he murdered both the wife & the other man.

Sing out the Kingdom songs!!!

that's great except so many of us couldn't sing our way out of a paper bag.
i remember visiting a congregation in colo. & a sister was really following the counsel, top of her lungs.

The power of belief systems
by donkey inmost of us here have been jw's.
most of us believed it was the truth.
inherent in that is the belief that we would be persecuted and this would be one of the signs that we were the true religion.

The Garden of Eden
by JNS2 inwhen i started studying with the jws, the matter of whether the genesis account should be taken literally was glossed over quickly.
i think it was one of those "it'll be clearer later on, so let's continue with the study at hand".
it really was an issue for me even from the beginning because my work has always been in the science field.

What if............
by freedom96 inthe wts always taught that there is absolutely no life anywhere in the universe except here on earth..
because the bible doesn't talk about it, therfore it don't exist.. seems to me that is rather poor logic.
i was talking to a friend of mine the other day, who is spiritually minded.

Wasting PRECIOUS time !?!
by JNS2 ini was just feeling guilty wasting all this time reading these threads, new & old.
but then it occurred to me how much time i spent going to 5 meetings a week, going in field service, studying & preparing, getting dressed up & travelling back & forth to the kh for more than two decades.
i have a long way to go to catch up!!!.

Father's day
by JNS2 ini just wished my dad happy father's day for the first time since 1980, 23 years!
i'm so glad he's still around so i could do that, i might have missed the opportunity because he's had medical problems lately.
it felt strange, but also it felt like a good thing.
