Will Jehovah`s Witnesses join with other religions in Compensation Payouts ?
by smiddy injustice mcclellen asked g.jackson about compensation for victims of child abuse , and mcclellan suggested it be by a consortium of groups , presumably religious and secular in nature as a pool to dispense approppiate compensation to all of the victims involved .. g.jackson hesitated and said they would have to look at the details of that proposal , before committing to it.. jehovah`s witnesses consider themselves as the only true religion and ,all others as false religion .. they take pains to separate themselves from from any association with other religions , not even being included in newspaper notices about church services.they want to keep themselves separate and distinct from false religion as they see them.. so how do you think they will handle this suggestion / requirement ?
will they join in aligning themselves with "babylon the great" in compensation .?.
didn`t they align themselves with another religion in the u.s.a. some years ago , that had to do with the w.t.

Has this compensation scheme gone live now? How would a person go about applying for compensation?

I was extolling the virtues of a 12 year old Macallan to a friend of mine after dinner in a restaurant (and he was agreeing with me) when the waitress came over and said these exact words, which are burned into my memory forever:
"Oh, by the way, it turned out that we didn't have any Macallan's so I gave you Bells. I hope that's ok?"
Probably the most humiliating experience of my life. My wife laughed herself sick.

My Story
by SamTheGinge inso, i joined just yesterday after coming across this forum looking at beth sarim, and i though that i would share my story with you.
it will no doubt be very similar to a lot of others, but it's a way of getting to know me at least.. i was brought up as witness from the age of 4 years old, my dad picked up the 'truth' from one of his friends in the pub and it seemed to go from there, he would quickly get baptised and progress to becoming a ministerial servant and then an elder.
from a young age i wanted to be like my dad and become a pioneer, a ministerial servant and then an elder... perhaps even becoming a co. the world, spiritually speaking, was my oyster.

Welcome! That sounds like quite a rollercoaster ride. Hope things are good for you now, my wife is sort of pagan, not Wiccan though. We go to solstice parties and stuff. It's fun!

2013 NWT - Conveniently Circular
by theunbeliever inthis is my first post.
as i am currently disfellowshipped, i have no one else to discuss these things with.
even if i was actively associated with the dubs, i suppose i'd still have no one else to discuss this with.

If you do a Google image search for Babylonian world view you can see what the "Cosmos" looked like to people at the time the bible was being written. The earth is a flat disk with a solid hemisphere of the Firmament above it. Above the firmament and below the earth are the waters of chaos.
Read any scripture that describes the world and you'll find that it fits perfectly into this picture.
The flood makes a whole lot more sense too.

Why are JWs so sensitive to criticism?
by Half banana ini remember a roman catholic priest acknowledging on the bbc that the outrageously anti-clerical tv comedy father ted was a humorous mocking of his church but an acceptable thing.. try mocking the jw religion to a believer and the result is so very different.. just why is it that jehovah's witnesses can never take even the faintest hint of criticism of their religion?.

I've found I can criticise the bible but not the Org.
I mean Samson? 300 foxes? Really? Live foxes??
I live in a heavily fox populated part of the world but unless there was some kind of fox shop nearby there is no way in Hades that I could get hold of 300 live foxes.
This kind of statement gets met fairly good naturedly by my JW family, I guess because they can invoke god magic for any biblical weirdness. They can't invoke god magic for current day stuff though because big J doesn't get involved right now.

I like that idea! So if Adam hadn't been so fussy we could all have Sea Otters for wives? Cool!

Truth is rare.
What we have is "Working hypotheses", which we call truth until reality forces us to change.

Good on you P.E.!
I've not been to a Catholic event, but I have been to a High Anglican wedding. It's interesting to observe but, of course, the main benefit is being a part of your social group and not an outsider. That's what being a JW always denied you, being part of society.
