The God/Santa Connection
by Mrs. Witness inwork with me here...this occurred to me last night as i was trying to get back to sleep after waking up with a 2-year-old, so i'm kinda fuzzy.... god supposedly watches everything you do, judges you, then you get the "gift" of ever lasting life.. santa supposedly watches everything you do, judges you, then you get gifts on christmas morning.. sound familiar?.
so, why is it that "god" is real but "santa" is fictional?
hmmm?

The Creation Story is a Metaphor
by serotonin_wraith ini know the following story seems too much like a fairy tale, but it isn't to be taken literally.
there is no real conflict between this and the scientific explanation of how earth came to be.. http://www.painsley.org.uk/re/signposts/y8/1-1creationandenvironment/c-hindu.htm.
lord vishnu simply told humans the story of creation in a way they would understand.

Do the DF'd ones shun you like the active ones?
by JH inoften i meet jw's and most of them will shun me to a certain extent, although i'm not df'd, but what i find funny is that many that are disfellowshipped will also shun me or do their best not to look at me.. so then i wonder if they think i'm still active and they are df'd, so that's why they shun me.
but i have no clue if they are df'd or not since i don't go to meetings anymore.

Festivus "endorsed" as primary Witness Holiday.
by coaster inactually did not mean to click enter.
my wife nearly left me yesterday while arguring over the nwt, and how it has so changed the text from what it really says in ancient writings, especially col. 1(other added four times) and the dozens of places where jehovah is not even a quote from the hebrew scriptures.. i am not going to change her mind.
the km question box is not going to change her mind.

The prophet Muhammad
by catbert inhas there ever been a watchtower or awake magazine that reveals or states muhammad was a "false prophet"?
imagine a watchtower with a picture of muhammad on the front cover, and the title "false prophet".
do you suppose that would get them some attention?

The Governing Body: very busy?
by Awakened07 ini have a couple of gb related questions.. in crisis of conscience, ray mentions several times the way decisions are (were?
) made by a voting system.
having been brought up in another country (not us), i was rather surprised at the kinds of things they would decide; ray has a few copies in his book of letters from various congregations, letters that sometimes take up quite personal matters concerning a couple of people in one single congregation, for instance.
