When does WT have time to praise God?
by DS211 inive increasingly noticed the amount of time devoted to trying to convince others why wt and jws are the "truth" and how christ appointed them instead of just praise and worship to god.
even the songs that are sung at meetings--many of them talk about listenng obeying and being blessed, and how god gave us gifts in men, etc.
and have reached even the thoughts and speech patterns of those who add "and his earthly organization" at the end of their sentences.

Need help! Atheists/creationists/agnostics whatever
by DS211 inok guys i need help.
for all those atheists or agnostics or maybe christian science people--what are some great sites to explore our existence, the universe, bible history and archaeology, pretty much all one needs to make a decision on their beliefs.
lets show the lurking jws that we can collaborate on something, and help a confused fading jw (me) explor his options and actually research.

My wife and thanksgiving
by DS211 inso my wife and i chatted about thanksgiving last night and decided were going to celebrate it.
she was reluctant at first but i then brought out that according to the bible that we shouldnt judge nor be judged on celebrating a festival because we are also still giving thanks to god for the life we have.
i know many witnesses are on the fence on whether thanksgiving is politicak or pagan or whatever, but its no e of those.

Go therefore and make disciples!!!!!!!!!!
by DS211 in19 go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things i have commanded you.
i am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.. the wt claims this is a command given to jesus apostles to spread the word of christ (by extention right?
), one so profound to hhe wt that it encompasses its infastructure, its foundation to the works-based-salvation belief system.
