Image all important to WT
by Outaservice ini found it interesting in the july 1st watchtower (the public's edition) that in their introduction to the article 'coping with grief' they feature a scripture from gen. 37:35 and under it the caption, 'the holy bible-new international version'.. are they trying to show how reasonable they are to the public by refering to the niv instead of their biased new world translation?
also, in that same magazine in an article on 'tel arad', a place by the way, i have visited, it again mentions that......" the findings at tel arad cover a long period of bible history, ranging from the days of the judges of israel down to the babylonian invasion of judah in 607 b.c.e.
" the still cling to that date 607 in view of overwhelming evidence that they are 20 years off.

The elders came last night and i stood my NEW ground!!! be proud!
by New light for you inso yes, the brothers came for "encouragement" and of course, my husband is out of town on business... so it was me and the kids.. so i did let them in, i like these brothers...these are some things we discussed.... 1. i went over how that stupid "obey" email got all this started, got me to divulge to my girlfriend how i was feeling about the whole religion.
about how at the end of the call she said that she can't associate with me anymore, and then right after that call/ 30seconds later while i'm crying a pioneer called and asked "do you consider yourself one of jeh witnesses anymore??
" and i thought that was crazy for someone to try to trap me when i was sitting crying on the phone, upset with the last call... i told them that for all purposes i am already dfed since noone will talk to me anymore, and only one friend called to see what happened, everyone else just listened to the gossip of whatever spread, and wrote me off even though i'm technically in good standing.

What was your favorite cartoon that you was allowed to watch growin up JW ?
by StoneWall inhands down my all-time favorite was the flintstones.
it's just so hard for me to compare anything else to its humor,cleanliness,appeal to young as well as older ones at the time.. .
no matter how bad a mood i would be in after school i could always count on fred and barney to screw something up to make me feel better lol.

Are Fridges for Christians?
by Satanus indispite their popularity, christians should rethink their stand on fridges.
firstly, they used by jesus and first century christians.
neither did god's chosen people of old use them.

My story
by Newborn indear all, thank you for your warm welcome!
this is my story in short (pls excuse wrong spellings, english is not my native tongue and that it still became quite long).. i'm 34 and was born into the truth by parents who in their turn were baptist in young age.
i have one older sister who is currently serving at bethel with her husband and a younger brother who never embraced the truth (which was my big sorrow for many years).
