    Pro-Life by most really mean Pro-Birth

    This is something that I could never understand. Those who are most vehement about "the sanctity of the life of the unborn" are often the ones who are most vehement about not supporting those single mothers who are struggling to provide for the children that they really couldn't afford to have...

    The Equality of Men and Women

    Unfortunately, many religions treat women like second-class citizens and use the Bible to "support" their misogynistic beliefs. As a JW, we were taught that men were the only ones who could hold any positions of authority in the congregation and women were always to be in submission to men. If...

    The Equality of Men and Women

    Not to worry...a woman could easily drag you to the window and then sliiiiide you down the ladder. You'd be surprised what an enterprising woman can do when she tries. Hey...I'm in my 70s, but I can still heft a 50 lb bag of horse feed or a bale of hay (not that I can heft too many of them at...

    Jehovah's Witness' not learnt from Catholic church

    I'm not surprised that your friend who grew up as a JW is loathe to discuss her upbringing. Very often, former JWs are embarrassed about their former religious ties and are afraid that people will either laugh at them or shun them. It's part of the indoctrination that JWs receive.

    Jehovah's Witness' not learnt from Catholic church

    Let us not forget that JWs have incessantly talked about their "clean" organization when engaging in criticism of other religions.

    Jehovah's Witness' not learnt from Catholic church

    I'm sure that there were some Catholics who defended the Church and vilified the victims, but most Catholics that I have known were appalled at what was occurring in the Church and wanted changes to be made. The JWs, on the other hand, except for a very few (and from what I've seen they could...

    Homosexuality in the ancient world

    LOL Now why would a witch turn you into a football player? (Knute Rockne Norwegian-American football player and coach at the University of Notre Dame)

    Homosexuality in the ancient world

    I think that you should also add Native Americans to this list.

    Jehovah's Witness' not learnt from Catholic church

    What has always confounded me with regard to this problem is the difference between the majority of members of faiths other than the JWs and the JWs themselves. Generally, when this issue has been brought to light in various faiths, the members are outraged and want to see the problem taken...

    Who Has the truth? Who Will Bring World Peace?

    Thank you for posting this Adrian. What a beautiful, moving ceremony. Sadly, leaders such as our President Trump have been ramping up the hatred that previously had existed but was kept under wraps more or less. Now, however, these hate-filled people believe that they are justified in...

    Who Has the truth? Who Will Bring World Peace?

    Oh, Deeje, I cannot believe that you wrote this. Do you really believe that hatred towards others is something you find difficult to understand? JWs are TAUGHT to hate ex-JWs, and they believe that God commands them to do so even though they have to twist scripture in order to rationalize...

    Who Has the truth? Who Will Bring World Peace?

    Interesting statement. Could you please provide a copy of the latest financial statement released by the Watchtower Society so that we can see what "areas of need" have money allocated to them? Oh, wait...you can't, can you? The Watchtower Society has never provided any sort of financial...

    Who Has the truth? Who Will Bring World Peace?

    This happens on a regular basis. When my husband and I were trying to re-activate ourselves as JWs after being inactive for a number of years, my husband had lost his job, and the state put him into a training program for welders working at a local shipyard that built submarines. He was told...

    Who Has the truth? Who Will Bring World Peace?

    Since the WTS does not provide public financial statements, no JW has any idea of what the organization is worth. However, just dealing with the amount of real estate they own (which includes all of the individual Kingdom Halls--individual congregations pay a fixed amount monthly in perpetuity...

    Who Has the truth? Who Will Bring World Peace?

    Amazingly enough, I do have to agree with Deeje on this particular point, based on my personal experience. When I was in my 20s, I developed Crohn's Disease and ended up in the hospital (and this ended my "career" as a JW pioneer minister.) My blood count had gone down to 3. I did not accept...

    Who Has the truth? Who Will Bring World Peace?

    They all fail simply because you don't want to acknowledge that many other sects do exactly what JWs say are requirements for the "true religion." Every religious group has some sort of ministry in place, and many of them have their members going out into the community to preach. Additionally...

    Oh, there are those that meet your criteria. JWs are far from unique. Check around...unless you're afraid to do so?

    Do only Jehovah's Witnesses follow Jesus' command to Preach Take your pick HC. Here are a few to choose from. I'm sure that you could find more if you cared to look.

    Who Has the truth? Who Will Bring World Peace?

    Why do JWs constantly fixate on surgical procedures when it comes to the issue of blood transfusions? Yes, the medical profession is learning better procedures in performing surgery that negate the need for a blood transfusion. IMO, a surgical procedure that is performed without the use of a...

    Who Has the truth? Who Will Bring World Peace?

    Correction...leaving a man-made organization has absolutely nothing to do with reneging on a promise to Jehovah. I do understand that the current baptism vows do include a promise to that man-made organization, but the organization is NOT Jehovah and leaving that organization has absolutely...
