The Self- Righteousness of Jehovah's Witnesses
by minimus ini always knew it existed.
but being apart from it more, it's so obvious that the pharisees were in the minor leagues as opposed to the witnesses of today.
there are more rules and implied rules in this organization!

Should I teach my kids about Santa Claus? (Lie vs. Harmless Fantasy)
by AlmostAtheist inmy wife and i got on a discussion about something i never would've guessed we'd need to.
she wants to teach our new baby about santa claus, easter bunny, & tooth fairy, but i don't.
of course, as witnesses we never would have taught that, and i have to acknowledge that i may only be reasoning using that old set of values.. i don't want to look into my kid's eyes and tell her something that i know for a fact isn't true.

Is it Legal or not?
by wizedup ini noticed in phil: 1:7 all my translations say, "it is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since i have you in my heart; for whether i am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in god's grace with me.
the nwt inserted ".... defending and legally establishing of the good news.
they footnote it to acts 25:11 where paul says he's willing to die if he's deserving out of wrong doing....then " if, on the other hand, none of those things exist of which these men accuse me, no man can hand me over to them as a favor.

Advice needed
by jt stumbler ini'm a person who is too hard on myself and i care too much about what people say about me.
how do i explain to the "home congregation friends" on the next "shepherding call" that i have begun to research the "society",and i'm having second thoughts about what i have been taught all these years?

but let's assume it really did take place between pilate and jesus christ.. john 1837"you are a king, then!
