  Awake 1973 banned Witnesses playing Chess..why?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  are all articles from jehovahs thoughts or do personal biased views poison the watchtower articles?

  imagine a brother who hates chess observing in discust two bethelites playing chess...would it be right to use jehovahs "spiritual food" to push your own warped view....yes!!.

  awake 1973 3/22 p.12 chess- "...the spirit of compitition between players can lead to unplesant circumstances...most families can keep comfrontations to the chess board...but for some the tension lingers long past checkmate...chess has been a game of war since its origin...a play substitute for the art of war...there is a danger of "stirring up compitition with one another" even developing hostility towards one another, something the bible warns christians to avoid..what effect does playing chess have apoun one?

  So Much For Advertise Advertise Advertise (another DVD thread)

  if the ultimate goal is to reach as many people as possible with the kingdom message, why does the society find it necessary to block any public access to the new dvd?.

  could it be because the public will see how vacuous their teachings are?

  producing this propaganda is a new low even for them.

  Protect the elderly

  by defender of truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this weeks km is telling elders to arrange for group studies with people in local nursing homes, with instructions on how to word things when speaking to the directors etc.. they are clearly trying to get to people who may not be entirely able to think for themselves or who may lack critical thinking and yet may have money to leave to them.. what can you do?.

  well, if you wanted to, write a short and simple letter or email to your local care home, perhaps directly even speak to the director yourself... warn them about the brainwashing and danger of breaking up of families etc.

  the km says they should identify themselves as jw's... .

  overhere they already have group sessions with elderly people in local care/nursing homes. Most of the time only biblestories are read aloud and a bible trivia is being done

  Question About the Governing Body

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does anyone know if any of the current governing body members became a jw as an adult, or were all of them raised and bred a jw from childhood?.

  i have a theory that the jws that are "born in" and stay in tend to be more extreme and less reasonable because that is all they have ever known, especially if they are sheltered and groomed to be a good little jw.. and i was just looking at what i could find about the newest and youngest member, mark sanderson.

  he was born on february 4, 1965, and he was baptized on february 9, 1975 ... a few days shy of turning 10 years old!

  i found this article sitting in the files of jwn.

  i have to say it's a masterpiece of writing and very informative.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/86393/1/can-the-truth-survive-the-internet#.u59svtoaysn.

  it's the 7th post down on this thread and written by stephen cox.

  The Witnesses are stuck in the door-to-door-salesman routines of a pre-electronic world, with no electronic outreach except watchtower.org, which no one will ever find unless he goes to look for it.

  I think JW's have solved this problem since september 2012 with JW.ORG and their publicity campaigns, ipads, showing short movies to householders and so on.

  According to Alexa.com JW.ORG is ranked no2 out of more than 80,000 religious/spiritual/atheist websites

  Memorial to cease?

  by Aroq in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i heard something about the memorial to cease soon.

  not anything to do with jesus returning but rather that the number of folks partaking is increasing and the gb can't explain it since it should be decreasing or staying the same.. has anyone heard of this?

  @Aroq is right . This possibility was talked about during the memorial talk. Something like this was said,.. 'Once all 144,000 are gathered the memorial will stop because the need to hold it will be gone by then'

  Thinking about the JW.ORG campaign in august

  it's great to see the jw.org tract in june, 2 months before the rank and file jw gets their eye on it.

  jwn is always actual.

  sitting here in the summer sun, drinking my coffee in the early morning, i got a memory about the co, who visited our former congregation in 2007.. it was the moment we decided to begin our fade and exit strategy.
