anyone see the history channel ancient mysterys...who wrote the bible?...was quite interesting..talked about doublets..how the same storys were written differantly but about the same thing..like....noah being told to bring 2 of every animal...then later 7 of every clean animal 2 of the unclean....so which was it?......and how dod moses write about his death if he was alive?...
my fav part was when they were talking bout these doublets and were breaking them into groups showing how there were upto 3 authors of these books..each outher refered to god by diff name....one was lord or yahweh..which would be represented by the letter j..they went on to explain that this was because the english doing the research were ignorant and translated yahweh as jehovah whe that was impossable but was something that stuck and didn't change.... interesting stufff....lol
Sorry I missed that. I love the History Channel! I especially love their exposes on the bible.

i was just wondering what was the most astounding thing you guys have had a jw say to you.
whether it was while you were still in the borg or after you left.
i've heard some rather funny stories on this subject.
"I swear I saw a smurf get up and bite a baby"...LOL
"KISS stands for knights in satan's service"
""Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen has satanic messages when played backwards"
Oh man did I have a wonderful childhood!

not to be rude, but why is it you all knock on people's doors?
don't find that annoying?
would you like it if satanists or muslims knocked on your door trying to convert you?
Pierre,
I can't remember exactly where the name Jehovah came from. It is not used exclusivly by the JW's though. It has something to do with YHWH and Yahweh if I remember correctly. It's been awhile since I actively associated. (Can you tell?) As far as birthdays and holidays their reasons for not celebrating are strictly biblical. The holidays I understand because they have very obvious pagan origins. Birthdays they don't celebrate because of two stories in the bible. In both of these instances someone dies at a birthday celebration. Somehow they stretched this out to mean that noone should celebrate birthdays. Very little of their reasoning is logical.
Good for your Italian Catholic momma! I find that hilarious! You should know that they abhor Catholicism with a passion even referring to it as the whore of Babylon. There isn't much open-mindedness in the JW way of life.

~proud to be a well educated deaf individual.
Hahaha! If they did my sister and I slept through it as we both have the flu and slept in till after 1 PM. If it happened to alot of others I wouldn't be surprised.

Hiya Pierre!
I am an ex-jw as are most of the people here. They believe that 144,000 are going to heaven but that an innumerable "great crowd" will live on earth in paradise after the "Great Tribulation". They are brainwashed into believing that it is their god-given duty to spread the "good news" so that everyone has the privilege to believe as they do and be saved.
Yes it's annoying and to be honest you should feel sorry for them, especially if they are children.

this lucky fellow i have come to know and love celebrates his date of birth two days before jesus does up in heaven!
this is not to say that vallywally was born the same year as good ol' jeezee boy - though his creaking brittle bones are getting close to becoming the same age - valis will have to summon the strength in his monty burnsesque body to blow out that truckload of candles on his cholesterol free birthday pappadum.
i love you, and want to have your babies.. happy birthday my good man!
Have a very happy B-day! Have fun!!!
The thing that made me the happiest on my 29th was listening to "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix a Lot over and over...LOL
~Aztec < ---baby got back
