Dude they are only against birthdays because it makes them different (better) then the rest of the sinful satin lead Christian churches. But the real reason is that the WT is just another cult doing cult stuff. If it is in the bible good if not that’s ok too, it’s all about control not Christ. Don’t let the smoke and mirrors fool you words are only words.

Non-JW asks: Why do JWs allow drinking? But forbid Birthdays?
by whyizit inmy jw friend recently condemned birthdays using two scriptures that spoke of evil men killing people on their birthdays.
seems to me that the men were evil, not the birthdays.
today is my birthday.

Instant Karma's gonna get you (just like it did this PO)
by MinisterAmos inso thing's are going well in dubland and the call comes down that my bookstudy is to be moved to a different congo.
instead of a 30 minute ride to the hall we will be forming a new congo and use the hall only five minutes from my home.. great because gas has just gone to $3.00 per gallon right?.
we meet the new po and he breaks the real news.

Maybe the JWs should start a TV ministry, they could reach more people that way.
Athanasius, the WT is in the print publishing industry.

Questions
by renga inif one is a devout jw and the devout one's parent is a professed non-christian, is the devout jw to associate with the non-christian parent?
if so, what type of relationship is allowed according to jw teachings?
are jw's allowed to assist an elderly non-christian parent?

If one is a devout JW and the devout one's parent is a professed non-Christian,
Then the professed non-Christian is the parent of a cult member. They lie, you are going to lose your child. This website is a very good place to start your journey in to understanding the cult. but you need to read, read and read some more.just so I can be sure to make my self clear, CULT what they say is irrelevant, what they do is destroy families and the mental health or members.
I'm very sorry, good luck

I watched soccer a couple times on satellite. there seemed to be a lot of skin heads and such in the stands but I didn’t see any of that in the world cup. My question is was that race stuff unusual or is there some reason it’s not part of the world cup, Like not letting them in or ticket prices that keep them out?

So....here's my story....
by CordyC inhey guys, it's me- cordy, again with my life story of being in the jws.
i've lived in new york city almost all of my life and have been associated with the jws way too long- since i was a little kid- 8 years old in 1987, plus my mom studied as early as 1983. my mom didn't get baptized until 1995 and i myself got baptized at the age of 17 iin 1996. i know we were probably on a list at some point as a "non-progressive" bible study since it took us so long to get baptized.
my mom and dad split in 1993 and that year was great because we were barely at meetings....then we got a shepherding call and my mom got sucked right back in.

Welcome (((Cordyc)))
what do you think would happen to your mom if you moved to a place like MA or CA were you could be free to be gay? Don’t be ruled by guilt, She would not end up on the street. Do what you need to do to have the life you want. Your not going to get another chance at happiness in some other life, do it now, you have no other time.

lesser light
by dvw inhas anyone noticed, the only time the wts.
ever changes an understanding of doctrine or introduces new light it is because the particular understanding or doctrine is proved to be false, or it's falsity is imminent?

How do you deal with a "Joy Kill?"
by free2beme ina friend of mine just got out of a relationship in which she was abused.
we all have supported her exit, and encouraged her to get counseling.
she is doing well, yet the details of her life and what happened are not something i think should come up with strangers in every day conversation.

"Well I am sure that would be great, if you didn't have your boyfriend beat you until you were unconscious and leave you in the backyard to be woken by the morning sprinklers coming on"
Why do you think this should not be part of everyday conversation? Keeping things like this hidden is bad news, talking about it freely takes power from the abuser. All I would have said is “dam right it is! everything is better when we are not being abused.”

Does anyone think the WTS is actually a 'front' organization?
by truth_about_the_truth ini've been thinking about this for a little while and it appears that this is a possibility.
although i cant say that there is solid evidence, it looks as if the clues are there:.
- clandestine involvement with the un as an ngo.

I would not call it a “front” for some other origination. I would say that, from the shifty way the WT writers spin, some within the org’s upper echelon know it is bunk and use it for there own purposes.
