  1. So all I can say is: 1. They haven’t met many gay women; and 2. It sounds as if the Puritans still reign supreme in New England!
  2. Imagine how sisters would feel if we never had to pick up a razor again…
  3. And I’ve heard absolutely nothing on the news. Unbelievable. I thought it was the full moon…
  4. What a great Bible study for your Mom, Denise! Your grandmother sounds like a hoot. I am quite sure that you will see her again. ❤️ And you are right: I need to think more positively. She has been very scared about the anti-semitism she has seen so close to home. Basically feels like the world is on fire. Here’s hoping. 🙏🏻
  5. Thank you, bro. I’m going to have to go back and read more on these brothers and sisters. I know that I have read their stories before!
  6. Esined, I actually converse daily via email with somebody in MA. We bonded over a common interest. She has never had a friend or acquaintance who was a Witness, so it allowed me to share a little with her. She keeps kosher, but is somewhere between Reform, Conservative, and Reconstructionist. I was aware of the things you mention, so I was very careful. She said that a lot of what I shared with her sounded much like Judaism. I did focus mostly on the Hebrew Scriptures, and made it very clear that the Christian Greek scriptures do not, unlike Christendom, teach that God is a Trinity. Hopefully, we will discuss more, but I will not get my hopes up, as I know it’s very uncommon for a Jewish person to convert or even consider it. <sigh> I think one of the biggest roadblocks is the Talmudic teaching that if Jesus was really the Messiah, he would have liberated Israel and not died. Thank you for the feedback!
  7. Esined, did she ever say whether there was a ‘best’ way to witness to someone who is Jewish? A friend of mine who knew a brother who had been Jewish said that one thing we could do at the start was express appreciation for the way the Jewish people preserved the Hebrew Scriptures through the centuries. Obviously, it depends on the person and, I would think, the branch of Judaism that they are a part of.

  10. I don’t understand your reasoning here. Russia did not act in self-defense. It invaded Ukraine just as Hamas invaded Israel.

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    I was introduced to it in childhood by my parents. Unfortunately, they did not stay with it. When I was in 8th grade, I felt there was a big 'hole' in my life, and knew it was because Jehovah wasn't in it. I prayed to him, and 45 minutes later there were two sisters at my door! (I hadn't seen anyone at our door in two years!) I am the only person in my family who stayed with the Truth, sorry to say.
