i'm finding it more and more funny how every wt article for the public or congregation, including jw broadcast talks about all this "growth" and how fast jehovha's organization is speeding up!

yet everything behind closed doors, insider information, elder letters and sales paint a very different picture.

i have news for you gb members!

I imagine anything used for reading could be called a "literacy aid."

And they do offer free home lessons in the form of a bible "study."

How dishonest was the Apostle Paul?

by opusdei1972 in

may be some of you will be shocked by this question.

however, when i was studying the bible with critical eyes i detected that paul ( or saul of tarsus) misquoted the hebrew bible in order to get false support for his arguments.

of course, this tricky kind of use of the "scriptures" was not only used by him, but others, like the author of the gospel of matthew got unsupported doctrines misquoting verses.

OUTLAW - ah yes, I remember the account well.

It was a Donut Shoppe in Corinth I believe and he stated "he really hates Corinth."

Jesus had Nowhere to Lay his Head....

by Muddy Waters in

so jesus had nowhere to lay his head.

he had a huge following and reputation... with no tv, publishing company, big bethel house, branch offices, literature offers, requests for field service time, judicial committees held in secret star-chambers, disfellowshipping & shunning rules and big procedures for "reinstatement"... .

so why does wts do all these things??

The GB homeless...now that would be "good news."

Band Green Day and JWs

by hardtobeme in

a few years ago i heard of a story about two jw's being at a green day concert.

i think that the witnesses were bethelites.

the person that told me that story said that the band was about to play but they couldn't.

This happened to friend of a friend of mine.😉

There was a brother see, and he went up to the platform to give a talk and before he started asked if there were any Green Day, John Denver, smurf, Led Zeppelin or Liberace fans in the audience coz he could not continue if they were there as it would impede the flow of holy sprirt. So a goth, a cowboy, a small child, a hippy, and a little old lady walked out in tears, to the boo's of the ones that remained.

Then the brother gave his talk on Showing Love in this Time of the End.
