A Unique Web Site: JWlove.org
by Londo111 inwell, all parodying of the january 2014 awake aside: no, not so unique.
unlike the claims of jw.org, it is not the one true website that will solve all your problems.
in fact, jwlove.org will not be for everyone and i admit that there are likely other places where the same information is presented in a better, more comprehensive manner.

Why the Grand Gestures?
by bemused inwhen i visit this forum, i'm always a bit surprised by those members who, on deciding they no longer wish to be a witness, write long letters to the elders, set out their reasoning in e-mails to family and friends, attend judicial meetings to have their say etc.
i've never heard of an ex-catholic, for example, writing a resignation letter to their parish priest.. i'm a never-in so i can't appreciate the emotions these people are going through.
however they also often say a big worry is loss of contact with family and friends.

UN trying to avoid Armageddon
by bemused inthe latest new scientist magazine says that the un has established an international asteroid warning group, which will compile information on potentially dangerous space rocks and share this information with its member states.
should it prove necessary, the group would oversee any deflection missions.. it started me wondering what negative slant the wt could put on this initiative - trying to defeat god's will perhaps?.

Why do some JW`s get married multiple times ? Isnt that an indictment against jw beleifs ?
by smiddy inthis isnt a slight against any here who have married more than once.
and of course if you have left the religion you are not bound by their doctrines.. however i am concerned with jehovahs witnesses, people in good standing within the congregation who have married multiple times , and it seems it is not a rare occurence .their seems to be many who have married 2 or 3 times.
i personally knew a sister that was married 5 times and was a sister in good standing .admittedly this may have been an exception .. however divorce is not an isolated incidence with jehovahs witnesses , nor is it isolated that the witnesses themselves initiate divorce proceedings .. another thing , jehovahs witnesses are only 8 million world, a wide a small sect compared to other major religions.. so i just wonder what the ratio of jw`s compared to mainstream religion is regarding divorce .. can anybody fill in these figures ?

god-of-the-gaps. Should we or shouldn't we fiil in the gaps with God?
by KateWild inscience imo does not have all the answers.
when i discover gaps in science, it's easy for me, as a temporary measure to fill in the gaps with god.
i do this until i have learnt something new.. what about you?

The Signs of the Declines
by Londo111 inabout the circuit i grew up in:.
last decade, a congregation was dissolved.. last year, about a half a dozen or so congregations meeting in a double-hall got re-orged and it works out to one less congregation.
they received all new territories, bodies of elders, publishers.
