  “Millions now living will never die”

  by HappyBlessedFree in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so i’m just reading the part in ray franz book “crisis of conscience” about the 1925 prediction of “millions now living will never die”.. ofcourse all witnesses are very familiar with this campaign.

  yet none of us ever had an issue with it, including myself.

  since the booklet was published in 1920, we are one year away from 100 years from that time.

  Is The Watchtower Society Just Copying The Mormon's Model?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i was a faithful jw i was pretty much obsessed with the mormon religion.

  to me it was like lord of the rings.

  i knew the characters, the history, the events, the joseph smith stories, the religion's history etc etc etc and i long suspected even then that the watchtower society has been copying certain things from the lds church.. for example, the first thing i noticed was when the book study was dropped and family worship was started.

  237,000 illegal migrants in the last 5 months... is it time to intervene?

  by silentbuddha in

  is it possible that anyone being truthful with themself can literally believe that there needs to be a cork placed in this problem.. if this continues, and most sources, not speaking about fox, are suggesting this is only going to get worse and at this rate there will be over 750k illegal migrants.

  how are we suppose to sustain this influx.

  the massive amounts of children flooding the schools in my own municipality is crippling, for many of the counties residents.. as an example the entire county offered free breakfast and lunch to all students.

  I was a 23 year old dub when the watchtower started "the elder arrangement" ...another copy from the Mormons.

  I was on the way out by then.

  The phrase "one of Jehovah's Witnesses"

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws don't say, "i am a jehovah's witness.".

  instead, they say, "i am one of jehovah's witnesses.".

  what does the second way of saying it convey that the first does not?.

  its about exclusivity. they worship jehovah--the rest of mankind dont. ( daft--i know--everyone worships god--regardless of what name has been assigned to him ).

  its like if you ask a jw a question--they answer "we"--rather than "I"

  we believe this--we dont do that etc

  exclusivity.

  Ending Bible Study

  by Maria Nieves in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been studying with jehovah's witnesses for approximately two years.

  initially, i liked the studies and felt that i was growing closer to god.

  however, as the studies progressed, they seemed to become increasingly negative and i did not like what i was being taught.

  The Strange Case of Don Decker on Unsolved Mysteries

  by Tenacious in

  i know many members on this forum no longer believe in the christian god of the bible.

  and we should all be respectful of each other's beliefs.

  no one should be vilified for not believing or vice-versa.. though we all share one thing in common and that's falling victims to the vermin governing idiots.. going back thousands of years, our planet has experienced strange occurrences with many falling under the paranormal umbrella.

  does anyone else know of a person who has such a sensitive nose or bad allergy that they are allergic to the paint or interior of the kingdom hall somehow and they can’t go inside?

  and that person doesn’t even switch halls they “listen on the phone” all the time.

  i know of a couple people like that.
