dear straight dope:.
genesis 9:20-25 seems to be one of the strangest stories in the bible.
without going here an there, we must stick to the facts and not go beyond what is written. Noah got drunk and something happen during that time and Ham & his son were part of something bad and Ham's son gets cursed.Ham as the father didn't correct his son or stop whatever he did because his son is cursed and now Ham has to live with that guilt.Remember if you want wisdom Ask God (In prayer)
Thats my two cent an a dime
it was my experience during my 13 yrs as a jw that congregations usually had a social clique.
in other words, there would be a group of people in a congregation that would only associate (and sometimes only go out on field service too) with people within that social clique.
if you were in the clique, fine.
you said JW's fall from Grace....
They don't believe in Grace to begin with, the word has been removed from their bible.
i know they are renewed yearly, and here's my dilemma......my mother being a devout jw (and me well faded) - i know i am named on her card as next of kin (she mentioned it a few weeks ago) and over the years she has always asked me to stand against the blood issue on her behalf if she's unable to do so.
i have always agreed, because whatever i believe, i also respect the belief of others too.
now i'm wondering what exactly is on there........is it a flip flop?
Once again the WTBTS are up to the same old stuff. Every year that goes by they get new light and slowly start to change this an that. I thank Jesus (The God-Man) My Lord that I can see right through all there lies.Think about how many people died/almost died listining too that cult.Didn't people learn from what happen at Jones Town in 1978, it's 2005 an people are still drinking the Kool-Aid.

blondie is always on top of everything. Thanks for having a Heart of Glass.
i had posted a few times since my awakening asking how best to talk to my wife about my new take on things.
i was very afraid of handilng it poorly and chasing her deeper into the organization.
instead, she basically said, 'i've been feeling the same way!
That is Great news and NIV in hand, Praise the Lord. Remember Jesus is Almighty God in the flesh ,read John 1:1 from a correct Bible like NIV. also The book of Isa. to prove the deity of Christ, you can even use there own bible to show the dubs. I think in cha 9 Jesus is called mighty God and in the very next cha (10) God the father is called mighty God the JW's won't point that out. also in cha 44 verse 6 it said there is only One God but in the JW's bible on john1;1 they put the letter "a" in there and therfore the dub's worship 2 Gods 2 many, they hate when I point that out to them. Take care, bye

man chooses faith over his daughter?s lifepramod giri.
siliguri, october 8. a man in west bengal who refused to provide a blood transfusion to his critically ill daughter because his religion forbade it has been arrested.. sanjay lakra is a follower of the group jehovah's witnesses, who believe that blood transfusions are a sin.
that makes me sooo mad, I mean it's one thing to mess up your life but now children lives are being messed up from that cult. Did the child die or is she in a safe place an got the needed blood??? This is sooo sadall we can do is pray that God helps them to see the real light.
just curious about this question today and wondered if anyone else has pondered this.. is worship meant to be a reverent show of appreciation for life that god imparts to individuals?
if that's the case, and someone - by the mere accident of their birth - has a truly crappy life, why should these people worship god or show him "appreciation" for their unfortunate circumstances?
why should anyone who endures hardships worship god, particularly if they have been worshiping god and then all of a sudden a heap of trouble just plops into their lives, unannounced and unwelcome??.
I would just say why not read the book of Job. There is a larger picture going on that we can't see right now But we can know about it. Remember in the Beginning Everything was Perfect...Adam, Ms Eve, Garden, Heaven, Earth, etc etc. I say worship God because he Is Love and has already opened the way back up By the second person of the Divine trinity His Son....Jesus. Jesus Is Lord
That's my two cent an a dime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

remember people the name Jehovah was coined by a catholic monk. That name is very Inaccurate/incorrect.
YaHWeh is the most accurate/correct

The JW prize is a Big Cup of Kool-Aid with an even Bigger Suprise
been thinking about what blondie said about the use of jehovah in 1 thessalonians:4 and how they try to pass the word lord of as both jesus and jehovah ........so i looked some stuff up.... i cant think why i was so convinced that the disciples used gods name.
im willing to be convinced though.
example of jehovah being added and lord meaning both jesus and jehovah
how about "abba" which means daddy/father or how about YaHWeH which is more right or God of abraham, Isa.,etc
