  ANOTHER CALL TO ACTION: Newspaper ad's?

  by 2escaped lifers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been thinking about this for a while, and a couple recent events here on the board have solidified my thinking.

  first, seattleniceguy's triumph with the un posting a letter regarding the wts affiliation with the un.

  it just shows that with a little combined effort we can accomplish alot.

  i can recall most of the world powers, accordimg to jw interpretation, but what other sect has agreed on the anglo-american world power being in prophesy?

  especially at the turn of the last century?

  how about the chinese, who ruled 1/3 of the earth in medieval times?

  Has anyone ever munched at the memorial?

  by Sirius Dogma in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have always wanted to do that at a kingdom hall.

  over the past few years i celebrated pesach (passover) with some jewish friends and it was so cool to be able to munch the food.

  besides the jewish tradition was much more fun and was more like a party.

  Do you think some sisters used the scriptures to...........................

  by BLISSISIGNORANCE in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ..............................................................control their husbands and force them to put up with all sorts of things?.

  most of us here would agree that alot of men in the wts use and abuse the scriptures to keep women under the thumb.

  we have seen time and again how some married brothers like to have the wife and daughters 6 paces behind him.

  Satanic music or not (Opeth) - boundaries of JW listening material

  by Frantic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as you may or may not know, some jw elders may resent some of their music thier children may listen to.. put simply, a 'death growl' is often viewed as a warped version of satan.

  the band opeth use such death grow, however, are not satanic, with one reference to 'demon of the fall' (one of their songs).

  they also combine death vocals with beautiful vocals, possibly the best in the business, alongside maynard james kennan (a perfect circle).

  What is the WT view of donating to charity?

  by sonofapreacherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .

  i have been completely out of touch for over a decade, but i recall that the general sentiment was that charities are often corrupt or inefficient, and too often have some association with false religion..

  Ooooh and then the end will come

  by johnathanseagull in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hey all.

  afternoon thought here................in the time i was in the truff.........(i forget the scripture), there was the popular saying, it was usually my loud mouth brother (elder!!

  ) that used to be heard saying it and it was .............."yes everyone will have a witness and then the end will come"........everyone meaning the whole wide world...........question is this still a popular saying amonst the dubs, bearing in mind that it's a complete impossibility for everybody in the world to have a "witness" by a jw.. jgull.
