PROOF THIS JW Religion COULD BE THE TRUE RELIGION

by Dark_Princess in

well in the bible it says said by jesus christ himself... that "the true religion will be the relgion everyone despises and hates.".

is this not the relgion of jehovahs witnesses?..

look in the bible itself it says in john 15:18-19. jesus says, "if the world hates you, you know it has hated me before it has hated you.

Most hated religions are Muslems and Jews, most people just think jw is a legalistic small sect.

The only thing I feel USA should have done differently was using the bomb on MILTARY targets, not civilian cities. Pearl Harbor Naval Base was a military target.

And her husband, Tim McGraw has been taking a beating on radio airplay. His current song "My Girl" has not been doing as well as "I Loved Her First" by a new group named Heartland. Both songs are about a man watching his daughter grow up. Heartland's song sounds great, Mc Graw's song sounds like arushed knock-off.

What's the most ridiculous thing you were ever counselled on?

by micheal in

jw
friends

one of the cornerstones of jw's is counsel.

they just love to give counsel and many times they will literally make things up just for the sake of counsel.

i was once counselled for joking around too much.

1) Being in Amway

2) Being too friendly with neighbors who were studing with another sister, we were 'taking her study away'

3) Having too old of a car in 1986. Had a 64 Chevy Impala

4) Not wear a belt

5) Working for a security guard service, my wife was sent to a casino to stand by the entery and keep a headcount for tax reasons

6) Playing chess

How do the JW's interpret the mark on the right hand and forehead and 666?

by JH in

jw
friends

and it puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon their forehead,17and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name.18here is where wisdom comes in: let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a mans number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six.. in these few verses alone, they talk about a mark on the right hand and forehead, as well as not being able to buy or sell without that mark, and finally the number of the wild beast 666.. after studying the revelation climax book a couple of times with the jw's, i still don't recall a clear explanation for these verses above.. if we are so close to the end, wouldn't they know what 666 means by now?

I agree with Clam, chips, facial recognition systems,barcodes and or serial numbers are tools for the mark. In the USA, you can hardly do any major transaction or even a job application without your social security number.

To take the mark as to be some sort of willing submitting to someone or something. The National ID card is comming soon

Do You Really "Care" If Someone's Gay Or Not???

by minimus in

jw
friends

so often, you see people all up in arms because it is revealed that an individual is "gay".

do you really care??

personally, i don't.

Hey, more gay men just mean more women to go around. Gay women I guess balance the numbers out. I met some lesbian women I considered hot, but most of them I didn't find actractive anyway. Gay men don't bother me if they leave me alone. If a gay woman hits on my wife, I react the same as if a man was trying to take her away.
