  "Back To The Beginning"ABC Special with Christine Amanpour

  by EmptyInside in

  1. social
  2. current

  did anyone else watch this two part special?

  i've always been interested in archaeology and found it interesting.. the last few minutes she talked of how some think, we are in the end of days.

  and she interviewed some woman who apparently was a witness,although,they didn't mention her religion.

  wathctower 90/1/1 p. 12 par.

  8 not ashamed of the good news .

  while it is true that jehovahs witnesses are hated and opposed in all the nations of the earth, this is in fulfillment of what was foretold to be an identifying mark of genuine worshipers of the one living and true god.

  If the Borg has the Truth what are they worried about?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  jw's will of course argue that they have the truth.. if that be the case, why are they terrified to talk to.

  people or visit sights that expose their beliefs?.

  if someone speaks the truth there should be nothing.

  i keep hearing rumors elders are going to be getting permanent badge cards to wear to every meeting.

  one excited brother told me, "it would be nice if new ones to the kingdom hall could see who their shepherds are.

  there is a great surge in activity, new bible students will be able to locate the proper elder in charge of bible studies!

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this letter was sent as an addendum to the elders regarding their latest elders textbook.

  i think you'll find this interesting and also disconcerting as well.. to all bodies of elders.

  Just What Is The WT Up To Now?

  by lovelylil in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  has anyone heard about what is going on inside the organization these days regarding those who claim to be "anointed" christians?

  i have had at least three different people now who live in different areas of the country tell me that the elders are systematically pushing out people who claim to have become anointed within the last few years.

  these would be younger ones who are now professing the heavenly rather than earthly hope.. i find this interesting for several reasons.

  GB member Dan Sydlik's Exile

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was talking to an ex-bethelite who was at the 'big house' in the late 60s and early 70s and he mentioned that daniel sydlik was exiled (asked to leave bethel) for a couple years when he married his wife (who at the time was very young and very much his junior).

  according to this ex-bethelite, his marriage was somewhat controversial and they didn't want it to stumble anyone at the time, so he still stayed in the nyc area, but just not in bethel?

  of course, this was when they had the corporation director format and before they officially adopted the governing body structure.
