .

  Origin of Halloween?

  by Isis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember hearing a "story" or "myth" or whatever you want to call it when i was younger in regards to the origin of halloween.

  the way the story goes is this:.

  a few angels fall from heaven and form human bodies for themselves.. they take human wives.. then they have their children, "the nephilim".. these nephilim are killed in the flood.. when the angels leave their human bodies they mourn their dead children.. the night that they mourn these children is later known as all hallows eve or the night the demons mourn thier dead.. has anyone else here ever heard this story?

  From Lurker to Newbie

  by Silverleaf in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've been lurking on this board for a few months and realize i'm addicted so i finally decided to post.

  i'm not a witness and never was - i was shunned before i could even begin to study because i asked too many hard questions and had the audacity to want to be engaged to jw.

  the relationship ended when his 'loving family in the truth' told him they would shun him if he didn't break it off.

  Why Are You Here?

  the question, "why are you here?

  " is simple enough, and your answer may be straightforward.

  however, when i asked that of myself, i find that my answer is pretty complicated.
