How many of you knew about the"Jesus is not your Mediator" teaching when you were JWs??
by Lady Liberty inhi everyone.... just curious how many of you knew when you were active, about the societys official teaching regarding jesus the mediator.
i was floored to find in my research, that they teach jesus is the mediator for the 144,000 only.
and it is only by our association with them that we might have salvation.. i don't know about you guys but i was blown away when i learned they taught this.

Do JW's now believe the year 2012 will bring armageddon?
by dutchstef inlast weekend i was enjoing the good weather in holland with my mother and my kid sister, who still is a jw, on a terras, drinking a beer.. my mother always tries to tell something positive that happened at the cong or something that she read in the washtowel and then i react negative or not at all.
it's a kind of game i don't know.. this time she said something like despite the fact that armageddon doesn't have to come during the generation of 1914, that does not mean that it isn't near... and then my kid sister reacted on this and said yes...possibly 2012.... i was pretty stunned... of this remark.. has anyone else heard something about the jw's now focussing on the year 2012?.

why I don't flip off women drivers
by John Doe ini was riding to work yesterday when i observed a female driver who cut right in front of a pickup truck, causing the driver to drive onto the shoulder to avoid hitting her.
this evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and gave the woman the finger.
'man, that guy is stupid,' i thought to myself.

What are the current rules to have a JW funeral?
by JWoods inin light of the mj debacle clogging up almost all channels of communications today, i began wondering: what does it take to be told that you cannot have a proper jw burial service?.
in the case of jackson, we suspect that he was either da'd or dissasociated at some point in the late 80s.
i can remember rumors before i left in the early 80s of a rift with the elders over that thriller album...and that he was either privately or publicly reproved over it.. he is known to have married a scientologist, divorced her, and later married another woman to have kids by arrangement, then divorcing her, and possibly getting into a third marriage.. he is known to have dabbled in both islam, the kabala, and possibly other religions.
