Been away, haven't seen you in a while, how've you been
Have you changed your style and do you think
That we've grown up differently, don't seem the same
Seems you've lost your feel for me

{Refrain}
So let's leave it alone, 'cause we can't see eye to eye
There ain't no good guys, there ain't no bad guys
There's only you and me and we just disagree
Oo-oo-oo, oh oh whoa

I'm going back to a place that's far away, how bout you
Have you got a place to stay, why should I care
When I'm just trying to get along, we were friends
But now it's the end of our love song...................

Questions

friends

so how many days a week do witnesses go to church or bible study?.

why don't they belive in military or government?.

when is the day of armegheddon coming i had heard it was suppose to come in 1914?.

stephenw20

law,
ya know you have some real valid questions...but here you may get only one sided answers.......

when you get your answers perhaps you should seek out a JW and ask him.face to face......and then you may get abetter idea of the cult like mindset.......

"So how many days a week do witnesses go to church or bible study?.."5 meetings aweek spread over threedays.....
bible study should be daily!

"Why don't they belive in military or government?."..They
believe in a higher form of government...and not of this world...but will PRODUCE an earthly system of government

"When is the day of armegheddon coming I had heard it was suppose to come in 1914? "yes so did they, and then 1919, ,1931,1935 ,1975, before 2000......you should ask them NOW when its coming.......

Whats the big difference from Catholic and Jehovah's Witness?
CROSS< TRINITY< PERGATORY<PRIESTS ARE PAID

What are restrictions Jehovahs Witnesses have that other people don't?> many too many to list....not taking blood , smoking, sex before marriage, being no part of the world.

What if you have to work during the time of church or bible study?
its a matter of "conscience" but it is not encouraged....... the MEETINGS should come first.........

we al know adam did his little diddy..and then we have the prophecy of redmption about the serpent and the woman and her seed........... enter noahs time........god says he was tired of man , being so ruthless and to get rid of the lot of them............ but noah found favor in gods eyes........ if he destroyed everyone..and had noah not the faithful wine sucker, boat builder....... the prophecy would have been for nought?.

or what?

Question to shunned persons

by HesterPryne in

hello everyone,.

if your jehovah's witness relatves came to you and said..... "praise jah, there has been 'new light" and we can associate with you again!".....

what would you say or do?

stephenw20

Had enough,

that is a lie. as is the fight they portray for religious freedom in the civil rights courts...

....and you can exercise your freedom as long as you remain a JW........in good standing..........

the very freedom they fight for and ask for pats on the back for , they dont recognize for others.......see back of May 15 2001 WT

what a ridiculous postion.....
