  I was omitted from my parents will. Not that they were wealthy, but just the principle.

  I now have excluded my daughters who have shunned me for 26 years from my will.

  CATHOLIC TO JW..........POPE TO GB..............WHY ??????

  by vitty in

  why do so many catholics become jws ?

  i know a lot of them were not very strong or practicing catholics but the wt does seem to draw them, especially when they are so critical of them and the pope.

  you would think it would put them off.. is it because the are so different or the same???????????.

  Catholics make up the majority of Christianity. So it only stands to reason that there would be more converts from them than other religions. There are more catholics than most other religions put together.

  The twisted words of the bible and jehovah is jesus

  by sinis in

  2. beliefs

  i've been reading a few articles on the subject of jehovah being jesus in the new testament, which makes perfect sense.

  as i don't believe the bible is the word of god (or has been severely altered by man), i do believe there may be some small shreds of truth.

  could it be that yahweh in the ot is jesus of the nt?

  I to believe Jehovah of the old testament is Jesus of the new testament. All the Mosaic laws were done away with and were fulfilled in Jesus.

  my wife, who is studying midwifery, has just finished watching an episode of maternity ward wherein a dub by the name of yvette thompson was having a caesarean due to fibroids among other things.

  she told the doctor she wouldn't have a transfusion because of being a jw.

  her 'fiance' said he disagreed with her stand but he would intervene if need be.
