  This Story Says It All

  by Lee Elder in

  this story shows the sad reality of being a jw in a medical emergency, and how incredibly difficult it is to make an informed, free choice about medical care.

  it also shows that for jw's, obeying watchtower leaders is more important than marriage or even the life of your child.

  very sad indeed: http://lifestyle.inquirer.net/267054/religious-husband-dumped-saving-child/ .

  Tony Morris Shows Off Engraved Gold Ring with Turquoise Birthstone(?)

  the july jw broadcasting camera zooms in on tony's ring at around the 8:30 mark here:https://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-jwb_201707_1_video.

  maybe it's not a big deal.

  maybe it is.. in my opinion, it's being kind of flashy.

  It has his initials on it so that when he forgets his own name, he can just look at it as a memory jog....

  Old magazines and single page tracts

  in the july jw broadcast in the section about the cart work worldwide did you notice how many old books magazines and single page tracts they had on the carts to give to the general public.

  So that proves that it is NOT the substance of the information that brings people into the org...as the old material is now outdated.

  It is an emotional attraction that brings people in...

  So it wouldn't matter what the books or tracts say,in fact the pages could be blank, and people who are inclined would still come in....

  heard gave 3 talks at the convention.

  one thing i noticed rather quickly was how stuck he was to his notes.

  he rarely looked up.

  After the stupidity of ToMo3 going on his personal rant during his talks, the GB have probably told each other NOT to vary from the script....

  Watchtower teaches that Jesus dying on the stake is no longer certain

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower has held for many years that jesus died on a stake and held strongly to this teaching.

  w 1951 3/15 the above agrees with the new world translation of the christian greek scriptures in its appendix, page 769, in saying that the instrument upon which jesus was nailed was a stake without a crossbeam, and not the religiously represented “cross”; and that the greek word used for that instrument in ancient time meant a “stake” and not the conventional religious cross.

  they are no longer certain on this point.

  Is this for real?

  Are they really hedging toward dropping the stake teaching??

  Wow!

  Doing your own research

  by Reazon22 in

  we all know watchtower doesn't encourage their members do research for themselves.

  can anyone point out any articles where it mentions this?

  any help would be appreciated.

  June 1st 1967 WT:

  "move ahead with Jehovah's organisation"

  paragraph 12

  We may think of study as being hard work, yes involving heavy research. But in Jehovah's organisation it is not necessary to spend a lot of time and energy in research for there are brothers in the organisation assigned to do that very thing, to help you who do not have much time for this.

  Great point Wake Me!

  Yes, the very notion of "Free will" being highlighted as a gift proves that it is NOT free, as it has been "bestowed" onto humans... therefore negating the very idea of it being "free"

  Evolutionist on their deathbed.

  by Nimble duck in

  1. watchtower

  i would really like to read the thoughts of an evolutionist as they lie on their deathbed.

  their "honest to nogod" thoughts.

  their terrors.

  Show me the evidence for a supreme deity....

  Not some book that is supposedly his word ; because that word shows him to be a disturbingly messed up deity.

  Also, don't point to "the world around us" ; as there are numerous evidences to prove there was no "intelligent design" behind that.

  So, again, show us the proof... without such proof, the hypothesis that "atheists will turn to God on their death bed" makes no sense!

  Will I on my death bed turn to following a sporting team that I have never had an emotional attachment to while living? No!
