Is jesus birthday year wrong?
by Smoky inyou guys probably heard this before, but it is a 1st for me.. i was watching some of the jesus/christmas history documentaries over the holidays, and for the most part it was the information i heard before in documentaries, but then bam!!,.
it is said that the 'person/church' who calculated the year jesus was born, are off by 3 to 7 years....wow.. have any of you heard this before?.
so, does that mean the whole 1914 calculation is messed up?.

What's your expierence at a DUB wedding/reception?
by stillAwitness ini'm invited to wedding/reception tomorrow (on christmas-naturally) only reason i'm going is because its my one chance to get new shoes, dress, the whole bit at my mother's expense (since she seems to think i will find my future middle-aged elder husband at one of these functions)
i definetly plan to buy one of those mini-bottles of seagrams and get buzzed of course.
who wants to listen to 10 different speeches from family and friends about "how wonderful this spiritual union is of so and so) yawn!

Being raised as a Depressed JW...
by Smoky in...i was never happy, always thinkin this is it and holding back on everything that i wanted to do, why?
because that is what is taught being a jw kid.
it seemed to me that it was wrong to have fun, so i did not have any fun.

Dub Conspiracy Theories
by GetBusyLiving inwhat are some paranoid dub conspiracy theories that you've heard?
a dub i chatted with a week ago got all frothing-at-the-mouth excited as he told me one.
some people are trying to have a law passed in canada that will make any gay's who want to serve in a priesthood of their church allowable, regardless of the church's policy.

by Smoky inpreaching (door to door), commenting, or giving talks?.

ATTENTION-------- ALL JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!!!
by minimus ini have to say that the longer that i stay away from jehovah's witnesses, the easier it is to see that they are so wrong!
so wrong about how they live their life, so wrong about their fundamental belief system, so wrong about how they treat people---whether they are jws or aren't.
for any of you lurker witnesses here, please get off the fence and recognize you were never "in the truth".
