Hello All,

After much consideration, in the light of clear directives given at the 2012 District Convetion of Jehovah's Witnesses, we have decided to close JWForum from public viewing.

This means that for the time being, you, as a MEMBER, can still access the information on the site (for reference only) but it is no longer viewable to the public. The Question & Answer forum will remain open for non-witnesses.

Feel free to use any of the information on this site for your personal use and/or copy any answers you found helpful. The coffee (CHAT) room will be closed but for any Witnesses interested in wholesome online association we fully recommend the following site.

http://www.jwtalk.net/forum/list.php?10

The new up and coming WATCHTOWER LIBRARY provides a source for interested persons to find all the information they need about the beliefs and teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses, and while we sincerely hope this site has been helpful to some, we cannot in good conscience continue to maintain it as a public information source.

We wish you all Jehovah's continued blessing and remain available for any questions you may have about the future of the site.

Best Regards,
JW Forum Administrators

from "Avoid Testing God in Your Heart"

As we read at Numbers 11, they had contempt for the manna, they demanded more variety.

Now how may that manifest itself today? Well, some feel that the spiritual food received from Jehovah's Organization is not enough, they need more. And so some have taken it upon themselves to try and provide more. A few have pursued independent group studies of Biblical Hebrew and Greek in order to analyze the accuracy of the New World Translation. Others have created websites and chatrooms for the purpose of exchanging and debating scriptural views. Still others feel the need to produce online services, hold conferences, produce publications or material to supplement what is already provided through Jehovah's Organization.

Now as a reminder, Jesus said at Matthew 24:45 that he would appoint a faithful and discreet slave to provide food at the proper time. Now what's interesting about this is that verses 46 and 47 state that if the slave was faithful in carrying out their assignment, Jesus would appoint them over all his belongings.

Imagine, thinking that we would know better, or that we could somehow supplement the rich spiritual food coming from Jesus' faithful and discreet slave, those whom he has appointed.

With that in mind, the slave class does not endorse any literature, meetings, or websites that are not produced or organized under its oversight. There is only one official internet website wherein one can find all the information they need to know about Jehovah's Witnesses including the abundance of downloadable publications, and that is jw.org.

Jesus says: Luke 9 -

49 “Master,” said John, “we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”

50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

Watchtower says:

The only thing a bit "rich" is they honestly still believe that Jesus "invisibly" appointed them in 1919.

I'll get my spiritual food from the bible.

This is not new. The WT have asked JW's not to run JW themed sites for years. However, many ignore the advice until their conscience/pressure gets the better of them and they close it. However, when one closes, another opens - it's always the same.

Funny how some JW's think the internet is evil and other JW's just love it and play on it all day..Maybe the Watchtower society needs to clarify thie stand a little clearer for them? Is it evil or not? If it is evil why do they have a site on it..

They truly are just afraid that the people will get infomation that will blow the lid off their operation that's all. The WTBTS wants to "own" them just like a controlling husband or wife..it's wrong in either circumstance!!!

I think the WTBTS would love to be a Hitler like situation/government. They rule..no questions asked.

So they are still open just that they will not be available to the public in certain areas of the site..no biggie..

ps checked out the site and found this:" Most users ever online was 25 on Mon Dec 27, 2010 4:59 am".. (Not very popular is it)
