When you see a JW or two on the street, do you ignore them or speak tothem?
by Rod P inmost of the time i just walk on by.
i just can't be bothered, and they are not going to believe what i say anyway.
besides, should i tell them i am disfellowshipped, which may scare them away?

Pray to Jesus to God or Both? (Not Just Yet Another Trinity Thread...)
by adelmaal ini just read another post that touched upon praying directly to jesus and it reminded me of the other day at church.
i don't know if it's just my jw roots or what but one of the men who said the prayer in church prayed directly to jesus.
he kept using jesus' name in prayer speaking directly to him on our behalf, he brought out that no other name is higher than that of jesus and when he closed he did so in the name of jesus.

I don't know how to ask this ?
by boy@crossroads inok so anyway i have been fading for a little over a year now.
during that time i have been primarily focusing on improving my social skills: reconnecting with old high school pals, trying to make sense of the world, trying to connect with others, opening myself up to new belief systems, activities.
now that i am becoming more comfortable around people i am considering pursuing a relationship with someone.

Is anyone aware of a concise, definitive work on religious freedom?
by Check_Your_Premises ini am looking for something that talks about the importance of a person being able to worship free from coersion.
the idea being that if a person requires coersion to be faithful, what does that say about their faith?
therefore the best way to argue for/against a religion or doctrine is through a free and open exchange of debate and ideas.

Does the Bible interpret itself, or a fiddle you can play any tune with?
by Rod P intesting this thread.
well, after three times, it finally worked.
why are there so many religions all professing belief in the bible, yet all of them interpret the bible differently?

After Reading CoC It Seems This Could Apply to Dub Loyalty to the Org - LOL
by adelmaal inthe below analogy made me think about how in coc whenever a new article comes out in the wt the dubs loyally obey without questioning whether or not it has any bible basis or whether or nor it is morally right (i.e.
disassociated ones to be shunned just as disfellowshipped ones, ones who personally disagree with any of the established beliefs (even if they are not outwardly promoting such disagreement) are to be considered apostates and should be disfellowshipped, etc.).
it's amazing how the org can say it's black even if it's white and blind faith causes the dubs not to question it.

She keeps making eyes at me but I'm not interested. :S
by Elsewhere inat work there is this girl there who keeps making eyes at me, but i'm not interested.
on top of that, she keeps trying to strike up conversations and she goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on... its amazing!
never a pause between sentences and barely a any space between words... just a very very long series of words coming out of her mouth non-stop.
