  while i'm glad i found this site, it has also crumbled to bits everything i've believed in my whole life.

  i feel like the certainty, magic and wonder has gone out of my life.

  this has left a huge hole in my soul.

  i've noticed about half my half are using these.

  of course there's always the potential for people to be looking at things non jw on them.

  are the society going to find a way to police this?

  out of date references at assembly

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at the last district convention i remember feeling really embarrassed by the out of date references made about wars and other issues.

  for instance, they talked about the hutus and tootises also the serbs and croatians when they talked about war.

  they also talked about dr spock telling people not to smack children.

  a jehovahs witness who was sacked as a fitness coach after telling a gym member that yoga would allow evil into her body has won a pay out for unfair dismissal.. maciej grochowski, was sacked from his role at the virgin active gym in middleton after several warnings over complaints he was making staff and clients uncomfortable by discussing his beliefs.. he was finally given the boot after writing a series of e-mails to bosses spelling out his religious opinions on issues such as halloween and satanism.. an employment tribunal ruled he was unfairly dismissed as he had not breached the terms of a final warning banning him from discussing religion when it was unwelcome or made others feel uncomfortable.".

  "mr grochowski was first warned about his behaviour in june 2011, after several members contacted the gym to see when he was working so they could avoid being there at the same time.

  why Jehovah's witnesses? not yaweh witnesses?

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this i never understood, the publications say that gods name translated from hebrew is yaweh.

  why add a whole bunch of letters and vowels that change the sound of the name completely?

  i've often thought surely we would gain greater respect on the ministry if we used a name that is historically and verbally accurate?.

  i've been browsing the site for some time as things that the society teach just are not adding up much these days.

  by exploring some of the threads on here i'm starting to see why.

  PAYBACK: How Judge Rutherford conceived the MILITARY neutrality policy

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when rutherford published (in defiance of russell's will) a phoney posthumus final volume of russell's studies in the sciptures (the finished mystery) problems began which eventually resulted in criminal prosecution for watchtower society administrators.. certain passages in this book were so anti-government as to represent the society's views as dangerous to national security.

  (in a time of war.).

  the blowback from this book was unexpectedly severe.
