  World Religion 101 Online

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many of us who were raised as witnesses did not have the opportunity to go to college or study world religion from an unbiased viewpoint.

  darren witwer, a teacher from minneapolis community & technical college has taken the time to publish his world religion class syllabus and informative links online.

  i cannot critique this information as i have no background in religious studies to compare it to.

  i remember hearing stories of an elderly brother who would go to the door and ask the householder what their favorite color was.

  if the householder responded blue...he would pull out the 'truth' book, if his/her response was green it was the...well, you get the idea.

  this old brother had a book in every color and always placed them.

  Brother Where Art Thou?

  a quick introduction then on to my 2nd post *smiles*.... general greetings & well wishes.....i'm new to jwd, but not new to xjw/jw chat.

  i'm 36 years old (and yes...i'm wearing a bonnet and a pink outfit in my pic) (that means i'm a chick for all you lusty men)i've spent the last 3.5 years online laughing, crying, generally healing from my watchtower divorce.

  so now that i've let go of all the spit n venom...i sit here worried that my posts will lack the sarcasm and general wicked tone necessary to keep your interest...maybe i should invest in some semi-nude glamour shots?
