So basically we don't get to hear the other side of the story, and we're asked to take this story at face value.
GodZoo:
A little research goes a long way.. I trust you don't expect me to do it all for you.
Thousands of others made the effort.
"Thousands of others" is not the same as the "other side"
Yeah I get that.. but my point was that often people expect to be spoon fed everything on a platter and have all their research done for them.
'Other side' meaning what exactly?
so i was hoping to get some insight on this subject of telling your spouse that you no longer believe in god.
for two people who have been jehovahs witnesses for 20 years together, talking about this seems to be real hard for me.
i still pray with my wife before meals but that's about it.
You open your mouth and say: "I no longer find reason to believe in God".
Easy as that..

It doesn't look like the Barnevernet has ever heard of the Org's Paedophile Protection Scheme, aka "the two witness rule" or "not bringing Jehovah's name into disrepute."
Perhaps J.W.'s in Norway will now have other reasons to fear for their children!
Maybe we should write to them.
But then again they have a pretty bad reputation themselves..

i read this blog post by a person i have no idea if she is still a jw or not, but it made me think and gain some new perspective on using the divine name.
please read it if you can, it will change your view!
and it totally devalidates the jw dogma that they are the only ones using god's name, no, they are actually orphans.
For me the "aha" of the article was that in the new testament, God's name does not appear anymore, because in it, God reveals Himself in a new role - the role of a Father.
Not much of a father either eh?
What a waste of time..
how would it be possible in 1,000 years to resurrect and educate the billions now in the grave?.
nevertheless, an illustration reveals what a simple, practical thing jehovah has in mind for mankind.
not to prophesy, but merely for the purpose of illustration, let us assume that those who compose the great crowd of righteous persons who come out of the great tribulation on this system of things alive (re 7:9, 14) number about 6,000,000 (about 1/1000 of earths present population).
For an organisation that claims to believe: the great crowd, “which no man was able to number,”.
They sure do a hell of a lot of numbering..
I kind of like that photo and it might be nice to go to meeting where things are a bit more "open air" rather than in a stuffy closed up building.
You think cult life is improved by fresh air?
