Persecution?
by robhic ini am not now, nor have i ever been a jw but i have seen their propensity to try to play up being persecuted.
a friend of mine who is a jw (and the reason i sought out these message forums) made it abundantly clear that she thought (and i guess was encouraged to think) that most everything was persecution because "people hate jw's.".
now, from my experience i can say that i don't think people actually hate jw.

Ancient Biblical Incest leads to Racism
by gumby incavallino lot & his lusty daughters
"and they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
thus were both the daughters of lot with child by their father.

Special Meeting on 4/27/03 ?
by robhic ina friend told me she wanted to attend a special meeting today, sunday april 27. her health has been bad for the last few months so she hasn't attended anything except the memorial in about 6 months.
why this meeting was referred to as "special" wasn't mentioned.. since the jw like to march in lock-step uniformity, i am assuming this meeting is going to be the same country (world) wide?
is a local meeting being special allowed if all other meetings are not (for the most part)?

"Special Meeting" 4/27/03 ???
by robhic inmy friend who is a jw happened to mention to me last night that there is a "special meeting" today, sunday 4/27/03.
i know the jw do things in a lock-step, uniform way so i wondered if this is an organization-wide special meeting or could it just be a local one?
is a local meeting that isn't in accordance with country- or world-wide uniformity allowed?

"Special Meeting" on Sunday 4/27/03. How special?
by robhic ina friend of mine who is a jw told me last night that there is a special meeting today that she wanted to attend.
since her health in the last few months has prevented meeting attendance (other than the memorial) i wonder why she is so determined to make the meeting today, sunday april 27, 2003. could it just be a local thing?
do the jw do that or is every meeting in lock-step with all the meetings in the country if not the world?

Are Birthdays and Christmas celebrations really rooted in Evil????
by bk62 induring the last two months i've tried and tried to rationalize the jw view that, since these "pagan holidays are not based upon the scriptures, they must not be practices by christians".
i've spent a lot of time thinking about this, and trying to come up with their motivation for these policies.
they can't think that celebrating will actually hurt, yet they obviously can't honestly think the practice goes against the bible.. i thought it might just be another "control" for them to place on the flock - and a way to differentiate themselves from other faiths.

Jesus Resurection, Voodoo trick or for real?
by seedy3 ini just watched a program about voodoo magic, one point they discussed was the zombies.
the voodoo witchdoctors have the ability to give a person a poison that slows down the bodies system funtions so slow that even modern medical equipment can not pick it up, then a little later when no one is looking they go out dig up the "body" and resurect them.
now given this point is it at all possible?

King James Bible and the WTS
by robhic ini could swear i saw a quote or something saying that years ago (obviously before the nwt) the wts considered the king james version of the bible as the best one available.. i posed this question on another group and so far have had no luck.
it may have very well been on this site somewhere but i have back-tracked as much as i can and still haven't found the post i saw this in.
anybody have any ideas or know where this statement can be found?
