  America Bashing

  with all of the america bashing going on of late, i thought i'd mention the fact that america stands for freedom, as flawed as our system may be.

  you're even free to be critical of the government and it's leaders.

  the many men and women who have died defending this country did so to preserve the rights even of people who hate the u.s. there are many different cultures here, so there are many different attempts at creating laws for the land.

  Honor among exJws

  by ticatoo in

  hello all......some things that have happened during the past week have made me think about exjws and honor.

  we all remember 'theocratic warfare' and how it is ok to lie to those who don't deserve the truth.

  so, my question is.....are exjws as a group more dishonest than people from other religious groups?

  Why going 'door to door' this week felt so good!

  yes that's right, i actually went door to door this week!!.

  well okay, not trolling for new dubs but as a collector for the national kidney research fund.. earlier this year i'd done the same thing for marie curie cancer research.. let me share a few things i've learned.. most people were genuinely pleased to see me at their doorstep - can you imagine how alien that felt?.

  they were pleasant, willing to chat and, with few exceptions, donated to what they could see were worthwhile causes.. i would return home after collecting with a feeling that i had actually accomplished something.. someone, somewhere at some point in time might actually benefit from the time that i, and many other volunteers, put into this charitable work.

  The WatchTower is God's Word

  sitting thru the watchtower study yesterday with my stepson, i noticed something i'd missed while reading the study article myself a few days ago.. without having a wt present i'll quote as best i can and hope someone can find me a direct quote.

  in the third study article the society quotes deuteronomy 6:4-9 which says in part, and these words which i command you this day shall be upon your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sin in your house, and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise.

  (rsv).

  The Watchtower and the Masons

  by ozziepost in

  the latest edition of the free in christ ministries journal contains a very interesting article entitled the watchtower and masons.. drawing upon material from the book the watchtower & the masons by fritz springmeier, it gives the following parallels between the things that c t russell believed and those taught by the masons:.

  * both believe jehovah is the most important word being the basis of their dogma, and the name of their god.

  * both believe god yielded power to a lesser god.
