i am not a jehovah witness however i'm ver interested in jw doctrine.
i consider myself somewhat of a scholar.. i first attempted to get my questions answered by having jw's come to my home.
however, i was most disappointed because they were too busy trying to recruit me than trying to answer my questions.
BTW Trisilex I can recommend lots of books...just cruise the amazon ads here on books by Ray Franz, Penton and others...EXCellent reading.
why do you want the mindless jw view anyways...there's so much more out there...you got the juiced up nwt and the "reasoning"(lol) book, now all u need is a study (lol)..

Is that what you're looking for...mr spock
Tirisilex: you said... Most Bible believing people believe in a God who holds an Unending wrath of torment against those who just simply do not believe in him. JW's atleast see a God who instead of having an Unending Wrath of torment give those who he see's unworthy a void of death where there is no eternal suffering.
well, i believe the Bible inasmuch as it contains historical content, etc. and those aren't the Gods I see....?***? I think most bible-believing people don't see God for who He really is and just make stuff up to suit their own petty agendae...
the JW "god" is a hitman in the sky...the JW view takes a dim view of opposers and rejoices in the destruction "SCHADENFREUDE"(sp?) while they are wisked away to a new england idlyllic paradise in the countryside while people get eaten by dogs, trampled in their winepresses of blood and sucked down into cracks in the earth.

As with anything, caveat emptor

point well taken; it's a fine line between cautious yet not being cold-hearted or unreasonable...
The WTS claims "reasonableness" yet practices something quite contrary and unchristian...
there is something to be said for gut instinct...
I read the whole thread too and came to your same conclusion.

Lin, I read your post there too, you seem to be defensive that he mentioned your niece "Jesika" why don't you have an email tete-a-tete with her and find out the real truth about the situation...
self-suffienciency is always easier when we have our full set of 'faculties', when you're deaf it's like playing a whole hockey game short handed...
AGuest, you're right on.
damn right!
i know the jws by their fruits!.
i know christianity by its fruits!.
I have a new placard...
Religion is STILL a snare and a racket!
hit my posting limit and am using my second account..... i don't know if anyone can help or not.. but i am in a desprate situation whereas i have to swallow my pride and seek out some help.. i am behind rent as well as my morgage ( i own a moble home on a lot rent).. need food as well.. phone needs to stay in service since i am deaf and need it as part my text communication for hopes of landing a better job.
sister can email me to let me know if a employer calls, so i can drive over and find out what's up from there.. i work at wal-mart and alot of us have our hours cut to 20+ hrs a week, so this is hurting me fianacially.. job hunts is hard since i am deaf since most employers seems to prefer hiring a hearing person.. i know of a deaf friend who is unemployed and he went thru 20 job interviews in a month.
none of them ever called or emailed him to say he got a job.. family can't help since they all have their own problems to deal with.. i can post all the info you need if anyone needs it, such as my landlord's address and my morgage address if anyone wants to mail a check directly to them.
<P>Well, at least there seems there's a couple here like sKally that might help you out...at least not dismissing you outright as a troll or your plight as a scam...a Christian would be cautious but upon reasonable proof of legitimate need, would be generous...</P>
<P>just my 1 denarius...</P>
<P> ;</P>
<P>give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, feed him for life...there were good solid leads given by some in this thread to go on...considering the fact that you already are working part-time albeit "working poor"...</P>
<P> ;</P>
<P>It's not like we haven't helped others who we "know" here financially and otherwise...like the Calgary teen's dad whose daughter died from an illness involving the blood issue...and then we never rushed to judgement as to their legitimate need...thank God for the 'net that it is an even greater tool in the hands of the deaf ones...just think of that next time you give advice to "sell their 'puter...." like tell the fisherman to go sell his net and boat!?!</P>
<P> ;</P>
we almost danced away from the door after, to recall a scripture where jesus called his disciples fishers of men, my field service buddy was about to reel in another "marlin"!
the dream
i awoke one night from what i considered a nightmare but many of my brothers and sisters considered a dream soon to come true.
I'm going over a lot of the old H2O stuff this week...just astounding the progress many here have made in six years!
