  a little girl had to die for your beleif

  by jane53 in

  sad, sick and unmerciful you must be, to accept that a little girl's life is taken at just 15 when it could have been saved.

  a book that hints blood transfusion is the work of the 'devil'.

  a supernatural being that we don't know for certain exists.

  hey everyone, although im currently studyin with jehovahs witnesses, im dont understand the thing with jw's and a secular career or degree..i wonder is there biblical reference to it...???

  Totally happy in your marriage?

  by Lost Diamond in

  1. social
  2. family

  how many of you are totally, incredibly happy in your marriage?

  how many of you feel that your spouse is your absolute soul mate and you couldn't even imagine your being married somebody else?

  talking with the women at work, i'm surprised at how many are not totally happy.

  Dealing with different emotions

  by back2dafront in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  anybody else ever get angry at the fact that witnesses think they're the only righteous ones in the world?

  it bothers me so much.

  it's like they say it's ultimately up to jehovah to decide, but in the same breath they condemn you if you're not a dub.
