Preparation on behalf of your son sounds reasonable.
You can give it up when you win custody and he can finally break free!

Satan rules the world, well according to the Watchtower Society, right?
by God_Delusion inhi guys & gals!.
a friend, and current witness, says the jehovah's witnesses have the truth because they're the only religion that state that satan is in control of the world and not god/jesus as some christian religions state.. how can i counter this argument?.
warm regards and love,.

Which part do you want to counter? That Satan rules the world or that JWs are the only religion that teaches this?
Disproving that Satan rules the world might take a lot of work, but that Satan has at least some kind of rulership capacity is pretty common christian doctrine and could be demonstrated with 5 minutes on Google.

Angels were sent to the wrong place!
by abiather ini was reading the portion for the christmas eve.. an angel of the lord appeared to the shepherds and told them: "today in the town of david a savior has been born to you; he is the messiah, the lord.
..... suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising god and saying:glory to god in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.
when the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, lets go to bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the lord has told us about.

The whole Roman empire did embrace christianity. I'm not convinced this was a good thing.

"Shepherd the flock of God"
by Laika inlooking after you dirty sheep can be a challenge for any of the 'gifts in men' among us.
thank jah that the faithful & discreet slave has provided an elder's manual for assistance, i mean, it's not as if the bible is any use in such matters.
here are some of my favourite pearls of wisdom to help us truly appreciate the blessings of the slave class:.

Joe, the elders book specifically says not to take size into account. Disfellowshipping for gluttony is based on eating to the point of illness, not weight.

Graphic violence against a Jehovah's Witness in the name of entertainment
by Debbie Klick ina so called friend of mine sent me this link to a music video.. the song seems to be ridiculing jehovah's witness's and their practise.. but more disconcerting is the visual content, which actually shows the assault and murder of a jehovah's witness.. i can appreciate there is an element of humour involved, but find it in pretty poor taste.. and in no way a positive message to the populace and for the safety of jehovah's witness's in general.. .

Looking after you dirty sheep can be a challenge for any of the 'gifts in men' among us. Thank Jah that the Faithful & Discreet Slave has provided an elder's manual for assistance, I mean, it's not as if the bible is any use in such matters.
Here are some of my favourite pearls of wisdom to help us truly appreciate the blessings of the slave class:
On rape (emphasis theirs):
One who was raped would not be guilty of por-nei'a. Discernment is needed in considering claims of rape, taking into consideration such factors as the mental disposition of the person, the circumstances that led up to the incident, and any delay in reporting.
How loving of the slave to advise us that we don't have to shun all our rape victims! Yet with balance too. Is she an hysterical woman? She probably just agreed to consensual sex without knowing it. Shun her. Did she allow herself to be left alone with another man, wear a short skirt or drink too much? Bitch had it coming. Shun her. Was she so ashamed or afraid of the consequences that she chose to keep the rape a secret? How dare she disrespect our compassionate elders! Shun her.
On disfellowshipping the gluttonous:
A glutton routinely shows a lack of restraint, even gorging himself on food to the point of feeling very uncomfortable or becoming sick.
Because whenever I meet someone who regularly eats to the point of vomiting, my first thought is not 'wow, they must be really struggling with mental health problems, what can I do to get them to seek professional help?' but 'EVILDOER! I MUST SHUN THEE!'
On selling your daughter:
A christian who greedily and unrepentantly extorts a high-bride price may be disfellowshipped from the congregation.
I like my brides cheap.
On repentance (emphasis theirs):
In order to extend mercy the committee must be convinced that the wrongdoer has a changed heart condition and that he has a zeal to right the wrong and is absolutely determined to avoid it in the future.
Guilty until proven innocent.
What a spiritual banquet indeed! And now you too can join in the appreciation, add your own!

When I was in Kenya I visited a congregation where a lot of the brothers didn't have running water and electricity. The person I was with (British) answered on materialism. Embarrassing.

Cofty,
“All of them were coming from the same ISP.”
Thank you for this clue. I was wondering what this BK and Rose Mary are.
Now when you said: “All of them were coming from the same ISP,” now understand what may have happened. I was transferred to my Head-Office last month. And nature of my work also somewhat changed. To avoid virus problem, I put a requisition for a second computer exclusively for net-related work. Office gave me an old computer. I am posting from this computer as I have somewhat relaxed schedule. I don’t know who was using this computer before me in this company of over 3000 people!
If you had told me of this earlier, we could have averted much wastages.
Thank you cofty!
I'm amused that Abi thought Cofty might find this convincing.
