"God Boards"
by AllAlongTheWatchtower inyou've probably all seen them; those church message boards in some prominent place along the road so passing drivers can read them.
most are simply informational, like "sunday services at 12pm" or the like.
some use little witticisms to gain attention, and these are the ones i'd like to talk about.

Anyone else have an aversion to singing?
by AllAlongTheWatchtower ini was reading the threads http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/129051/1.ashx (remember the song make the truth your own?
) and http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/9/136242/1.ashx (the messages are always there), and was reminded that i had been intending to post something along these lines before and never got around to it.
note: i was raised in the wcg (armstrong), not a jw, but i've found they're similar in many ways, and i believe this to be another one:.

For the ladies:
by AllAlongTheWatchtower inis it ok to lie, or lie by omission of information, to your wife, if the motive is saving them stress or grief?.
i feel that my wife and i have a very good relationship, very open, we usually tell each other everything.
as i revealed in someone else's topic recently though, i am a pizza delivery driver...and last night i escaped an attempted robbery.

When is one considered a "sister"/"brother"?
by AllAlongTheWatchtower ini came home from work early today, and one of my wife's jw friends was visiting when i got home.
she was actually there for a social visit, not for a study or any other jw agenda, so it didn't really bother me.
it did surprise me however, that she kept calling my wife "sister".

The Other Gods
by AllAlongTheWatchtower inif the entirety of the bible is divinely inspired, and therefore everything in it is correct, doesn't that kind of set christianity on it's ear?
christianity is a monotheistic religion.
it is even stated in the ten commandments; "thou shalt not have any other gods before me".

Window Washing-why so common?
by AllAlongTheWatchtower inok, i have been around here long enough to get a basic understanding of most of the jw stuff, even though i have never been one.
one thing that continues to puzzle me though, is the constant references to jws often getting jobs as window washers.
i have seen these types of references on other sites as well as this one, so i have become convinced that it must be pretty (stereo)typical.. why?

Pentecostal evangelism in Africa
by AllAlongTheWatchtower inin most modern western civilizations, i tend to believe in the "live and let live" way of thinking; though i am atheist, i understand that some people have a need for religion in their lives.
as long as that religion is not dangerous in any way (like jws and wcg are, among many others), then fine, do as you will.
reading articles like this really gets me steamed up though:.

Hyksos; Israel-Japan connection?
by AllAlongTheWatchtower inlet me first establish that this is pretty shaky ground, and speculation on my part, so please don't flame me if i have things all wrong.
a couple weeks ago i think, i remember a post about moses, and the authenticity of the bible, in which it was mentioned that the tribes of israel may have actually been an asiatic people called the hyksos.
i found it interesting, but had never heard of the hyksos before.
