Getting rid of the Book Study - a way to isolate the JW?
by skeeter1 inthe book study meeting was cancelled a while back.
the watch tower said that it was to provide for a family study night and high gas costs.
hmmm.. i thought about the cancellation of the book study meeting after listening to another pastor discus his mega-churchs dependence on small circle groups.

Interracial Marriage
by Quendi inhere is a question i want to pose because i do not know the correct answer.
i have seen many interracial married couples among jehovah's witnesses--moreso than i have seen in other religions.
however, i have been told that once upon a time, interracial marriage was frowned upon by the wts hierarchy.

Has anyone, other than me, tried to get your friends/loved ones to prove 1919?
by garyneal inhas anyone, other than me, tried to get your friends/loved ones to prove 1919?.
did they really try to prove it to you or did they write you off as hopelessly lost or somewhere in between?
as some of you are aware, i have been trying to get my wife to prove it to me, and if not her, another believing jehovahs witness.

Did you find reading the Bible enjoyable but your enjoyment was later soiled by the watchtower's take on it?
by punkofnice ini enjoyed reading the bible and my favourite was an asv i purchased at an a$$emby.. however, when i wanted to bone up on a passage or verse, i'd look at the insight or watchtowers and found the wtb$ really did ruin my enjoyment when they explained what i was reading.
i think it must have been the self serving spin the wtb$ put on the scriptures!.
anyone else get this and can comment why this happened?.

Chief Cornerstone ?
by Jack C. inif memory serves me correctly the wto taught/teaches the the "chief cornerstone" metaphor representing christ refers to the stone at the bottom corner of a structure as opposed to the "capstone" (the final stone forming the point or apex of a pyramid).
does anyone know if this is still part of their doctrine?
it seems to me that the capstone (like the image on the back of a dollar bill) is the correct interpritation.

You should be able to tell someone in the hall is a pedophile because they do not say prayers.
by life is to short ini was talking with flipper on the phone the other day and i mentioned that the cobe formally the po told me that.
i have been told so many stupid things in this religion when it comes to pedophiles that i never truly thought about it before and i just said it to flipper in my conversation.
that is the stupidest thing i have heard.. so i thought i would do a thread about it.

I've been wondering is meditation bad for a person!
by Star tiger ini've been looking into the idea of meditation as of clearing some of my bad thoughts about my jehovah's witness past, will it help remove all the crap that gb drilled into me, but it seems like a different outlook that i hadn't considered, and maybe open my third eye,lol !!!!.
any suggestions or experiences would be most welcome.. best regards,.
