  Does Hispanic mean Mestizo?

  by donny in

  1. social
  2. current

  with all the hoopla going on in arizona, i have been hearing a lot of comments about the state of arizona being racists against "hispanics".

  i always thoght hispanic meant someone whose promary language was spanish or in some cases portugese.

  has the word hispanic come to mean only mestizo's (people of mixed european and amerindian ancestry)?.

  i'm very much enjoying "the orwellian world of jehovah's witnesses", by heather and gary botting.

  now, this excerpt comes very much to the point of this thread, i believe:.

  page 145: "still, in 1975 the society clearly feared a continuation of the upward trend in memorial partakers, and in an article entitled "annointing to a heavenly hope - how is it manifest?

  Beginning on JWN

  by Thunderinus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i left the jws three years ago after having done extensive research through the internet where fortunately one can find an enormous amount of information regarding every aspect of the jws it's simply amazing how many websites there are exposing their real nature.

  though in the end i don't blame so much the rank and file members who are themselves naive and ignorant victims, rather i blame those governing this organisation who are constantly and ruthlessly deceiving and holding captive in a spiritual sense their hapless followers.. i had several issues with them:.

  the blood ban goes too much against common sense why would it be wrong to accept blood from someone that willing gives it and without any coercion or harm to himself precisely out of good kindness with the intention to save lives as indeed millions of lives were saved in this way.

  What do most ex-JWs "believe" after leaving?

  by EverAStudent in

  2. beliefs

  has anyone done a survey to determine what faith system, religion, or set of religious beliefs ex-jws tend to settle into after leaving the organization?

  if not, would you care to post what you presently consider to be your own personal religion (e.g.

  protestant, catholic, baptist, jw but not in the organization, agnostic, atheist, ...) and especially what you presently believe about jesus (was he a real historical human, is he god, is he an angel, ...).. thank you!.

  How do you release the grudge?

  by brainwashed-from-birth in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have got a huge grudge against jehovah and his "organization".

  i feel like it has ruined my life and any chance of a relationship with god..(if there is one.

  ) my immediate family has disowned me along with everyone i was comfortable with my whole life.
