Why I am leaving JWD
by logansrun ini'm leaving this forum...at least temporarily.
as i mentioned in conversation over dinner at the chicago apostafest, my upcoming school schedule (which begins next week) combined with my workload will make it very difficult to be an active member on this forum.
perhaps i'll check in occassionaly when life is a little slower but for now i'd better distance myself from the on-line scene or else the other elements in my life will suffer.

Book having to do with JWs
by under74 inokay, so i finally finished this book let it blurt: the life & times of lester bangs, america's greatest rock critic....i been reading it on plane rides so it's kind of taken me awhile.
i know i've mentioned it on a couple of threads and said it was good...and it is, but the author jim derogatis i think gets jw doctrine all mixed up.
just for background sake, lester bangs was raised a jw and it's brought up a lot in the book because it (of course, made an impact on bangs short life) .

Opinions on Matthew 15:21-28
by wordlywife inthis is a passage that has always bothered me, and was wondering if it bothered anyone else.
to me it sounds as though jesus thinks of some people as dogs and not deserving of anything.
maybe i have an incorrect view on this.

Parousia- Is it just me? Has anyone else noticed this?
by upside/down inthe entire premise of the debate of christ's "presence" as discussed in matt24:3 to me makes no sense.
here's why: we have to assume by the question asked by the apostles, that they understood the whole "presence" concept, which they didn't.
they were merely asking him when "the end" would come, i'm not even sure if they know what "the end" really meant.

"Replacement doctrines" - things which JWs lie about to the interested ones
by Pole independing on the denomination of their interlocutor the witnesses often claim that their religion is free of a whole bunch of non-sensical doctrines which are so common in other religions.
oftentimes, however, it proves that they have something that i'll call "replacement doctines" - beliefs which which are difficult to figure out for the 'interested ones', but which in the long run prove to be just as bad as the stuff they disclaimed or worse.
example: in a catholic country like poland, jws often boast about the fact that they don't have the confession routine, where a person has his/her sins forgiven by a priest who acts as a representative of god.
