What proof is there that the JWs were chosen by Jehovah to be His people?

what proof is there that the jws were chosen by jehovah to be a "people for his name"?

growth in numbers is not proof, other religions also have displayed such growth over the last 100 years.. material prosperity is not proof as other religions also have considerable wealth, both in cash, property and real estate.. printing the watchtower and awake!

magazines certainly is not proof!.

If you didn't vote yesterday, why not? (I didn't)
by AlmostAtheist in

in the u.s. we had a voting day yesterday that decided more than just any one candidate for any one position, but which ideology (democratic or republican) would hold sway over the government.

if ever there was a time to weigh in, you'd think this woulda been it.. but i didn't.. of course i'm lazy.

of course i'm distracted, and busy, and unsure of where to vote.

Our Lawsuit against the WTS
by gordon d in
1. jw
2. friends
can anyone share their input (stupid question) on the possibilties of former jw's or df'd dubs filing a personal or class action lawsuit against the wts or it's local congregations based upon defamation of character.

in some states there is the provision of a slander/libel suit based upon "malicious use of truthful information".

i would think that some precidence has been established by similar suits against other social and religious groups.

SAW III - A review of the movie
by Elsewhere in
1. social
2. entertainment
unfortunately i can only review the first 5 or 10 minutes of the show as a result of the fact that i got seriously nauseous twice in that time period resulting in my having to walk out.

simply put, that show is seriously f. i've never been a big fan of horror movies because the plot lines and acting have traditionally been of extraordinary poor quality.

the main characters always make some seriously stupid decision and end up being killed by... whatever.

Do you have any "old friends"?

hey all,.

i was thinking today that many of us lack something that other people enjoy -- old friends.

we either weren't close to our high school friends, or sort of shut them out of our lives.
