Physical and/or Spiritual
by Inkie in
1. watchtower
2. bible
no doubt all (with few and rare exceptions) believe that the physical world exists.

however, what i should like to know is, how many here believe that a spiritual world exists?

and, if you believe that a spiritual world exists, do you believe that the two worlds (or universes, call it what you like) each exist separately and distinct one from the other?

by Billygoat in
1. jw
2. experiences
i finally decided after being here for over two years now, that i would finally get down in writing my jw history.

i've posted it in my new profile, but since there are so many new people here i thought i'd go ahead and post it too.

i do this to encourage you to pen your jw history.

Love-Trademark of the christians?
by vesse in
1. jw
2. experiences
all of you who have a little bit more than usual objective view of the religions.what have you noticed while observing the way how the parishioners of different churchers are showing love toward their fellowbelievers .is there any difference compared to jt's.i know that wts is boasting that the true and genuine love exists only among themselves.i don' t know exactly what a hell this means?one argument i have been told is that the door-to door preaching is one evidence of christian love ( far - fethed , i think ).

what about at the congregational level?.

any feedback?

Convention Concessions
by Euphemism in
1. jw
2. friends
here's a question for you all... why does the society insist that all concession stands be closed at their convention facilities?.

i can understand that back when they provided their own food service, they would not want the competition.

(and in all fairness, their service was undoubtedly cheaper for the friends, many of whom have limited funds.

For real or slip of the pen?
by seedy3 in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
ok in another thread found here i found here http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/55200/1.ashx it references some articles by roberta moore, whos children were killed and she is blaming the wts (and i don't doubt it at all), you can read about it in that thread and corresponding links.

now as much as i feel for this person, because i know, this cult is responsable for countless deaths all over the world be it from suicide, "persicution", the blood issue and the list goes on.

i wonder if these pictures are for real in what she is claiming or can we go to any picture and find hidden symbols that are just the way the picture was drawn, with no real meaning at all.

Daughter counselled on dating a wordly guy
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
my daughter recieved this email from one of her witness "friends".

she is counseling my daughter (indirectly) about her choice to date a "worldly" guy.. hey, so, we had a talk recently that was about love & respect in your marriage.

the brother brought out that this was more for us witnesses rather than worldly people, because it seems that even in the truth now marriage has lost it's correct place.
