  NWT Scholars

  2. bible

  .

  the book, reasoning from the scriptures does not inform the reader on who are the nwt scholars nor their education background.

  could someone provide some information concerning the nwt scholars?

  I dont think Scholar is really serious. Noone could be that brazenly stupid so I think some of his jesting must be tongue in cheek. I hope.

  Is God a Flip-Flopper?

  by Amazing1914 in

  1. jw

  i have never been able to find a satisfactory answer to these two verses from the bible:exodus 34:7: keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.. .

  deut.

  24:16: the fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.. .

  Excellent questions. I have pondered these several times and asked several people with no good answers.

  I find it so hard to believe that they do this kind of thing over and over again with no thought of how it may hurt others. It happened in our case as well with one of our family members. How they claim to have love and do this is beyond that me. I cant believe more dont wake up to the fact that there is no real love there.

  many times on this board people post to say a factor in their leaving the wt was having read ray franz book(s) - many years ago william schnell published a book - 30 years a watchtower slave - have never seen this book but was wondering - has anyone read it ?

  was it as effective as crisis of conscience in exposing the myth of "the truth"?

  - did it have an imact when it was publised?

  I believe that the trade paperback that's now in print is also unabridged.

  Thanks for the reply. I didnt realize that it was still being printed until just recently.

  I have a Ninth printing, September 1963 edition which I believe is the unabridged addition as it does not say it is an abridged edition.

  I started reading a few years ago but never finished it. My parents had it for years before I acquired it from them. I dont know if my parents ever read it but they had it in their possession all the while they were JWs which was many years. I was really surprised they had it in their house all those years.

  the united nation scandal and all other Watchtower Society scandals

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was recently talking to a jw elder at my job that i have been working at for over 20 years(he knows that i am da'ed but still talks to me trying to get me to come back) and i brought up the un scandal and all of the wts scandals that are hitting the wts.

  he said it does not surprise him that "apostates" would try and deceive many jw's with lies and 1/2 truths.

  i told him that i can get a printed copy of the un ngo membership and that the wts was a member for over 10 years.

  From what I hear in our circuit two counts of spousal abuse after a warning from the elders is dfable and the person is scriptually free to remarry.

  I dont see how they could say that. Not if they say beastiality is not dfable.
