she said it was arrogant and made assumptions.. i didn't want to derail that thread so i started another wondering if this is a common thought about this belief on this forum.

i guess i naively thought the value of doing to others as you want them to do to you was generally accepted as positive.. i understand people have different opinions of jesus as a person but i don't want to get into that here.

Viviane: I could count on you to say something both useless but, and this is key, also letting everyone know just how singed your feelings are

Seriously, Viviane ... lighten up :)

I'd like my coffee strong with a drop of milk and a sugar cube. Thank you, Viviane.

Another Music Artist that was raised a JW....

by whathehadas in

i didn't know that this r&b artist from the mid 90's, case, was raised a jw.

one of the host (charlamagne tha god) on this radio show was raised one also.

go to the 18:50 mark where it's brought up.

I was reading the article on Wiki about U2's lead guitar The Edge, and at some point it says that in the early days of the band, he nearly quitted the band for religious reasons. That statement is taken from a source which I cannot open to check the reference, but it made me wonder if he too had been raised in the JW's.

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES OLD SUPREME COURT CASE (THEY LOST) COMES UP IN THE NEWS concerning TERROR and HATE SPEECH!

by Terry in

i know about it and i'll explain the reason why.it has to do with terrorism and hate speech!________________________.

in researching my book about jehovah's witnesses, (i wept by the rivers of babylon) i studied many supreme court cases jehovah''s witnesses were fighting during the 1940's.. one such case is: 1942 supreme court ruling chaplinsky v. new hampshire.. if you had to use just two words to describe this case those two words would be: fighting words.. __________________________.

a jw street preacher incited his fellow citizens to riot against him by insulting everything they held dear: their god, their religion, their government, and their flag.. (that doesn't surprise you, does it?:).

MUST READ AlanF's email to Knocking.org

by sf in

this is a must-read that, hopefully, will stay an "active topic" for all seekers and lurkers, by bumping it to the top as often as possible.

alan wrote it in randys {dogpatch} thread regarding knocking.org documentary and in reply to the email mr. engardio sent to barbara anderson.

however, it is so vital a read that it indeed needs its own thread:.

The Evidence / Proof That Jehovah Witnesses / I.B.S.A. Have NEVER Been Gods Spirit Directed Organisation .

by smiddy in

this is a topic i think every ex jw should have oppurtunity to contribute toward .. it has been 144 years since c.t.russell first published "zions watchtower and herald of christs presence" in 1879 .. red flag 1 " zions watchtower " ?

obviously c.t.russell had sympathy with the zionist movement of the day.. "christs presence" in 1879 ?

that is right and armageddon was to occur in 1914.. when that did not occur 1916-18 was promoted.

Crime rates among Baptized Witnesses are comparable to the general population.

Can you objectively back up this claim?
