  Is it just because i was raised a JW?

  by helncon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  yesterday (sunday) we went to our daughters church for family service as they have these at the end of each term for the kids club (sunday school) and if you don't know about my beliefs that i don't have any and i am one not wanting to have anything to do with any religion.. anyway there are a few things that caught my attention during this service as i normally tune out but they were talking about how jesus was telling a parragul (sp?

  ) about sowing the seeds and then it all came flooding back of the memories about how the jw used this, and you know it was strange as this church was saying things almost identical to what the jw would say.. this is not what i was wanting to mention but i thought this was interesting.. so after all the service they have a morning tea for everyone afterward and i got talking to the minister/father/pastor (don't know what the head person called) wife and the subject come about christmas and i told her that this was not as important as when jesus died and that he wasn't even born on 25th december she was taken back that he was not born on this day as i told her he was born earlier in the year and i explained how this is the reason, she was gob smacked!.

  i thought this was common knowledge so i wonder if she will go back to her husband and ask questions if this is true.. so i ask the question is it common knowledge that jesus was not born on this day and it is a pagan holiday or is it a jw thing.

  The CATHOLIC doctrine of the Faithful and Discreet Slave??? Yes!!

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  majesterium (sacred tradition) is a technical theological term used in some christian traditions, primarily in the roman catholic and eastern orthodox traditions, to refer to the fundamental basis of church dogma.

  the term refers to the "deposit of faith" that these churches hold was communicated by jesus christ to his first followers, and which they hold has been passed down (latin tradere, to hand over or hand down) through succeeding generations.

  the church as a community, therefore, was the initial receiver, and has remained the guardian and codifier, of sacred tradition.

  What can a JW (and I) expect as/if they leave the WTS?

  by aikichristian in

  my girlfriend of 3 years is a pretty strong jehovah's witness.

  however, she has celebrated birthdays, 4th of july, halloween, and attended christmas (related) parties since being with me.

  i'm catholic, btw.. now, many of you may think i'm "winning", but she still goes to hall 2x/week and her book study.

  Why can't he let himself be happy?

  by emilyblue in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i'm in love with a man who is a witness.

  i am a pretty inactive protestant, meaning my parents were only able to drag me to church twice a year on christmas eve and easter morning.

  he told me early into our relationship that he wanted to marry me and spend the rest of his life with me, and that he has never felt the love for anyone else like he does for me.

  Is practicing Capoeira wrong/bad/discouraged by Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by aikichristian in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my girlfriend used to be an avid capoeira practicioner for over year.

  she has reaped many benefits from it: increased physical fitness, flexibility, some self-defense skills, and stress-relief.

  she enjoyed it.. unfortunately, an article came out in the spanish version of the "watchtower" ("atalaya" in spanish) essentially saying that capoeira should not be practiced because it has some spirituality stuff in it that was wrong.

  NWT Contradictions on the Identity of Christ.

  by roflcopter in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so in doing some research into the identity of christ we all know that the nwt quotes john 1:1 as: .

  2 this one was in [the] beginning with god.

  yet lets rewind a little bit here in our copies of the nwt and go to isiah 43:10: .
