  Yeah I agree.
  Sounds like the scam a priest sells someone that if you give money to the church he will pray for you to have Gods favour.

  When JWs Pray for Houston

  when i hear prayers given by brothers why do they only pray for other jws not all people??

  i remember hearing a comment from my mother saying 4000 jws are affected by this...and i'm thinking yes that is sad but what about the tens of thousands other people affected?

  too me it just doesn't seem right to just pray for jws but to pray for all victims.

  Thanks for all the comments...Yeah I know you can't force people to pray for who you want them to pray for but I just thought wouldnt true Christians would think about others who are affected not just JWs and pray for them as well. Not once have I heard a prayer for other people who are suffering only prayers at field service to find spiritual sheep.

  Too me it just doesn't seem right to just pray for JWs but to pray for all victims. I now pray all people. Is this wrong? Should you only pray for people of your own faith?

  JW`s Lie about Christendom hiding the Name Jehovah.or its equivalent Yahweh

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovahs witnesses have been outspoken over the years/decades that christendom have been hiding or obscuring or even eliminating gods name jehovah from the general public.. how true is that statement .?.

  1. it was a catholic monk of the 13th century that first coined the name jehovah in the english language.. 2.the roman catholic douay version of the bible does have the name jehovah in it.

  about the 16th century.

  I need help to understand this scripture. What does it mean?
  Does this make the JW interpretation of all people being destroyed wrong..Since god counts faith as righteousness?

  Marry only in the Lord

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the second half of 1 corinthians 7:39 reads "...she is free to be married to whomever she wants, only in the lord.".

  so we all know that scripture for being doctrine for witnesses when they select a marriage mate and how they are strictly encouraged to marry amongst themselves and look down upon or marked if they marry an outsider.

  i have a friend who met a worldly man and when it came to light, her father gave her the option to end the relationship or to marry him, and she chose the latter.

  Unfortunately for my parents, they said they would kick me out of the house if I dated a worldly girl.

  I could marry the most decent girl in the world. The whole package, has a good job, looks after lost puppies, donates to charity, caring, funny, good morals, respectful and loyal but if she's not a JW they won't approve of her, pretty much disown me and won't want to know her.
