  The JWs don't like Chess

  by mickbobcat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i can remember when i joined the chess class in middle school.

  my mother brought out an older watchtower article about how chess is a game of war.

  since i left the cult in 95 i have slowly lost any connection to the cult.

  what are the society's rules when confronting a disfellowshipped person at a funeral service?.

  are there specific rules or watchtower articles that must be followed?.

  i have been to three different wakes/funerals where a disfellowshipped person attended with different results.. 1. ten years ago my first cousin passed away.

  which is why--i never informed the local jdub congregation when i arranged my father's funeral. Saved them all that embarrassment at having to ignore me.

  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.
