Jobs for ex Bethelites

by BritBoy in

jw

given that we have pending un-employment of several thousand bethelites around the world, what could the (largely uneducated) masses do for a living when the rug is pulled out from underneath them?.

mcdonalds has been mentioned, but what else could they do?.

tour guides for the united nations ngo department.

Are "Born-Again Christians" a Cult?

by booker-t in

jw
friends

i know alot of people might be offended by this question but i think it is a good question to ask.

born-agains are always pointing the cult finger at jw's, mormons, moonies, 7-day adventists, oneness pentacostals, armstrong, etc; but could they themselves be a cult?

as the old saying goes "it takes one to know one"

ferret

could atheism be a cult

hopefully it will be a beautiful weekend.

we always get together with our entire family (kids and grandkids) for an all day picnic and fun and then watch the small town parades.

and then this weekend we will be playing "catch-up" with outdoor projects on the house that we couldn't get to because of the rain.

Witnessing at school

by I-follow-the-narrow-path in

jw
friends

i was in class and by these two women (one who was a christian and the other student i am unsure of).

i asked them, randomly, "do you know much about jehovah's witnesses?

" -- they both said "yes" and the non-christian said "i had a jw friend and he really hated it... he disaproved of what they taught" -- i started to talk about shunning and disfellowship.
