  highlighting mine.. http://www.catholicherald.com/saunders/03ws/ws030925.htm.

  jehovah witnesses.

  This was GREAT! I really think more clergy members (Catholic and non) should know as much as they can about JW's and teach it to their congergations. As a teen, I was basically told 'they're just like us, but got door to door." Before that, in 5th Grade there was a yough girl who didn't recite the Pledge and I asked my Mom about it and she just said it was against her religion. I always felt bad for her, not only was she the only JW in the room, but was one of a handful of African-American children in the school (my sister was another) - whitebread USA.

  I REALLY hated that part of my life...........

  Hi this is Erica just wanted to say....

  hi... i haven't been in the internet in such a long time, i just wanted to say thank you sooo much for your support on the recent events on my lawsuit.. i wanted to tell those who are interested that it is being appealed and it will take about a year for it to go to the apellet court.

  i must admit when i heard the news it was really disappointing, but it made me feel a little better knowing that it was over a statue of limitations and not because they tried to say it never happened.

  i think you all might find this a little funny, a few months back my lawyers had a deposition with the elders involved in the congregation and i was able to attend, one elder kept on saying that he just followed watchtower policy, he also admitted that the two eye witness policy is true, he said that he was no longer an elder and said it was because he wanted to spend more time with his family but is still a jw (of course).

  Watchtower Officials Spill The Beans!

  by Voyager in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  two high ranking watchtower officials admit to quite a lot in these official committee hansard documents.

  if you are one of jehovah's witnesses, perhaps you would like to read how two senators take the watchtower officials apart piece by piece.

  especially on the blood issue, several times the watchtower officials walk right into a wall.. the watchtower officials admit that the tax imposed by france could cripple the entire organization.

  Senator HARRADINE?Do you see the benefit in the ecumenical movement amongst

  Christians to finally become totally united or not?

  Mr MacLean?We do not think that will be of benefit because, from our viewpoint, so

  many of those that are involved in that type of thing are not particularly involved in the Bible teaching.

  No S*#`

  Great reading, one voice, one 'mind', I can almost see my parents using the blood issue with me right now. My favs were this one and the Jewish-Blood laws. CLASSIC!

  A Russian finally told me the European Secret

  2. friends

  i would love to travel to europe some day.

  i have worked with and been friends with many from europe, asia, south america, africa and the middle east for the last 25 years.

  of all these people only the europeans have ever suggested that they can pick an american out of a crowd ... they seem to know us no matter how much we may share the same ethnic background.. i have asked europeans and others may times just how it is they can spot an american, even when we have not spoken.

  SFJim - You're right! But think about it, people have been making alter boy jokes WAY before this Pope came to be. There's no excuse for the amount of abuse & cover ups the Church has been involved in, and maybe he did have something to do with it and of course that's wrong. HEY maybe he did die years ago and they have been doing a "Weekend at Bernies" thing! I do believe we are all judged at the end.

  From http://www.zpub.com/un/pope/ Pope John Paul II (1920- ) is said to be the most recognized person in the world. He is the most traveled Pope in the 2,000 year history of the Church and speaks eight languages. Born Karol Joseph Wojtyla (pronounced Voy-tee-wah) in Wadowice, Poland on May 18, 1920

  He's held this position since 1978!

  I'm not Catholic, but for some reason I've always had a lot of respect for the Pope, not for the Church so much, maybe the obligation the Pope carries for all his followers. It's a tough job and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

  my mother told me that after i get married, she's going to give me the "family happiness" book.

  i've never read the thing, but i know it's a wts publication that often gets given or mailed out to newlyweds who aren't in the troof.

  what's your opinion of this "fine christian publication"?

  Yea....as a Non-JW I got the Happiness Book & now we've added the Childrens 'Bible' to our collection of JW books. Eventually I'm going to go through each one with a fine toothed comb, make notes by the passages and return them to my parents. In the meantime they're next to my Book of Morman and Tibetian Books.
