  I spent most of the time just trying to beat the heat and boredom by imaging I was Mike Schmidt or Greg Luzinski standing at the plate waiting for pitches to hit over the fence.

  CLASSIC!

  Ah! I remember those 70's/80's years myself at the hot "Vet". I hated the Vet for coneventions! Hot. Boring. Lame.

  I was a 300 level guy because you could get shade for most of the day.

  I can't wait for the rest of your story which will no doubt contain stories of "Demons vs. badwillies-JW-family" and "Breakdancing in the Kingdom Hall".

  Latest Book Study

  by integ in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  at this weeks book study (which i attended for the first time in 6 months) the book is "united in worship of the only true god".

  in paragraph 10 it talks about the united nation's, and not in any glowing terms either.

  the paragraph condemns her and anyone who would be a part of her.

  integ...

  I think you have made a couple of errors.

  The book currently being studied is 'WORSHIP THE ONLY TRUE GOD'.

  Paragraph 10 reads,

  "Does the historical record show hat any group in the last days has pursued strict neutrality in imitation of the early Christians? Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses have done so. All during this time period, they have kept preaching that God's Kingdom is the only means to bring lasting peace, prosperity, and happiness to lovers of righteousness. (Matthew 24:14) But with regard to controversies among the nations, they have maintained strict neutrality.

  By no means am I a defender of the WT, but facts are facts. Granted, I do not go to any meetings but I am basing my information based on the book that my wife uses for the book study each week.

  Please clarify.

  Can a false religion perform a legal marriage?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if every other religion is false, why does the watchtower recognize marriages performed in other churches?

  example: if you get baptized in another faith, the watchtower will say that it isn't the real baptism that leads to salvation.

  so why does the watchtower recognize a marriage performed by a false relgion, and not the baptism performed by the same church?

  JH-

  That very question has bothered me, too. It's illogical from a religious standpoint.

  These JWs will reason that these jobs are perfect because they have lots of time for Field Service in between the "pick-ups" and "drop-offs"

  However, only 2 of the 8 mentioned above are Pioneers.

  Adding:

  Hear words (whether truth or lies) about the WTS that show them in a good light...this is positive.

  Shun facts (such as child abuse cover-ups, UN scandal) said about the WTS because they are negative.
