  The Definition of Dialect

  by Ariell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a regional or social variety of a language distinguished by pronunciation, grammar, or vocabulary, especially a variety of speech differing from the standard literary language or speech pattern of the culture in which it exists: cockney is a dialect of english.

  this is one of the definitions for dialect that i found at dictionary.com.

  i think ebonics fits the profile of this definition.

  Have you really left?

  by Ariell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm sure we all view the watchtower society as a mind controlling dictatorship that has systematically destroyed our lives is some shape or form.

  i'm sure this is why we've all left, but have we really?

  someone can physically leave a religion, but emotionally they're still there.

  The Watchtower's Version of God

  by Ariell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it really bugs me when people say we've been brainwashed by the watchtower's version of god, but the fact of the matter is, the bible says what it says.

  these acts of silliness, cruelty, and injustice are clearly stated.

  jehovah's witnesses aren't the only ones disturbed by things they've read in the bible.

  Slavery in the BIble

  by Ariell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  leviticus 25:44-46 "your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves.

  you may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property.

  you can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow israelites ruthlessly.

  The Turning Sword in Genesis

  by Ariell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  genesis 3: 24 - and so he drove the man out and posted at the east of the garden of eden the cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword that was turning itself continually to guard the way to the tree of life.

  correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't man create the sword?

  what was god doing with a blade in heaven?

  Micheal Jackson's Kids/Mixed Heritage

  by Ariell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just wanted to clear something up about micheal's kids being biracial since i see people commenting on it a lot on this board and others.

  fyi, mixed kids don't always come out looking mixed.

  sometimes a mixed child will come out looking black, and not white at all.

  Have you ever felt this way?

  by Ariell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do any of you ever feel for some odd reason that this could really be the "truth"?

  i see what's going on in the world today and the stuff my mother usually spews is starting to make sense.

  i feel like i'm being sucked back in.
