  Hi Jardg:

  Remember "To Thine Own Self Be True!!!!"

  Even though it is hard right now, in the future you will not regret it.

  When I told my folks that I was leaving the JWs, they said that it would be "hard for them to have a relationship with me". At first things were rather uncomfortable.

  However, over the past couple of years my JW parents have lightened up significantly.

  My wife and I have been out of the JWs for going on 10 years now. While we are not very close with my folks we are certainly able to communicate with them readily and they even come a visit us from time to time.

  I really think in time your Mom and Dad will lighten up too.

  We had a major disagreement between our CO and our BOE. It resulted in our entire BOE being deleted and then the CO sent in some other elders from a neighboring hall to run our congregation for a while.

  Think if I walked into a church a priest might take some time to talk with me about faith and god without trying to convert me?

  Hi Cyg:

  I sent you a pm about this.

  what would you have done back in the 1st century when jesus came on the earthly stage and started christianity.

  would you have became his follower?

  that is not the only congregation that had people problems.

  You guys might find the book "The History of the Christian Church" interesting. It was written by Eusebius who is regarded as the first Church Historian. He recorded the history of the Church of the first three centuries. You can get a copy of it at amazon.com

  The pope

  by Stromboli in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the pope was admitted to hospital and on the national tv (rai) they were saying that he has an entire apartment right in the h just for himself, not only that but the room just below was emptied just to avoid noise for him.

  unbelivable!

  recently a man in italy died because the ambulance could not find a bed for him in a hospital so by the time they arrived to the one bed that was available 200kms away he was dead.

  "Because he makes speaches nobody can understand?????? (insead of going away with dignity and letting go at that trone)"

  Sounds to me like you have a problem with older people who have certain physical disabilities. Remember these comments should you reach 84 years of age and aquire some physical problems. The Pope has had decades of experiences that we young ones can learn a lot from. We may disagree with his conclusions on certain things...but his experiences are valuable nonetheless.

  I am troubled by this tendency in our culture to just throw old people away and it seems that is what you are advocating. I admire the Pope for still doing his best to serve others in spite of his physical ailments. He is a tough man.

  One of the single strongest advocates for social justice in the world, currently, is dying in the hospital... and you fools call him a relic.

  Hi Czar:

  You make a great point here. The writings of this Pope are very powerful. He always stresses the inherent dignity of man who has been made in the image and likeness of God. I have great respect for the Pope and his work in the area of human rights.

  I would also say that this Pope does emphasize the Church Militant. He wants the members of the Church Militant to be leaders in the area of advocating for human rights throughout the world.

  I believe the Holy Father is a living Saint.
