  Far too long. Lost interest after the first paragraph. Waste of paper and printer ink.

  Are the Creative days 7000 years long?

  by Steve J in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  where does the idea that the creative days of the genesis account were 7,000 years long come from?.

  genesis doesn't suggest that they were specific time periods, but shows that one "day" extended into others.

  i feel that the clue is in the words; "and there was an evening and there was a morning, a first day.

  the 7000 year day thing was the one thing i just could not accept--or get any explanation for it. it was pure rubbish. but that was 50 years ago.

  after many years absence from any contact with the watchtower cult--it came as a surprise to find out it had quietly faded away when i found the world wide web of ex jw's.

  1975 wasn't presumed by the witnesses, it was presumed by some witnesses who based their life choices on rumors and hearsay rather than what was written, and they were weeded out

  
  

  oh good...thanks for clearing that up. i was an active jw in the late 60's / early 70's and i can assure you it was anything but rumours or hearsay..although a lot of dubs did take it to heart and planned their lives and finances on it .

  As for being weeded out--the district servant who spoke openly about 1975 ended his career at watchtower HQ in the UK.

  its so easy to get the time in letter writing ( or typing )

  take as long as you like composing your letter--lets say it takes one hour.

  then print off ten copies.

  so thats one hour--plus ten copies--each valued at one hour. Total--11 hours to report this month. Happy days.

  why dont you reply along the lines of-

  "ive always wanted to be a Jehovahs witness--but never met one before--so i'm so pleased to get your letter."

  whether you choose to put your real name and address is up to you x

  Does the Jehovah's Witnesses fall into category of being an organized cult ?

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think it does especially being that this organization is rigidly structured itself on formulated doctrines from a top hierarchy of men which are strictly enforced, among other reasons.

  what cults are.

  a cult is not necessarily a religious group, although religious cults are common, including breakaway sects from more mainstream faiths.

  You have to admit if there were to be a 2nd coming of the Christ, now would be the time!

  i'm not talking about armageddon, but a chance for all mankind to "reset" and come together.

  just sayin.

  i know i'm going to get nailed, but that's ok. i still consider myself a christian..

  i'm more inclined to believe there will be a 2nd coming of Hitler than christ.

  Thoughts on JW funerals

  by Syme in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i recently had the sad opportunity to attend 2 jw funerals.

  the first was a few months ago and the second today.

  the first was my grandfather's and the second of an old friend back from my jw days.

  my JW dad died 5 years ago--almost to the day. i checked his will--there were no instructions as to his funeral. as i was his sole immediate next of kin--it was up to me to organise his funeral. No way was it going to be a watchtower thing--i wouldnt have gone if it was ! just a non-religious committal. just me and 2 of my ex jw friends were there--plus 2 staff from the care home he had lived in for 3 years. All over in a few minutes. i bet they thought it was odd.

  there was no-one from his congregation in attendance...but that might have been because i didnt tell anyone !
