  Can the US police the whole world?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  even if the united states is the only superpower, can it really make war with iraq, and tackle north korea, and keep an eye on china, and other countries at the same time?

  why does the us always have to take care of troubled spots all over the world by itself?

  why can't japan and south korea take care of the north korean crisis?

  the congregation of a church in suburban pittsburgh gathered around a bonfire sunday night to burn harry potter books, disney videos, rock cds and literature from other religions, purging their lives of things they felt stood between them and their faith.

  What about those who commit suicide???

  by nogs in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wts say that those who commit suicide commit a grave act toward god and will be everlastingly cut-off.

  where does that idea come from and where is the compassion of ones when the person just could not go on living anymore????.

  i felt like ending it alot of times, the jws made me feel ugly, stupid and unworthy individual, i lost all my confidence and never felt that anyone would want to marry me as i was so flawed.

  Identity of 'Spiritual Israel'

  by Jr in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in order to qualify as spiritual israel there has to be certain fundamental characteristics or basic truths.

  these basic truths are revealed in the law covenant given by moses.

  and can be traced down from the nation of israel, down through the 1st century congregation, and further down until our day and time.

  The Poor JW Children

  by larc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the children.

  there are many things that could be changed, and even though i would never go back, i think there are some very basic changes they could make in their child rearing practices, simple changes that would make a big difference in their society.. 1. don't force small children to sit for two hours in a chair.. this was discussed at length on the thread about slapping children at the kingdom hall.. 2. don't bring children to meetings where the subject has to do with adult sexual practices.. 3. don't tell teenagers that they can't ask someone out for a date unless marriage is on their mind.. 4. don't tell them that they are not special, that they have to humble themselves and be like everyone else.. 5. don't tell them they have to get good grades through high school as a reflection of what jehovah has given them and then tell them they can't go to college when they graduate from high school at the top of their class.. 6. don't tell your wordly neighbors that you give your children presents all through the year, but not on their birthday, when they have never seen a special gift wrapped present in their life.. 7. don't expect a shy child to enjoy going from door to door and don't expect an extroverted, lively child to sit still at meetings.. 8. don't tell an inquiring child not to ask questions and don't tell them not to read interesting books.. 9. don't surprised if you don't change your ways that your children will leave you, even though they love you.

  Modern-day Israel's Identity

  by Onetruesource in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i would like to open this discussion on israel, because i have come to learn many things about it.

  the bible scriptures continue to prophecy about the nation of israel.

  we all know that the natural nation has been disowned by jehovah, because unfaithfulness.
