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.

Explaining Christmas to My 10 Year Old Daughter...
by adelmaal ini was talking with my daughter yesterday about the memorial.
it falls on my day with her and i previously noticed that christmas falls on her dad's day with her this year.
i have never had any problem with my daughter attending the memorial with her dad on my day but he has had her the past 2 years for christmas and he has issues with me having her for christmas on his day.

Does Anyone Really Celebrate The Last Supper As Commanded In The Bible?
by adelmaal ini know the jws try but imho they miss the mark because they do not all partake, as described in the bible, and they do not do the foot washing as commanded in those verses as well.
i am hard pressed to find a religion that actually does "do this in remembrance of me" as explained in the bible accounts by jesus.
does anyone know if there is a religion that tries to re-enact the event as it is described in the bible?

Old Friend Disfellowshipped - Would Like Advice
by adelmaal ini have been away from "the truth" for quite some time (about 6 years) and i heard from my daughter and friend the other day that someone i knew back when had recently been disfellowshipped.
he was actually one of the elders on my original committee when i was having drama with that religion.
he was a good guy, always having gatherings at his house (superbowl, etc.

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.

Reasoning Book -- Online Version
by adelmaal inanyone know if i can get an online electronic version of the reasoning book?
i really need to get ahold of it to be able to show my daughter what jws believe.
sometimes when i explain to her a jw belief she is dumfounded and does not grasp that they actually believe what i am telling her.
