  JW Rumspringa

  are jehovah's witnesses on their way to practicing amish style rumspringa?

  basically pushing young people out into the world and seeing who comes back with their faith intact.

  after so many generations of discouraging education, it seems like an easy way to ensure that there are some educated born-ins.

  what do you think of this show and is it a good way to discuss end times eschatology topics with my wife?

  somehow i imagine the new heaven and new earth being a let down full of flawed characters, especially if they're jws.

  Theos and theon

  by SonoftheTrinity in

  2. bible

  oh how dubs will cling to da troof.

  this guy was trying to get me to agree that theos and theon were different words for god.

  i tried explaining that other languages have grammatical cases and the difference between calling god theos and theon was like the difference between referring to god as he(the subjective case) and him(the objective case.

  A Younger Generation Discovers Daria

  by SonoftheTrinity in

  2. entertainment

  my kids were rotfl when they saw daria (remember her on mtv in the 90s) the other day on hulu.

  there isn't anything offensive about the show that their mother can put her finger on, yet.

  they aren't ready for catcher in the rye, but daria explores many of the same themes of phonyness and shallowness in a way that a ten year old can understand.

  The multitude that no man can number

  by SonoftheTrinity in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  how can protection from destruction at armageddon be solely with the jehovah's witnesses when the great multitude is one that no man could number while the jehovah's witnesses put great effort into cooking statistics of how many jws there are worldwide?

  the unscriptural scare tactics they use are blatantly insulting to anyone who can read a bible.

  Foreign Language Congregations

  by SonoftheTrinity in

  2. beliefs

  are they stricter or laxer?

  i've read comments on this board that the spanish speaking congregations are stricter.

  somehow i imagine pacific islander congregations are laxer because they aren't as at odds with the culture.

  Who exactly is an apostate?

  by SonoftheTrinity in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you are a non-believing relative or spouse who is hostile to their doctrine are you an apostate?

  if you studied with them and rang the logical fallacy buzzer for chits and giggles to see how they would react does this make you an apostate?.

  if you are a born in who never got baptised does this make you an apostate?.
