Interracial Marriage

by Quendi in

here is a question i want to pose because i do not know the correct answer.

i have seen many interracial married couples among jehovah's witnesses--moreso than i have seen in other religions.

however, i have been told that once upon a time, interracial marriage was frowned upon by the wts hierarchy.

COLORED BRANCH
A few years ago the work amongst the colored
brethren of the United States was organized separately,
not for the purpose of separating those who are
in the Lord, but with the thought of rendering more
efficient service amongst the colored people. The
Lord’s blessing upon this effort shows that it was a
wise course to take. The colored brethren have their
own organized classes, and many class workers and
colporteurs in the field. They have put forth a splen-
did effort during the year past, and the results are
gratifying.
The pioneer colporteurs in the field have placed

Kingdom Hall Librarys : Can you still Veiw Older Publications ?eg:Russells,Rutherfords books ?? or even books from the ~50s

by smiddy in

i`m just curious if such books as "life everlasting in freedom of the sons of god " " let your will be done on earth" etc.

are still available in the kingdom hall libraries and if they are then that should be a wake up call to all jehovah`s witnesses.. if they are not then that should be an even bigger wake up call to all jehovah`s witnesses.

the bible has never been altered in 2000 years under the direction of holy spirit.

The Kingdom Hall I attended years ago received their Library from a "anointed member". I recall looking through the 7 Volume watchtower reprints

dating the watchtowers from 1879 - 1919,along with the Studies in the Scriptures,Rutherford's Rainbow and treaties,Consolations and early

Awakes,ect... It got me into collecting books until I amassed a sizable library. Years later I donated a lot to a new Kingdom Hall. The rest I later sold ,

once I left "da troof". I was always fascinated with the late Golden Ages and Consolations , with their anti-Catholic cartoons. I thought alot of the cartoons were very graphic for the younger ones .

Ready or not, Judgement Day is in two weeks--

by moshe in

- and believe it or not, some say the rapture is coming your way on may 21st.

harold camping is still standing pat on this date for the rapture- then on may 22nd, millions of people left behind on earth, who are weeping and wailing, will begin to be killed by god.

however, he is not giving any refunds on may 22nd, if his predictions fail to come true, to contributors who took out their life savings and sent it to his ministry.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9acwnhkvoo.

Another group to be covered by your average taxpayer If they quit their jobs listening to this "prophet" they should be held accountable and not able to collect anything from Social Services ,paid for with our hard earned tax dollars.

I don't get this...Jesus' birth and death

by poopsiecakes in

forgive me if this topic has been raised before - and i'm still working it out in my head so bear with me.... conventional religions, including jw's, teach that jesus was 30 when he was baptized and began his ministry which lasted 3 years.

the year of jesus' death is said to be ad 33, which would make him 33. and that's what i've always understood.... even the wt of april 2011 says that according to 'modern calculations' the year of his birth is thought to be 2 bc and wikipedia says possibly as far back as 7 bc.

i've never heard anyone argue the fact that there's no way these dates add up.

John 8:57 Therefore the Jews said to him: “You are not yet fifty years old, and still you have seen Abraham?” Why not say he was yet 40 if he only lived to be 33? This scripture has always puzzled me about the accurancy of Jesus' true age.
