JW - non JW relationships
by sjf84 ini'm sure that if i had come to this website as a non-jw looking for information on this cult when i was dating my jw girlfriend, i would not have taken any notice of a message like this.
but i cannot stress this enough to any non-jw in a relationship with a jw: get out now!
it is only natural to believe that your relationship will be different to the other failed relationships between believers and non believers which you read about on boards like these.

Belief and experience in religion
by Markfromcali inhave you ever noticed how you have belief and experience in different proportions when it comes to religion?
on the one hand you might have the fundy that just crams every experience into the interpretation of a static belief system, and on the other you have the typical new age kind of mindset where every kind of belief is conjured up to support your experience.
for those who have seen the movie office space, remember the game "jump to conclusions"?

Questions about Jehovahs Witness???
by JDWEEE incharles taze russell, founded the jw in the 1860's.
which is based on his own interpretations of the bible.
he had no theology education, and did not know the greek, and hebrew language.. question: how can an average man, with "no" education, interpret the bible correctly?.

Abraham's Sacrifice
by Aalena ini'm taking this philosophy class(oh no worldy wisdom) and the instructer mentioned how it always bothered him how abraham's god(yaweh or jehovah to us) had put him through the ordeal of even asking him to sacrifice his son.
i identified with this because it's something that always bothered me as well.
i know it was supposedly just a "test" but to me it doesn't seem like something jehovah would ever do when taking into consideration his characteristics outlined in the bible.
