America's divorce rate falls to lowest level since 1970 - bad luck WT
by truthseeker inthe watchtower is always lamenting "ever increasing levels of divorce" etc, especially when they have wt articles about the family.. this article presents some refreshing views that not every married couple is getting divorced.. perhaps the rate of divorce among jehovah's witnesses is the highest since 1970 as it's becoming more and more common to hear about jw spouses breaking up or having affairs.. .
u.s. divorce rate falls to lowest level since 1970some suggest more couples are living together long-term without marryinghttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18600304/?gt1=9951.
new york - by the numbers, divorce just isnt what it used to be.. despite the common notion that america remains plagued by a divorce epidemic, the national per capita divorce rate has declined steadily since its peak in 1981 and is now at its lowest level since 1970.. yet americans arent necessarily making better choices about their long-term relationships.

The Trinity ( arguement to end all arguments I hope )
by 5go ini pretty much don't think much of christendom.
but why do christians insist on holding such an unholdable position with the trinity.. the bible i agree holds proof for both trinity and nontrinity positions.. i still don't get why that christians other than catholics would hold such an untenable position as god came down to earth but didn't, and he prayed ( talked ) to himself a lot.. .
i remember a comedy sketch were some kids were stumping a nun in catholic school with question on the trinity and the eurachrist..

What To Enjoy About Field Service?
by WTWizard infield service.
you get up at 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning to make it to the kingdumb hell at 5:30 in the morning (since that feb 2004 kingdumb misery, they want everyone to meet for street work at this time).
a quick discussion of the text, misapplying it to fit the misery, and then prayer and we're off.

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES AND JADE JEWELRY
by HappyDad ini had to listen to jw craziness starting in 1960 when my mother started studying.
recently, i was reading paul and pat blizard's website and came across "101 strange beliefs and practices of jehovah's witnesses".
granted.......some of these beliefs have gone by the wayside because of bud light.... i mean new light!

An organisation that doesn't care much
by greendawn init is rather obvious that the organisation of the jws the wts does not have love for its members contrary to what they claim that they are the loving organisation of jehovah and are striving for the best interests of those under their direction.
my position is that they couldn't care less about them as individuals and basically they just want to exploit them.
there is that sense of coldness hunging in the jw kingdom halls and assemblies.

"Mature" JW's READ THIS:
by Honesty in"mature" jw's, what do you "believe" you are accomplishing by coming on this board?.
page 371 paragraph 22 of the june 15, 1967 watchtower magazine says, "in addition to all of this, a persons faith can be weakened by what he reads and takes into his mind, dwelling upon "higher criticism," relying on worldly philosophers.
it should be remembered that, when we are reading a book, the author of the book becomes ones teacher, and for this reason great care should be taken in selecting reading matter.
