Obesity vs. Smoking - which is worse?
by Why Georgia in.
when i was going to the kingdumb hall people were being actively disfellowshipped for smoking because it was bad for you and an insult to jehovah.. how come nobody disfellowshipped the 400 pound sister who brought her own chair or stood in the back because she couldn't fit in her chair?.
why didn't anyone disfellowship the bookstudy leader for looking pregnant when he obviously wasn't.. why is cigarette addiction bad but not food addiction.. just wondering?

JW's protected from Tsunami by going to the meeting... from bethel
by Max Divergent incame across this from one of the "faithfull".... now just watch out now you inactive ones there's a tsunami looking for you, so just be sure you "keep you eyes on the prize ocean".
just spoke to [some bethalite at a bethhell near you] last night.. she was telling us of the news regarding our brothers and sisters in the tsunami region.
in one area all the brothers were at the meeting when it struck, except for one sister who was home sick and a 6 member family of inactive ones who were caught up in it because they hadn't gone to the meeting.

great tribulation or no great tribulation that is my question
by BlackSwan of Memphis inso, what's the deal?
are witnesses now expecting a tribulation to precede armageddon or are they expecting armageddon without a tribulation?.
because in the last couple of years some of the things i am hearing and reading, lead me to believe they are phasing out the concept of a tribulation.

Best Bible Translation?
by mywifeisaJW inmy wife has been a jw for about 10 years (we have been married 15 years).
over the years i have tried various strategies to deal with this, which i won't go into here...except that i have agreed to "read the bible" with my wife...and i get to pick the translation.. what translation would be best recommended to help highlight the errors of the nwt and jw thinking in general?
i have seen here that today's english version has been recommended...anything else?

We all have mothers....
by Preston inmy mom was born to a jewish family on staten island, new york 50 years ago.
she learned "the truth" from a group of sisters who told her that the jews were not god's chosen people and that she needed to be baptized.
she went through most of her life not following the society to a "t".

I'm not a Buddhist, but...............PART 2
by Dansk inas i can't post to the original thread started by nicolaou, i'm doing so here:.
hi fleur,but the part that really, well, frankly creeped me out for lack of a better term, is that he left his wife and child, then starved himself nearly to death before he realized that this wasn't the way to go, and he lived as a homeless person, begging food as he went on his path to enlightenment.
that's a rather simplified version of events.

Is the Universe and Life both the same thing? (out-of-the-box)
by frankiespeakin inis the universe and life both the same thing?
i mean is there really duality in life and universe??
a crude examlpe of what i mean is like take your body it is made up all kinds of specialized cells and even aminals like bacteria and virus not to mention molecules etc.. yet you veiw it all as "you" what if the whole universe is like that,,and we only think we are seperate.

A "Sobering" idea for New Years: to benefit Asian Tsunami Victims/Survivors
by Fleur ini just had a rare moment of clarity and i wanted to share this idea with you all.
i plan to pass it along to everyone i know, hoping that it might, just might, catch on.
i am proposing a totally painless way for people to reach into their hearts, and wallets, to help those so desperate for aid following this weekend's tragedy in asia.
