"The Gospel of the Watchtower Society"
by UnDisfellowshipped inwhat does the watchtower society teach about jesus being the mediator and savior?
here it is in a nutshell: .
1: god created michael the archangel (aka "the word" and "the master worker" and "wisdom") before anything else, then through michael, god created all other things.

Perhaps the old boy got what was coming to him...
Devils:
You may be right of course.
The point of raising these cases IMO is to highlight the 'lack of love' within an organisation who claim to be 'full of brotherly love and affection' - when clearly they ain't

Fault in human DNA strand?
by El blanko inhi there - i'm sorry if this is off topic slightly, but i need information.. i am not learned in this area of science and wondered if it is true that there is a fault within human dna that science assumes is the reason we break down and die and are unable to explain.. forgive my ignorance here.
this question spins off from a conversation i had this afternoon with an ex-jw who wishes to get back to the kingdom hall and was using this argument to present his ideas to me.
i told him that i was not aware of this particular area of study but would look into it for him.. i am assuming that he read this in an awake article maybe?.

I can't imagine a typical dub getting any of this. Most are window cleaners, janitors, and other menail job ppl. They barley know what DNA is, nevermind how it divides, or what chromosones are.
I would love to get an earfull of your disussion with them, LOL!
I really enjoy my friends company and he was an active witness for over 30 years!! He has great qualities, but does suffer as a result of his time with the society. His mentality is splitting apart at the moment and I am desperately trying to prop up his mind with a little 'secular' reasoning to enable him to exist on the outside of the org'.
I am not trying to persuade him to ditch the Bible, just to take a more flexible approach when accumalting knowledge to support his belief system, in this way he may eventually see that the society do not have all of the answers and indeed the Bible needs to be viewed as a record which has it's uses spirtually speaking, yet may be fallible.
The discussions do get very draining at times, but are worthwhile (at least, I think so).

The problem this old timer had is the same that many have. They read the scriptures and work out their personal understanding and then come under fire by 'those who know better'.
That is one major problem with the Christian faith - it encourages the arrogant prophet to come to the surface in many; when certain areas of the faith are obviously deeply subjective.
Abandoning a man when he is 85 is a disgrace. Why they couldn't simply have accommodated him, whilst not encouraging him to teach (James 3:1-2 ???) is beyond me. Pathetic and spineless people.

I CONFRONTED THE ENTIRE CONGREGATION TODAY
by Corvin intoday, i was on the scene of the local congregation of jw's where my ex-wife and her husband attend.
physical, emotional and mental abuse has been purpetrated upon my kids for eight years now.
they have been victims of alcoholism, verbal bashings and they have been made to watch their stepfather beat the hell out of their mother and then be halled off to jail without saying a word to anyone for fear fo reprisal from him and their mother.

Hehe - too true.
Well done that man - it's just so sad that it had to come to this.
