Pray silently?!? What the heck is this about?
by A-Team ini was just reading memphisbelle's account, and she mentions that the wt says that one is suppose to pray silently so satan wouldn't be able to mess up god's plans.
um, correct me if i am wrong, since i have never been, or will never be a jw....but what the heck kind of logic is this?!?
(especially if you read what the bible says about prayer.

The Earthly Hope for the thief on the cross?
by Honesty insince jesus died first and the curtain in the temple was torn in two did the thief share in the earthly or the heavenly hope?.
so the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other one who had been crucified with him.
when they came to jesus, they did not break his legs since they saw that he was already dead.

JW's and Internet. Wikipedia?
by Burger Time injh posted a thread about how wikipedia clearly shows how goofy the doctrine of jw's has been in changing over the years.
so it makes me wonder could wikipedia be the driving force in the no "independent" study?
i know that my whole family uses wikipedia often and use it as a respected source when researching things.

origins matter...foundations don't...jesus said they did.............
by oompa inwe all know dubs can't do any holidays because they are pagan or such.
even though nobody doing the holiday knows crap about the origin and is not doing it for that historical reason.. so why do dubs say our old teachings of the 1880-1950's don't matter?
because the light has gotton brighter and those old brothers went through a cleansing of thier teachings.
