EAsy to say such things when you live here in the USA. But people in others countries who are suffering the ravages of war and famine, disease etc.. Would disagree with you i'm sure! They dont have time to think and ponder these things. They're busy working 12-16 hours a day for a bowl of rice. As much as we want to deny it, things are getting progressively worse. Overpopulation aided by a pope who refuses to relax silly doctrines on birth control doesn't help. The earth was a beautiful place once...It know seems more like a broken syrupy mess.

"there are religious groups -- the jehovah's witness, i believe -- who think it's a sin to have a blood transfusion.

well, what if the president for some reason decided to listen to them, instead of to the catholics, which is the group he really listens to in making his decisions about embryonic stem cell research?

It's sad that we somehow ignore what God has to say about this topic on abortion....it's all about what scientifically defines the existence of life. What have we become....

Satan has enjoyed considerable success in tempting God's people into apostasy in the past. After all, Satan is the original apostate. And make no mistake about it: we are talking about apostasy here. Wicked and arrogant men operating within the Bethel establishment have unquestionably subverted the Watchtower into apostasy. If we doubt the Devil's ability to insinuate himself into the intimate group of Jehovah's people, we merely have to recall the ignominious Judas Iscariot, whom Satan the Devil entered into even as Judas sat at the Passover table with the Lord Jesus on the last night of Jesus' earthly life.

hi all,
I was not a JW or neither did I attend the meetings. so here's my question. How did one of the "ANOINTED" class know they that they were? Did an angel appear to them or was it just a feeling? And if you are of this class, can you ever lose this special calling?
Thanks all!

I have get togethers with friends and family. But nothing on a yearly basis. I'm sure my views are a bit more militant than most, but unlike the many people in this forum who for whatever reason have been hurt by the JW's, I was never a part of that org. In the small amount of time that i've been on this forum, I have read many personal experiences in regards to the JW's. I find many, unfortunately, who run like hell from anything God or religious after their experiences. For us individuals who have not had these adverse experiences, it may seem a bit extreme to have the reactions so posted on this forum. Some may be valid others not. Only God ultimately knows what's really going on. I'll take my chances with my faith in him and hope that i'm not wrong. That's the gamble of putting your faith in something greater than yourself if, of course, you can bring yourself to trust in something that much....
Beckyboop is in her 70's and chooses not to believe anymore. Are the jw's to blame for this? Probably. In my opinion, Satan has succeeded with perfect precision. She rejects organized religion and God, and satan is but a fable. The perfect con.

I understand your point, becky. I have no problem with gift giving or get togethers with friends and family. You can set any day for this. I just don't feel like tainting these functions with rituals which were designed at one point to commemorate festivals and sacrifice to some demi-god. Like I wrote previously, JW's aren't the only religious body that subscribes to this point of view. It has been known and understood for a while, and is now for whatever reason, seen a resurgence. Don't label it as false or bad just because the JW's hold it in their central doctrine. I'm not arguing for the validity of the JW's and their beliefs. But I do find this particular belief of theirs to be valid.
And yes, I am aware of other customs which have their origin in paganism. Truly satan is the god of this world. His deceptions have permeated every facet of our society. We can only do the best we can in this imperfect world.

Are You Influenced By Looks?
by jack2 in

2. friends
on friday night i watched a report by abc tv's john stossel (in the normal 20/20 time slot) that dealt with how humans are influenced by looks.

it was a re-broadcast, and even though this was the second time i've seen it it was still fascinating.

to demonstrate whether we are influenced by appearance, several scenarios were set up, involving people considered attractive and those considered more 'plain'.

I'm super good-looking! And yes, like in that program, I get all the PERKS associated with physical beauty.....ahem.
