  by Clam in

  2. beliefs

  i read a thread posted by gill which gives an account of an 8 year old being baptised.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/107441/1.ashx.

  does anyone know what the society considers to be the minimum age at which a witness can be disfellowshipped?

  If you are baptised then you are old enough to be disfellowshipped.

  No minimum age for DF is mentioned in the OD Book.

  i was reading e-watchman today and someone there is saying that after studying the what does the bible really teach book at bookstudies the next book will be the revelation book!!!.

  there isn't any real proof, but the poster claimed a letter from bethel stated this.

  perhaps some here can dig around and confirm or deny this new rumor.. we've studied it 3 times in the past and it's been awhile.

  .....you go wacky and kill people because of some offending cartoons in a newspaper!

  ah, just like abaddon and other libiots like to say, "it's just the culture, not the religion that's evil.

  " why don't they say that about the cult they came out of (jws)?

  Judaism started with Abraham: a kooky fellow who moved out of the city to live in tents and chat with God.

  Judaism became: A racist military genocide machine that obliterated and enslaved the natives of the "promised land".

  Christianity started with Jesus: a non-confirming pacifist communist who was martyred by militant Jews.

  Christainity became: A vehicle for conquest by the Roman, Medieval, British, and American governments.

  Islam started with Muhammed: a warlord who converted the Middle East by the sword.

  Islam became: um, ditto

  Even the Karma Sutra?

  LittleToe you should know that the Kama Sutra is actually based on Hindu traditions, not Muslim.

  So, yes, "it isn't so".

  90% are JW kids.

  The Watchtower's Great Game of "Jenga" and Exposure

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jenga is a simple game in which wooden blocks are neatly piled up - and then removed, one by one, until one person ( the person who loses.

  the game) makes the pile collapse.. it is tempting to see the organization in the same way - making small but significant "removals" over time.

  they pull out food service.

  The funny thing is that it's not even really a tetragrammaton. The two instances of he are replaced by a combination of daleth and a subscript yod, obviously to simulate a he, but which actually looks like a sequence of ydywdy, i.e. Yediwadi.

  You über-geek! I would love to to meet you someday.
