  Anti-JW billboard going up in Texas

  by sunny23 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the first ever billboard has been crowd funded on reddit and will be going up.

  i'm curious to know if it will cause a spark in any jw's who already have questions or doubts and lead them to research into the child abuse cases and lead them to the thought that the wt and gb are not inspired or gods mouthpiece.

  at the very least it will provide people a topic of conversation and questions to the jw's who knock on their door: "so whats this whole sex abuse in kingdom halls thing about i saw on the billboard down the road?

  Ties at the Kingdom Hall

  by CloseTheDoor in

  couple of weeks ago an elder took a young man aside and crawled all over him after the tms for wearing a "skinny" tie.

  it was one of those 2 inch wide ties.

  nothing bright or scandalous about.

  Richard Ashe Court Deposition - " Let elders handle child abuse- don't talk about it "

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  as some of you know i was given pdf files of much of the conti and lopez child abuse court cases and asked from a friend to peruse through it and post some excerpts on the board here that may have been missed or not addressed in the pbs newshour report or the abc news nightline report.

  so after going through this richard ashe testimony i feel i found something quite interesting that exposes the real attitudes of the wt society leaders towards child abuse and the attitudes wt leaders put into it's appointed men's minds as well.

  the viewpoint that richard ashe displays is repeated in elders throughout thousands of jw congregations on this planet.

  Good point Terry!

  I would love to have the full video of his deposition. It is just the opposite of what they want the R&F to believe (see Lett's morning worship).

  Thank you for sharing this info flipper!

  these are the money-grab letters several people have been asking for.

  i almost hate to post these after all the hard work "searcher" did on the other thread.

  his version looks almost better than these.

  Is the congregation’s financial support of Kingdom Hall and Assembly Hall construction

  worldwide being reviewed annually, and is the amount resolved reasonable and in accord with
  

  local circumstances?

  Am I the only "witness here besides the admins?

  I gave the public talk today!

  We focused on Jesus, Sermon on the Mount, Love and NOT being a Rule-making-pharisee. Instead of worrying about the works of others, focusing on your inner person. ;-)

  You guys would be amazed at the number of "marginalized" members of the congregation who came up to us afterwords to say how refreshing the talk was. All I did was read what Jesus actually said!

  I wonder what they have been hearing/taught, that made this sound so revolutionary...?

  May’s ‘study WT’ admits having taught “far-fetched” ideas

  by wheelwithinwheel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  not on the front page, not in the study articles, but carefully camouflaged in the questions from readers on page 18 (watchtower march 15, 2015).

  you can bet most jws wont even read it..

  there is no apology...just the usual excuses..

  607 article on JW website

  by Pubsinger in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2011736.

  i've not bothered to read anything on this for years as i addressed it personally years ago.

  but in this official article they appear to be focusing all their argument on the '70 years' part of the debate.

  Their most recent article series (two parts) are uploaded here: http://imgur.com/a/CvlvQ

  They haven't scraped the Daniel 4 stuff, they just try not to mention it too much!

  My standard Copy and Past response on this topic of 607:

  • Babylon fell 539 B.C.E

    "Babylon fell in 539 B.C." Babylon the Great Has Fallen - God's Kingdom Rules p.184
    "October 5, 539 B.C.E. (Gregorian calendar), when Babylon fell before the invading Medo-Persian armies under the command of Cyrus the Great." - it-1 236 Babylon, History

  • Plus Nabonidus, 17 years

    "On the basis of cuneiform texts he is believed to have ruled some seventeen years(556-539 B.C.E.)." it-2 p. 457 Nabonidus

  • Plus Labashi-Marduk, 1 year

    "Labashi-Marduk ... was a vicious boy, and within nine months he had his throat cut by an assassin." Babylon the Great Has Fallen - God's Kingdom Rules p.184 "Labashi-Marduk, a vicious boy, succeeded him, and was assassinated within nine months." w65 1/1 p. 29

  • Plus Neriglissar, 4 years

    "Neriglissar ... reigned four years" Babylon the Great Has Fallen - God's Kingdom Rules p.184

  • Plus Evil-Merodach, 2 years

    "After reigning but two years King Evil-Merodach was murdered" Babylon the Great Has Fallen - God's Kingdom Rules p.184

  • Plus Nebuchadnezzar, 43 years

    "Nebuchadnezzar ruled as king for 43 years" Insight on the Scriptures, Volume 2 p.480

  • Equals start of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, Calculated by adding above figures = 606 B.C.

  • Minus Nebuchadnezzar's 19th year

    2 Kings 25:8-9 "And in the ... nineteenth year of King Neb·u·chad·nez´zar ... the servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. And he proceeded to burn the house of Jehovah"

  539+17+1+4+2+43 -19=587

  Date for Destruction of Jerusalem = 587 B.C.

  Compare with Tyre:

  “These nations will have to serve the king of Babylon seventy years.” (Jeremiah 25:8-17, 22, 27) True, the island-city of Tyre is not subject to Babylon for a full 70 years, since the Babylonian Empire falls in 539 B.C.E. Evidently, the 70 years represents the period of Babylonia’s greatest domination ... ip-1 p.253 par. 21
