"Jehovah's Witnesses Really Don't Love People, Do They?"
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
this was a comment that was made to me when i expressed that witnesses shun or disfellowship people and refuse to have any normal contact with them, or that they "mark" them and give a public speech about ones that even date a non-jehovah's witness.

after the statement was made, i stated that witnesses were more interested in numbers such as how many knocked on doors or went to a meeting......................it is a sad but true commentary.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JESUS' TEACHINGS & PAUL'S
by Mary in
1. jw
2. friends
has anyone noticed that alot of paul's ideas that are part of the scriptures contrast directly with jesus'??

paul said about fornicators, idolaters, etc.

that they should be booted out of the congregation and should be "treated as a person of the nation, or a tax collector" and that no one should "even say a greeting to him.

which is worse?

a convicted murderer getting executed or a convicted murderer being released after serving the minimum of a life sentence, 15 years?.

btw, before anyone even mentions the low recidivism rate of murderers, you must realize that that is only for those that have been caught.

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!.

What Do Un-Believers Not Believe?

one of the things that used to annoy me in the new testament was the "believe in jesus" message.

any explainations seemed fuzzy at best so i decided to take a run at it from behind and find the definintion of an un-believer.here is what i came up with and i welcome other opinions.

many of the people around jesus were jews, they walked with him, talked with him, listened to his teachings and witnessed his miracles.
