  I think most JWs just hope and pray that nothing happens to them so they would never have to decide what fractions they may or may not need.

  One the one hand they say their beliefs are simple and bible based and on the other hand they... you get the idea.

  Cognitive dissonance at it finest.

  I was just joshing with ya Farkel because of how harsh you are to some people. I am sure you are one of the best musicians around these parts. I was just a little curious as to how you would respond to my jesting with you. I am not a musician but do enjoy listening to music and have listened to some of your online music in the past and it sounded great.

  If you don't have the ability to appreciate Scott Joplin and his subtle syncopation then bite me. If you don't even know what syncopation means, then bite your own toes and consider yourself a total idiot.

  I enjoyed the music. The timing may have been a little off but other than that it was wonderful.

  With a little more practice you could be a great musician.

  We need solid advice from former Elders

  by peacefulpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  almost unbelievably after 4 years of staying away from the hall and the jws last week they called and said there were allegations of apostasy against us.

  we have been very quiet about our feelings and so were very surprised and angered.

  we were told that they were going to discuss the allegation and determine if we would be formally accused of apostasy.

  What if the other sheep of John 10:16 are actually the Gentiles?

  by Daniel Michaels in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  what if the ?other sheep?

  of john 10:16 actually are the gentile believers that came to christ following his resurrection?

  what would this mean for the watchtower organization, since so much is riding on their interpretation of this passage?
