Jesus = Ancient Pagan gods??
by Lilycurly ini'm reading a book and this morning i got to a part where it claimed that the life of jesus was very similar, if no downright copied on ancient pagan myths of different men-gods.
(amongst them osiris, dionysos, attis, adonis, bacchus and mithra.).
it said that in the different versions of the stories these elements could be found:.

"....you will be like gods, knowing good and evil."
by Lilycurly ini know this has been mentioned before, but i'd like to bring that question to the front again.
not only from a jw's perspective, but also from all other christians.. who lied to man and woman in the eden story?.
yahweh god says to men: 17 "nevertheless of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you are not to eat, for on the day you eat of it you shall most surely die.

Chess!!??
by Lilycurly ini just read from the quotes website that the wts discourages people to play chess!
i never knew that!lol they compare it to actual war and say it can make one competitive and aggresive.
i've never read such bullshit, if i didn't know better, i would have thought that this was a mock article.

A Sister and a Brother alone
by Lilycurly ini've been looking in the watchtower library all morning and can't find anything.. i know that jws have this rule (is it unwritten??
) where a brother and a sister should not be left alone in a car, a house, or any private place.
but my jw father says it's not so, and he spent a part of yesterday installing a computer program at a jw couple's house while the man was at work and the wife was at home.

Now they "Excommunicate"??
by Lilycurly insome of you might had read that in one of my other post...my father, who is the only jw in the family, came up with the word "excommunicated" when talked about disfellowshipement.
now, nobody here seems to have any idea what this is all about.
he seems pretty certain that it's now the proper word to use.

by Lilycurly inhere's the situation.... my da has been finally announced last thursday.
now, the thing is, my father asked the elders if it was still okay for him to talk to me.. elder1 says :no, she is daed, is not living with her family anymore, you can't talk or associate with her in any way.
