A Good Response to the JW "you don't believe us, you must be bad" attitude
by Check_Your_Premises indub: <insert your own generic, typical, obnoxious jw comment that hints to, or directly states that the only reason you aren't a dub is because you are some kind of a-hole>.
non-dub: "that is interesting, but maybe i could tell you what i think about that.
see for me, i try very hard not to presume that a person has a dishonest or bad motive behind their choices as a believer of jehovah, because i wouldn't like anybody to treat me that way.

Time to play "What Would a Dub Say?": Matthew 24:23-26, Luke 21:8
by Check_Your_Premises ini was never a dub.
i was just curious what you all thought when you read those two verses in light of the claims that christ returned in 1874, and then in 1914, as well as the predictions of 1914, 1925, and 1975?
yeah, yea, i know.

Help me out, ex-jw Christians: JW and salvation
by Check_Your_Premises ini have been doing some more research and thinking about the topic of salvation.
what got me working on this, is that i have been conducting a bible study, with my family.
i decided a good topic would be the overall theme of the bible.

A jw snopes type web site?
by Check_Your_Premises inany who have checked out snopes.com, know that it is a very effective baloney detection device.
it is amazing how many phoney stories end up coming some so many credible sources.
for the dubs, the urban legend serves an important function of protecting and bolstering their faith.

JW urban legend? Has anyone heard of a JW clone group called "The Princes"
by Check_Your_Premises ina dub i know found some info about the christadelphians.
it was quite remarekable to her that there was a group with so many ideas, so similar to the dubs.
such a reailzation is a bit of a challenge to a dub, since they spend so much time fancying how unique they are.

Question for Christians and ex-JW: How is salvation attained?
by Check_Your_Premises ini am a rather newly minted christian.
i have been exposed to many different beliefs besides the jw, but i tend to take more of a "mere christianity" view of salvation.. here is a summary of that view.. i believe there is a god, evidenced by an innate natural law that most understand, aspire to, and expect from others.
laws require a lawgiver.

A question for my UK cousins: What are the different British accents?
by Check_Your_Premises insince i have so many brits and uk types in one place, i was wondering if you all could classify or tell me the names of the different british accents.
i think most in the states could be grouped by region and then each region divided into regular folks and folks with cash.
for instance in thestates, you basically have north east which is can be characterized by your classic new york or boston accents.
