Catholic ex-JW's? Interpretation Questions for You.
by bavman inin view of the much publicized conversion of tom cabeen on this website i thought i would ask a couple of questions.. do all catholics interpret the scriptures literally or do they allow for metaphorical interpretation?
such as the miracles of jesus or the trinity understanding itself.
i seem to see a difference between some believers and especially between certain traditions within the church itself.

Since JW's Believe in Re-Creation...
by bavman inas we know jw's believe in re-creation based on the appearances of jesus after his death and resurrection.
jesus appeared in different bodies but had the same personality and power.
it would only take a short time of being around the re-created jesus to be able to tell it was him.. my question is what do jw's believe consciousness is?

Nice Experience with my "Worldly" Relatives
by bavman inafter da'ing myself three years ago i wanted to get in touch with some of my "worldly" relatives since i had mostly ignored them for quite sometime and because my witness relatives were shunning me.
about the only relative i had a relationship with was my sister who was df'd.
i wasn't quite sure how to go about this because i didn't know what my parents had told any of them if anything.

Roof Repair-Could Any Brothers Give a Hand?
by bavman ina friend/co-worker of mine who is an inactive dub told me today that the old hall i went to is getting a new roof.
however, he was upset because only "special" people are being allowed to work on it (himself not included, nor his active, in good-standing father).
it seems you have to be "invited" to work on your own kingdom hall roof now.
