  What Is the Real World?

  by Satanus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wt has it's own definition of 'the world', which they claim to not be a part of.

  yet, in following trends, such as fear trends, ultraconservative fashion trends, allowing it's members to take in various media, such as popular music, movies, sports, the jws are part of the world.

  yet, by wt definition, they are not.. sitting, thinking yesterday about my life, my social contacts, work, play etc.

  this came up in another topic and feel it needs a topic of its own.

  does anyone else have experiences of meeting (cant use the word 'brothers')men from high up in the borg and felt uneasy about it.. alanb wrote.

  i was at twickenham many years ago (about 20) and went to the admin area to get info about serving where the need was great (great plan that turned out to be) anyway there were two elderly yet autstere brothers standing at the steps to the main office area looking as though they owned the place, they had a real air of seniority and importance about them, i have no idea who they were, yet sense they were senior one was english the other american.. .

  THE WEAKEST LINK---fatal flaws in Watchtower Chronology

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  watchtower chronology suffers from weak logical links.

  after all, they start with an unproven premise and begin linking and linking and linking and suddenly they produce the rabbit out of the hat.

  1914 is the rabbit .

  On the fading of 1914 ............

  by TheOldHippie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  forgetful as i am, i just forgot the title of the new brochure issued at this summer's conventions, but it is something like "keep on the watch", and it deals with the imminent return of christ, the signs of our times, and the need for being on the watch, being prepared for the "any day now" return.. the signs of our times are mentioned, but not earthquakes, so they are "out" again, it seems.

  but, the first pages make out the basis for the belief in our days being the last ones, the final ones, and 607 is mentioned, 539 and 537 - but not 1914, not the "seven times" or "2520 years".. do you remember 1995, when the "generation change" came?

  in summer, the "knowledge" book was issued, and it also dealt with the signs etc., but for the first time, there was no mention of the then "present truth" that some alive in 1914 would still be alive and witness the return.

  Belief - a key to Spiritual experience

  by LittleToe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  setting aside dogma, taking the comments of augustine to a deeper level ("unity in what is essential.

  freedom in what is not essential.

  charity in everything"), i'd like to share an observation.. i don't know if i can articulate it properly, and i know it'll open me up for some abuse, but so be it.

  Ewatchman: christians in the "strictest sense"

  by trumangirl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i quote from ewatchman's latest essay "will christianity survive the end of the world":.

  indeed, we are assured by god's everlasting word that the meek will inherit the earth and reside forever upon it.

  however, in the strictest sense, only anointed individuals are truly christians.

  Satan's Direct Attack

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just another watchtower contradiction!

  the watchtower, june 1, 2003 issue, page 20, paragraph 11:

  "gog of magog is identified as satan the devil in his debased condition since 1914. as a spirit creature, he cannot carry out his attack directly, but will use human agencies to do his deeds.
