  on neighbourhood watch schemes

  by Curtains in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the police are encouraging residents to form neighbourhood watch groups and are trying to get as many people involved as poss.

  does anyone here have experience of this kind of thing?

  i think i might join but on the other hand i think it may be quite risky and alienating.. the huge police presence after the london riots will gradually lessen and the gangs will be back.

  as jehovahs witnesses we were taught that the truth (belief) unifies every aspect of our lives and is of paramount importance.

  are other like religions like this also?

  do they emphasize belief to the same extent?.

  please deconstruct John 3:16 - our memorial scripture

  by Curtains in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  our memorial talk focused on john 3.16 - the exercise aspect of exercising faith.

  the speaker began by saying 'this evening whilst we are all gathered together many are exercising in the park - they are working hard - jogging and running.

  shouldn't we work that hard when we are exercising our faith'.

  what are the rewards for not being a witness any longer

  by Curtains in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if the carrot and stick aspect of being jehovahs witnesses upset you how do you reclaim your desire for reward?

  i'm assumng that you all agree with me that feeling rewarded is a basic human desire.

  how much effort do you think we should put into trying to make our lives rewarding?
