  WT Attacks Being 'Easygoing' October,1,02 WT

  by ISP in

  2. bible

  should you be easygoing?

  most people would probably feel that it is a compliment to be thought of as an easygoing person, one with a relaxed, placid, tolerant nature.

  however, there is another side to easygoingness.

  New Tract-Youths What Will You Do With Your Life

  by Scarlet in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was wondering if any of you have read this tract that was given out at the district convention .. i found in this tract they are pushing the fulltime ministry more than ever before.

  they in so many words say if you are not a fulltime minister you are not serving god.

  it stated that youths today should not strive for academic success.

  i just wanted to get some opinions on this matter from everyone.

  support here in the states is pretty solid but very weak in europe.

  i will make my prediction (ie you know) that we will be having a little sand party within a year.

  NWT Question

  by glitter in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a couple of years ago i got into an conversation with a pioneer about bible translations, i said that the nwt is an american translation (i didn't think this was such a controversial statement!

  ) and she jumped down my throat about it!

  i said "but it's called the new world translation, and "new world" is what europeans used to call north america" and she said "no, it's the new-world translation - because it's for jehovah's witnesses and we will get through to the new system" and while i was trying to reason with her she also said it was a "new world-translation, it's a new translation for all the world".. has anybody else met somebody who thought this?

  Test: Where do you stand politically?

  by JanH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sometimes political orientation is described through a left-right axis only, which is obviously inadequate as it tends to associate gandhi and stalin, and make pol pot a radical and hitler a conservative.. this is a good, short test that asks you a number of questions and places you on a two-dimensional axis.. take it here: http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/.

  i took the test and got the following result:.

  your political compass:economic left/right: -1.12. authoritarian/libertarian: -6.21. that is, centrist with a slight leftist bent, strongly libertarian.

  UK & IRELAND MAP

  by ballistic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

  (and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

  anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.
