FOR THE SAME REASON THEY CANNOT SMOKE. It's not in the Bible either.

Why can't Witnesses Gamble? There's nothing in the bible about it!!!
by Witness 007 inif caught in any form of gambling you will be disfellowshiped!!!!!
the principles are "gambling is greedy and selfish, putting faith in the goddess of good luck.
" this is lame!

nine pages of BS from October AWAKE
by purplesofa ini hope that some of you lurkers out here really take a look at some of the thread in this section of the board.
this awake magazine says not one thing about how families are asked to trust their elders and how these very elders were and are abusing their children.
it mentions nothing about watching out for these trusted men in the congregations.............oh it brings out the internet, other family members and fathers and males in particular.. it will tell you how much your child needs to do to prevent something like this from happening.

Now I'm glad my children were shunned. They were just kids at the time, between 8-16yrs. of age, never baptized. Being shunned only kept them away from the psycho's. Thank GOD!

Do you have a magnetic personality? No
Does everyone want to invite you to their party?? NO
Are you a loner? YES
Is it hard for you to make friends? YES
Suicidal? Nope...too many things I still like to accomplish in life.
Do I have a plan? Pending
Do you think you'd be greatly missed if you no longer were around??? Maybe my kids or siblings (or my my mother, if she out lives me), otherwise....who would? I'm still trying to find my purpose in life and leave a good impression behind so that I can be remembered. If it never happens, it wasn't in the cards.

Is the Bible really from God.....
by REBORNAGAIN inor just from everyday people like you and me and christians just held on to it because it gave them something to hope for and put faith in?.
if it really is from god, why are things still so mysterious, i.e.
why are we still in the dark about the future?

I haven't given up faith in God at all. I know He's out/up there somewhere doing who know's what. All things came into existance somehow. I just wish He would convey to us somehow what our future holds and why we suffer as we do. This earth is HELL, maybe not so much for me, but for so many others.

GoverningBody.org is now up.
by James Free inwell, i finally put up the site.
the articles are nothing new - bits from wikipedia etc.
but i hope it will persuade even one 'interested' one to avoid the jw's - and even get an existing member to think.

Born Again? Yes and/or no. I'm just still confused. Too many wishy washy things going on in this world. I do believe in Jesus and I do believe that He and others were sent to the earth by God, but there are still so many unanswered questions and after hearing JW lies for so many years, it's hard to know what to believe anymore.

If it really is from God, why are things still so mysterious, i.e. why are we still in the dark about the future? Humans on earth today still cannot convey exactly what our future holds. I'm beginning to think, the Bible is just another human made book well preserved over many many years. So many things mentioned in the Bible are only logical, such as the rainbow. That still doesn't prove He will never cause another earthwide flood, nor does it prove there ever was one. The rainbow appears because of the sun & rain combined. What's inspirational about that?
