given the proliferation of websites, youtube channels, books and other forms of media attention focusing on the extreme policies, teachings and scandals of the watchtower bible and tract society; where does this now leave the governing body's credibility?.
If you think about it..the watchtower can't lose with its Armageddon teaching.
Sure...Armageddon is very close..in fact..just around the corner...and only the loyal jw will survive.
But
If it doesn't happen..well that's because Jehovah has delayed it to give more people a chance to become jw. So we need to spend more time spreading the good news.
i am looking for the book the harp of god.
i am told it has some crazy passages in it.
can anyone put up some quotes of the book?
i think i recall a booklet from the early 60's--with a harp on the front. or was that a guiness advert ?
i’ve been struggling to end a long-term relationship of 12 years that needs to end.
i came to the truth after i met him, and we never married.
i want to get married, but this man i’m with in not for me.
hello god swill 1.
are you a baptised jw ?
well i thought i had heard it all but, the mercury columns "will christians enjoy sex in heaven" just hurt my brain.
how can god allow sexual relations in heaven without marriage??
in heaven there is no need for anyone to belong exclusively to another(wow!!!
DoC
---ditto x
i was just thinking it would be funny if apostates set up jwfacts carts and placed them in areas where the jws do their metropolitan witnessing to unwitness to people the witnesses have spoken to.
it would probably get the jws backs up like or it would stop the cart witnessing altogether.
was it obligatory for each congregation to buy so many of these carts ? how much do they cost ? who supplies them ?
good afternoon , .
i have been having doubts for many years and as most jw's i have certainly not done myself a favor by suppressing all of my critical thinking.
i am married with 3 kids and my wife and i are inactive, but my wife has made it very clear in speech and action that she wants to go to all meetings, field service, and indoctrinate our kids.
hi--welcome to the site. many of us have been where you are now.
the rise and rise of paul gillies?.
here are a view details about the 57-year-old paul stuart gillies.. .
2011: appointed as a director of international bible students association (ibsa) on 2 november having resigned as a director of watch tower bible and tract society of britain on the same day.
some say a cunt--some say a prick.
can we be in agreement , brothers ?
boring as fuck ! -----even at nearly 70, i dont find fucking anything like boring !
i think i read somewhere that if you have been inactive for ten years plus, the elders will not try to meet with you and corner you to get you back "in".
is that true?.
i just realized that mr. spiral and i haven't gone to meetings or reported time for over ten years.
after i was declared to be apostate in 1981--ive never had an elder visit me--but then i have moved around a lot !
about 4 years back--i had my old dad ( a dub for 50 years) come to live with me--following a fall. one of his friends--an elder--came to visit him. i left them to it. as the elder was about to leave--he said to me--" so when are you coming back into the truth " ?
ha ha. i smiled--and suggested we discuss it sometime. ive never seen him since.
we know that the wt claims all sorts of distinctions between the "anointed" 144,000 and the great crowd.
-- the "heaven" verses apply only to the 144,000; the "earth" verses apply only to the great crowd.
-- "unless you eat of the flesh of the son of man..." applies only to the 144,000, etc.. in fact, when you show jws some passage the wt doesn't follow, they often say, "oh, that only applies to the 144,000.".

does any other religion hold the same idea ? 144,000 to go to heaven--the rest on earth ?
