Mormons vs. Jehovah's Witnesses
by Downtowner in
1. jw
2. friends
forgive me if this has been covered before but i haven't seen anything about it recently.. in exploring the two faiths, mormons vs. jehovah's witnesses, which were both founded in the 1800s with the mormons being slightly a slightly older religion it seems mormons is a more attractive religion than jehovah's witnesses.

do not get me wrong, i'm not looking at joining the mormon church.

but i still enjoy studying other faiths and different belief systems.

notice lately the threads discussing pain?

viv, dave, joelbear.... .

we all come from different walks of life, some of us have had things easier than others on a personal level, and yet we share a common bond.

Too wierd to be true... but it is... Elders???
by Lapuce in
1. jw
2. friends
well yesterday i go the visit of two elders of my congregation, my wife told them that i was acting like an apostat as i talked two days before to two mormons, yes i told them that that they were in a cult like the jw's and they couldn't think for themselves like us, boy i got a real sermon from them, my wife told them that i was on anti-depresants and that they made me ack a bit crazy sometimes, well i know one thing, it wont be the last time i will here from them.

i know 3 years ago i got a talk by the elders but that time it was for buying lotto tickets, again my wife found a ticket in my pocket that i forgot when i put my cholths for washing.

i got the talk, but no sanctions again.

It Wasn't All Bad (smile)
by Frenchy in
1. jw
2. friends
the congregation i belong to is small and most of its territory is in the rurals.

there is one territory in particular that is some distance from the hall and so it does not get worked as often as the closer ones.

then he said: "i cant talk to you people, you dont believe in hell" .

How many did YOU recruit?
by In_between_days in
1. jw
2. friends
just a quick question, and one that seems to take jehovahs witnesses back a little, an extremely good question to ask a pioneer.

"so, with all your hours of service, how many people have you actually brought into the jehovahs witness organisation?".

um.... genuinely, 100% of my old jw freinds have all been raised in the organisation.

What Would I Have Done?
by Frenchy in
1. jw
2. friends
in reading the gospels about jesus ministry i cannot help but be moved by his message and manner and i know i am not alone in feeling like this.

i marvel, smile, and slowly shake my head as i read about the miracles that he performed and have, at one time or other, wished that i could have been there to witness those marvels and to hear his voice.

perhaps like many others i have also wondered at those people who heard him and yet walked away.

Prayers of non-JWs are not heard!
by ozziepost in
1. watchtower
2. bible
no, that's not what i think, but it is what the watchtower teaches!

see page 27 of the july 15 issue, where it states: a christian sister may on occasion be accompanied on a bible study by an unbaptized male kingdom publisher.

if she wishes, she may ask him to conduct the study.
