so last night we had the last book study at our house, next week all the congregations change around and i asked for it to be moved.
so i sat in on it, and afterwards we had a bit of a 'party'.
felt quite emotional really, although i haven't answered for a long time i put my hand up to read a scripture just so i could mark the last time i did this.
Well done Poppy. Please don't let the Watchtower Society put you off the idea of God though.
Finding the real creator may be a real comfort to you. I certainly don't think the real one would plan to exterminate 6 billion people and leave behind a bunch of JW's. There would be too many window cleaners for a start!
i have a boyfriend of four years who is a jehovah's witness.
i had no idea what it was when i met him.
his parents recently got divorced and he is living with his mom who is jehovah.
Hypocricy is always a theme in these cults isn't it. This guy sounds like he fits the mold.
Oh no don't celebrate Christmas and defend the bizarre and dangerous blood transfusion policy, but fornication? Oh well theres always repentance down the line.. .
Find a guy who deserves you and doesn't share you with a false prophet.

LOL @ "taking the plunge"
they pressured their own followers into not setting up websites to promote the jw religion,they have demonised the internet as if on every webpage there is someone ready to destroy the faith of a jw, and they are monitoring websites that are hostile to them to see if they can find ways to legally close them down.
.
why do they fear the net so much if they have the truth as they like to parrot so often?
The internet is so huge globally that it's strange that it's not mentioned in Revelation. One of the four horsemen could have had a laptop in one hand and an AOL CD in the other.
i can't beleive that some people are actually agreeing with this illustration...it's sickening.
i don't know if any of you had the displeasure to read the dec 1 2005, watchtower?
(page 6) with the nice subject of harmageddon.. well, one paragraph is about "how can a loving god make war?
Actually its JWs who are more similar to cockroaches.
1.They're a household pest, i.e they pester households.
2.They can still survive with their brain removed.
3.They are confident of surviving a holocaust.
4.They run off when exposed to actual light.
There must be others. . . . . . . . .

the christian congregation of jw sent a letter to all congregations regarding hospital liaison committees.
this letter will be read the week of january 30, 2006. i can email a pdf of the letter to someone willing to post it here.
I'm new to this forum but love it to bits already. In fact its stopping me from getting on with Christmas shopping. Sorry to jump into a specific subject link, but do any full on JWs ever come on here and make their points? I would imagine not. It must be like a cat turning up at a PitBull show. LOL
who can verify if the legal department has already read this?.
okay, or guess?.
skally
It's a good job they don't celebrate Christmas. Their lawyers can work on it over the holidays maybe?

Thanks Serendipity!

Yes good angle Supreme. I'm new here but have a big interest in the JWs. My sister is one but she lives 400 miles away. My wife however is a midwife and her maternity unit is plagued by elders trying to talk not only "sisters" out of transfusions but to all and sundry. I'm quite keen on the idea of hanging around them and challenging the Watchtower's contradictary teachings. We also recently found out that one of the "blood crew" elders actually had a transfusion a few years back, so I'm really keen to chat to him!

The way I read it, the Watchtower interprets Acts 21:25 as follows:
"...But as for the gentiles who have become believers, we have sent them a letter telling them we decided that they must not eat any food that has been offered to idols, or the primary components of blood—namely red cells, white cells, platelets and plasma. However fractions of all primary components are permitted. Having said that, when it comes to fractions of any of the primary components, each Christian, after careful and prayerful meditation, must conscientiously decide for himself. “
Incredible, and they think themselves the voice of the Creator on earth!
