Lets-say-few Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 carosio I did't ask you to give me qoutations of qoutation. If you personaly have read then qoute it and we can continue. If 1879-1910 Chalz Russel made mistake on something it does not mean JW's are false religion OR folse prophets. (I'm not JW.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Here are a few of the dates on which the Jehovah's Witnesses prophecied that Gods Kingdom would arrive: 1914, 1918, 1925, 1941, 1975. Apparently when nothing happened in 1975, many were disillusioned and left the religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishcake Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Just another religion to me. I follow no religion. If they knock at my door I answer and when they offer me the magazines I say "Thank you very much but no thank you. Take care" I say good bye and they always smile and say thankyou. I work with a JW and he is a top bloke, likes a beer, mixes with none JWs, like the same films as me and has a great sense of humour. The ones who don't go shouting about it are the ones you don't see, I didn't know till recently my colleague was a JW. It is the same with any minority, we remember th eirritating ones for obvious reasons. My friend from work is a top bloke and we simply don't discuss religion.

With regards to the coming of Jesus, they have stopped predicting it now. All religions change and evolve or else Christians would still be making animal sacrifices. Also women can now be ministers. If it makes you happy and you aren't harming anyone then more power to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 bullerboY Smoking kills. If giving up smoking is good why people do not copy to nonsmokers? The majority of smokers would love to give up but can't because there addicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Co-incidentally, I have just had two JWs in the house (both old aquaintences)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Co-incidentally, I have just had two JWs in the house (both old aquaintences)! good man (or woman), I too like to mix with people of all cultures and faiths. It makes life interesting. I must confess I have no time for people who think it is ok to be rude about my LACK of beliefs while telling me I am wrong and they are right. that goes for people who push any view upon me.

Number Six Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Whatever happened to the mormons? They still hang about the town hall end of Fargate of a weekend with their little 'Pastor' badges on. It's hard to tell if they are wearing their special underpants though. Pastor Parcel and Pastor Bake are my favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also read that the mormon religion was founded by a well known compulsive liar! anyway each to their own, except mine, leave mine alone. It's mine.

tp0909 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 They eyeing up Hellaby Hall? I hear they're taking over the gym there. Changing the name to Jehova's Fitness or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
