Can fanatical religious people really be open-minded?
by be wise inthis is the main question really for any religious org.
according to them do it gods way and close your mind to your own logic and reason and that of the worlds (given to us by the very god they believe in).
or be an independent thinker and reason stuff out according to the watchtower satan influences independent thinkers and they warn against it as this is the devils way of doing it.

honeymoons are pagan! :O
by SPAZnik in.
it was the accepted practice in babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink.
mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month we know today as the honeymoon.

What are the most "embarrassing" moments/events for the Watchtower ???
by run dont walk in.
boy, this thread could go on forever ........ i just found out recently, about the pyramid theory by russell and the building rutherford had built for abraham's return ..... i never remember my family talking about these while we were growing up/going to meetings.. i guess the society tries to hide the embarrassment as much as posssible.. so what would call some of the most embarrassing moments by the watchtower (1879-2003), i am hoping to copy alot of comments and pass them on to my jw family.
and hopefully other posters (lurkers) could find the info useful as well.. oh and please, if you can give more details on the two above i mentioned please do ........
