Social life in the 60's and 70's was great, beach parities, camping out, sports, gathering and lots of booze, square dancing, Jazz concerts, fishing, graduation party for the young ones (high school), once a week brothers would gather in our local gym for basketball (we had some great games). Yes those were the days, friends would stick around after the meetings and have meaningful conversation and then the sh--t hit the fan..1975....

Do you (or did you) have much of a social life as a Jehovahs Witness.
by UnshackleTheChains ini ask this question out of interest, because as a jehovahs witness for some 26 years, i have always felt that there is an 'all work, no play' culture within the organisation.
the organisation doesn't promote social gatherings.
i could count on one hand each year how many get togethers we have had.

Satan in Heaven
by pleaseresearch inthis has always baffled me.
that is why was satan and his demons allowed to be in heaven for so long after they split from god?.
if we did that then we are out of the congregation, members are shunned and also kicked out of families homes.

How do you teach a bunch of kids about GOD--who He is, and what HE does??Gather them all in a classroom then never show up..GOD and Satan conversation never happen.

305 killed in Mosque
by James Mixon inso why do we have a decline in religion..if god would wipe these militants groups off the face of the earth i might believe there is a god.....so they (sufis) practice some strange things, veneration of tombs, the sacrificial slaughter of animals and what is termed sorcery and soothsaying, that is no reason to kill 25 children and 280 adults.
i don't give a damn if they worships rats, what is the harm...what the hell is with this group, the islamic state and other sunni extremist groups deem sufis group heretical..stupid a---holes.

Bringing reproach on Jehovah's name.
by ScottyRex ini have thought long and hard about this, you know in those midnight hours.. you will probably string me alive in what i say, but here you go-.
i feel that the jw's do have the truth.
i do agree with the doctrines and biblical exgenesis they propound.i do feel that they have the 'truth' i do understand they are imperfect, and i think they have had to 'refine' their teachings as time has gone on-and change accordingly- i see nothing wrong with this.

What is the benifits to living forever?
by Jayk incan anyone give me a valid reason for it?
growing old is a drag.
the witnesses idea of ever lasting life, that you will come back to your most youthful state is such a bs answer..

I guess there will be no injuries in paradise...But suppose you are out hiking in the hills and you fall a mile down and land on your head or you are walking in the forest and a 500lb grizzly bear forget he is in paradise and tired of eating grass and decide he wants a drum stick (your leg). I guess paradise will be accident proof, how fun that will be..You will be able to sky dive without a parachute..

A class mate and a friend had a encounter with Manson family. In the 60's my friend was a member of the US organization (the group the started Kwanzaa). My friend invited me to one of it's recruiting program, but I was on my way to Vietnam and the group was too radical and revolutionary. Manson was looking for group to start his racial war, my friend group was on the FBI list. So one night my friend and a few members returning home from a US meeting encountered the Manson family exiting his home. My friend had weapons in his home but nothing was taken. They didn't realize who he was until later when he (Mason) and his family was arrested.
