  Mormons vs. Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Downtowner in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  forgive me if this has been covered before but i haven't seen anything about it recently.. in exploring the two faiths, mormons vs. jehovah's witnesses, which were both founded in the 1800s with the mormons being slightly a slightly older religion it seems mormons is a more attractive religion than jehovah's witnesses.

  do not get me wrong, i'm not looking at joining the mormon church.

  but i still enjoy studying other faiths and different belief systems.

  "Extreme physical abuse" only grounds for separation, NOT divorce.

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  forgive me if i'm a bit slow with the title to this thread.

  the true absurdity of the cult that robbed me of my intellect for so long is still beginning to dawn on me.. i'm doing more research into domestic violence as part of a response to the notorious "wife beating" article in the feb 2012 watchtower.. i was shocked to find a question from readers in the w75 5/1 p286-288 which basically said that a battered wife would not be scripturally free to divorce her husband.

  my first reaction was that this stance must have changed since 1975, but then i dipped into my own memory from serving as an elder, and of course, adultery (including porneia) is given as the only scriptural grounds for divorce down to this day.. please can somebody correct me if i'm wrong, preferably with a reference?

  going out in "service".

  we used the term thousands of times, but did we ever consider the term itself and what it actually meant?

  but whom were we serving?

  Living With Limitations

  by choosing life in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just curious how some have handled living with disabilities.

  what do you do when you can no longer do what you want?

  how do you learn to focus on the things you have left and not what you must leave behind?.
