Is the JW religion slowly turning into 7th Day Adventist?
by White Dove ina friend of mine says they seem to be.
her sister sent a memorial invitation and said, "will you be going to the memorial of christ's death?
" she said that the use of "christ" was strange.

JWs wrer an offshoot of the 2nd Adventists, Charles Miller's group in 1840's. The 7 Day Adventists stick closer to the old Jewish laws such as sabbath keeping on SATURDAY, not eating pork, shellfish, catfish, etc.
I doubt if many jws would embrace a sabbath

Well, I'm recently widowed and since then I've had my bad teeth replaced by partials, dyed my hair to its natural color, lost 15 pounds. But before doing that, I asked 4 women to exchange phone numbers, and all 4 did and all the numbers were real.

Songs that make you cry...
by El Kabong ini've been kind of sad the past few days for several reasons, but, there are certain songs that just cause the tears to flow whenever i hear them (and especially alone).
only time by enya.
i know that this song is often linked to the sept 11 attacks, but it really is just so hauntingly beautiful.

Do you think that "JW's" will get rid of the "Paradise earth" doctrine?
by booker-t inwith all of the changes regarding the 1935 closing of the heavenly calling that jw's taught for over 70 years what will be the next thing to go in their doctrinal system.
will they one day say"we were wrong the earth is going to burn up and all christians will go to heaven".
russell was right after all and yes the "great crowd" will indeed go to heaven.nothing suprises me anymore with the jw's.

No I don't believe they'll drop paradise. This is one of their most logical arguments- that God created the Garden of Eden, and intend men to work and make it worldwide, only Satan,& Adam have made a temporary setback on it, but it will happen. I have some cutover woodland for sale if any of you want to get a headstart lol

by The wanderer in<!-- .style1 { font-family: arial; font-size: 18px; color: #000099; } .style2 { font-size: 16px; font-family: arial; color: #000099; } .style3 { font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; } --> how long did it take you to snap out of watchtower think?it took me better than a year to let go of watchtower think.
the teachings held on to me.
more so than the emotions and i did not have family in the organization to tie me down.. disconnecting yourself from watchtower thinkwhen you first discovered what the society was behind the scenes how long did it.
