Things we were persuaded to believe
by iamfreenow inlinda and i were just chatting about some of the more odd beliefs of jws, and how we tended to accept them despite not totally understanding them.
the jws have a tendency to pick incidents from the scriptures and look for a modern - day application, priding themselves on being the only ones who can truly understand what these things mean for todays' world.
there are severa that i had trouble getting my head around, but gullibly accepted the society's take on them.. for example, i always had problems accepting or even understanding the jw interpretation of the 7 trumpet balasts of revelation, which they said were fulfilled by 7 conventions held between 1922 and 1928. the wtbs was an insignificant religion then compared to the more mainstream churches, and isn't all that significant now in terms of membership, and i just couldn't see why a seemingly - significant event in the bible would find it's fulfillment in a series of conventions that the majority of humanity wouldn't even be aware were taking place.

The Jewish acceptance of Christ and the end
by greendawn inin the book of romans 11: 25-27 paul makes the amazing claim that the jews who were spiritually blinded so that the nations will also enter the kingdom, will at one time be shown mercy and saved, naturally by accepting christ.
26. and so all israel will be saved, as it is written: .
"the deliverer will come from zion; .

Can the JWs really be called Christians?
by greendawn ingiven the jehovah centred approach of the jws and the marginalisation of christ at least as compared to mainstream christian religions, the extreme reliance on the old testament and particularly the refusal of nearly all jws to participate in the new covenent, should they be thought of as christians at all?
even though they like to call themselves at times: christian (?!
) jehovah's witnesses.

One Of The Most Inspiring Human Beings That I Can Think Of
by Country Girl inwhen i think things are bad, and i'm feeling sorry for myself, i think of stephen hawking and the obstacles he has had to overcome.
granted, he's one of the smartest people on the planet, but he's still had quite a hard time with his disability.
i just think so highly of him.

Why can't the headline be "Paris Hilton dies in tragic diving accident!"
by free2beme ini am so sick of this woman, and her fame for simply being born into a rich family.
i am just waiting for the day that we get to see her name in the obituary and not on the front of some magazine to say what a great thing she has done, when she found a lost dog.
i actually like the movie, "house of wax", as it does allow you to see some damage done to this woman.
