  something that always puzzled me as i grew up a witness was where those in mainstream christianity gained the notion that mary magadalene had been a prostitute.

  no amount of independent study that i did ever turned up anything to back up the allegation.

  does anyone know where such information comes from?

  just got off the phone with my mother...she is in such deep denial over this whole thing.

  i can't believe that she had the nerve to actually stand up for the fellow in the legal department at headquarters regarding the advice he give to bill bowen.

  she told me that he's just an imperfect human.

  Why do the 'friends' believe Elders over Experts

  by FriendlyFellaAL in

  this is something i've been wondering about lately due to personal experiences.

  my mother and stepfather (she's a jw, he is not) have been having some marital problems of late and instead of seeking out the advice of a marriage counselor or some similar specialist in the field, they have chosen to seek help through one of the elders in her congregation.

  i'm completely surprised by this, yet i know i shouldn't be.

  I'm Scared

  by FriendlyFellaAL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  before i get started on what i'm afraid will be a lengthy post, i just want to say a few things.

  this may not be the appropriate forum for me to post what i need to say, but i hope that all of you will be understanding and supportive of how i feel.

  i've been lurking here for quite some time and have even been brave enough to make a few posts, so i feel somewhat comfortable expressing this here.. perhaps i should discuss my background a bit before getting to the heart of the matter so you all can understand where i'm coming from.. i am a late 20-something former jw, never disassociated myself but completely stopped attending meetings about four or five years ago.

  Kingdom Melodies on Morpheus?

  i was just going through some of the messages on the board and found some hilarious song parodies.

  simon's version of "from house to house" in particular had me in stitches.

  all of this got me to thinking about some of the kingdom melodies that i did actually enjoy while still a jw and decided to look for some of them through morpheus.
