by The Lone Ranger in
1. jw
2. friends
sure we got to know a lot of people, we knew a lot more people then the average person, but how many real friends did we ever have?

a friend that we could trust, that we could confine in.

i can say i had just one, bro x and even then i still had to be careful, bro x is an elder now and he tells me that im the only real friend hes ever had, he cant freely talk to anyone.

New Revelation Book

2. friends
well, it's not big news, but there will be a new revelation book coming out.

it is already published and sitting in the wallkill warehouses.

makes me think why they are giving out dozens of corrections first, and shipping the new book later?

A Thread To Note Questions That ThirdWitness Is Incapable Of Answering....
by hillary_step in
1. jw
2. friends
at this stage i feel it prudent to start a thread on which all those who have been involved in debating thirdwitness and his behind the scenes cronies can begin to list questions that he is unwilling or incapable of answering.. i do this for two major reasons :.

1) to prove to all the thousands of lurking jw's that thirdwitness and his orchestra of theological mice are actually not able to defend wts theology without ignoring pertinent questions that seriously compromise their arguments.. 2) to prove to all reading this board, including the moderators, that thirdwitness is here not to discuss his/their theology ( which differs in some respects from wts theology ) but merely to preach their ideology.. i will be away from the board until tomorrow evening, but as you might have noticed i have posed numerous questions on various threads which thirdwitness has ignored, bypassed or bluffed his way past.

these will all be listed.

it's been out a while and i know it's already been commented on here but i really enjoyed the village.

the creation of fear and the control that it allows must surely strike a chord.. recently i saw christian bale in the machinist.

bloody awesome!

Confrontation - is it for Christians?
by jgnat in
1. watchtower
2. bible
agapa's quiet admission to "imperfect men" in the congregation inspired me to finish a small bible study on confrontation, and how the early church handled disputes.. (romans 12:18 rv) if it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men.

(2 cor 13:11 cev) good-by, my friends.

do better and pay attention to what i have said.

inquiring minds want to know: how did respond to oath # 7 which all jws were required to take at the latest dc?

"we will resist with all our strength the spirit of the world manifested in such things as materialism, unwholesome entertainment, overindulgence in food and alcoholic beverages, the plague of pornographic material and the curiosity or temptation that lures one into association with outsiders through internet chat rooms.

our resolve is to be no part of world as we carry on worship that is clean from the standpoint of our god.

its only a small minority is the phrase i hear all the time it could be about muslims but it also could refer to other groups.

lets apply it to muslims for the sake of argument.

lets say a ridiculously small percentage are extremists.
