Locusts,
The bit about no one will talk to you if you leave is from the article, not something I am stating. My comment was 'so what' if you leave, you leave.
// JWs dont expect to go to heaven that is completely false. //
Not completely false. They believe that heaven has a limited capacity of 144,000 but they do not believe it is yet full. They think only true believers (ie, JWs) go to heaven, so good people in the world who are not JWs are automatically excluded.

cloverjo@ Thats is your choice. But whatever at the end of the day you, and everyone on this earth, is accountable to God whether or not they believe he exists. I dont say apologise for the child, because the scriptures tell us that children areaa ablessing from God. What is meant is the actions that bring about your child.
Locusts, a self acknowledged expert on jehovahs witness, why whenever somebody writes about jw's being unpleasant, you give the same reason as goodlife and that is, it cannot be a jw? are you so brainwashed that you believe jw's can do no wrong? You follow the Bible, Millions of people have done that for centuries, why did jw's arrogantly rewrite it, was the word of God not good enough for you?
Vulcan42,
For decades the JWs used the King James translation of the Bible. They also have used several other versions. But they decided, probably rightly, that the archaic language used in that, and other versions was hampering learning. So they made a modern translation from the original greek and hebrew text, but cut the stuff that is now nonsensical. In otherwords, they put it into every day, common language (English version).
So 'Moab is' not 'my washpot' in their teanslation.

I am not saying JWs are perfect none people are. But 99% of JWs will try not to do wrong things. Those JWs who do not/want to stick with Bible principles will not be JWs. Some times people say they JWs but they not. Maybe just having a bible study.

Locusts in past posts has appeared to be very confused about his beliefs but since, if I've read this thread right, he seems to have a strange attitude towards procreation too I can only assume he's still confused.
Gromit, //// JWs dont expect to go to heaven that is completely false. ////

True that entry into heaven is allegedly limited, but JW’s ‘know’ who among them have a place already or have a reservation. Those without a special concession are happy to accept that anyone who isn't a Jehovah's Witness will be destroyed, and the remainder, as true Christians, will inherit a perfect earth devoid of everyone but Jehovah's Witnesses.
(Just writing that confirms to me the irrationality of it all).
