  What about all the billions of people in India and China? Nobody who Jehovah wants to "draw" to himself from there?

  Is this something new?

  just heard from a friend who keeps in touch with the jw's.

  a person who has been studying found out some things on line about the witnesses and decided to not get baptized and stopped attending the meetings.

  she lives with a witness.

  Yes, I know a man who started studying but never even became a publisher or even attended meetings that much. He found out TTATT online and started reverse witnessing to his JW family, and soon enough he was being called an "apostate" by the congregation and the word was spread to shun him, even though he only studied briefly. Apparently it's all about how much you rock the boat that'll earn you the apostate badge, technically true or not.

  False oath in Russia

  i'll be the first to say that the russian government is pretty terrible and overreaching in its', power but that's not what this is about.

  in a recent hearing, a witness for the jws said this under oath:.

  one thing makes jehovah’s witnesses unique: they do not rely on strict rules or the authority of any particular leader, instead, they try to help adherents develop a bible-trained conscience so that each individual can personally and voluntarily make decisions guided by the bible.. i'm sorry but that is just not true.

  I'm sorry but that is just not true. Then there's this ridiculous contradiction:

  The Bible says that ‘life is in the blood’; therefore, blood should never be used.
  . . .
  They believe that blood should not be used in any form
  . . .
  They do, however, accept minor blood fractions.

  The part about JWs visiting under the '"pretence" of updating records seems critical and not the wording JWs would choose. Where did that form come from?

  I thought these were all WT files. Did they really make this template, as a step up from Do Not Calls?

  That's because it's an American religion. Only 2 out of 8 grew up elsewhere.

  "Do you believe that the 'faithful slave' is God's channel of communication?"

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if a jw had the nerve to ask me this question, i'd say to them, "you go first.

  using only scriptural proof, show me why you believe that the wtbts/ccojw is god's choice and i'll tell you if i agree with your scriptural reasoning.".

  wait for the silence and the rabbit in the headlights moment.. i searched on the wt cd rom for references of "channel of communication.".

  They'd just say generic proofs they believe like 'fulfilled prophecy' about living in the Last Days, JWs are the only ones preaching door to door, they're the only ones who have certain doctrines right like earthly paradise, neutrality etc. (all of which are false but they don't know that), and then when it's your turn to say if you agree or not, you're screwed, unless you don't care if you're disfellowshipped for apostacy at this point.

  Now I remember: They already did basically announce this last year. They said they were ultimately going to combine JWdotORG, JW Broadcasting and Watchtower Online Library. (And I checked: JW channel is still active on smart TV apps, it's only the website that's down.) When you think about it this makes sense, as content was being separated on 3 sites, and you'd have to search all 3. This made even less sense when the lines got blurred, such as videos that weren't on JW Broadcasting, or articles that weren't on Online Library.
