i pass them in london on a daily basis at one of mainline train stations in the city and the only people i've seen talking to them are lost tourists (looking for directions).

Sophie's request was from 4 days ago, I expect her request was for the purposes of this article, and that she doesn't need an ExJW anymore.

Currently the most read article on the BBC site. The top picture is Oxford circus station, I work near there and have to see the JWs every day, which is very annoying!

I thought Scott Terry's interview was good.

i will make this clear, i am not a christian (but i am a former jw).

i have noticed a trend among christians and something i wanted to discuss.

it is that those with the strongest faith, the deepest emotional connection to hope and swallow the stories of the bible the deepest.

Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses Reject The Bible's Example Concerning Baptism

by Watchtower-Free in

i asked the below questions to 2 of my elders a few week ago ................................silence.

.

JWs use baptism as their initiation ritual, the doctrine is irrelevant. Their stance on baptism is very weak, for example there's no scripture that compares baptism to public dedication but that's the key element of baptism to a JW.

Wimbledon!

by Laika in

starts today!

now that england have slightly spoiled my world cup with their early failure, i am focusing a little more on the tennis.

i happen to live 15 minute walk from the wimbledon tennis courts so am completely caught up in the atmosphere, i will be joining the queue with a friend thursday night, camping out for the ticket queue early friday morning.

What a final! Shame Federer couldn't pull it off.

What I love about tennis is how the top players all seem such cool people. Rare in sport.

Being a JW would have been much more enjoyable if this was more common, one of the things I don't like about the JW religion is the refusal to encourage their member's talents, this is a good thing.

As a side point I don't really get the comparison to pentecostals here? A bit of entertainment hardly makes them charismatics.
