Watchtower Magazine - Statement of Purpose
by Nicholaus Kopernicus in"the purpose of this magazine, the watchtower, is to honor jehovah god, the supreme ruler of the universe.
just as watchtowers in ancient times enabled a person to observe developments from afar, so this magazine shows us the significance of world events in the light of bible prophecies.
it comforts people with the good news that gods kingdom, which is a real government in heaven, will soon bring an end to all wickedness and transform the earth into a paradise.

The scary thing to me is, this guy was always nice to me - on a personal level. Yet, at the same time he is one of the men at the head of an organization that is, in my opinion, Evil.Anyone can be nice when the situation requires it.

fraud, slander. "The congregation would not consider forming a judicial committee unless the offended Christian had taken steps one and two of Matthew 18: 15, 16 and had initiated step three of Matthew 18:17.-od pp. 147-149." p. 67
Very good. The actual paragraph in question is on page 68. It is hoped that you are an elder, in good standing, and therefore qualify to take this quiz. If not it may be found that you are guilty of brazen conduct, showing contempt for authority. In such case a judicial committee may have to deal with you, unless, of course, you show true repentance. [ If you are, in fact, an elder, in good standing, please disregard the previous statement.]

" If asked, elders could participate in step two,
but they do not represent the body of elders. If the
matter proceeds to step three, any elders who were
witnesses in step two could serve only as witnesses in
step three. They would not be used to serve on the judicial
committee in step three."Have fun!

Governing Body Needs To Fight For Social JusticeCalifornia’s low-wage workers now earn less than in 1979
by RoyalFlushPhil injws with good jobs need to thank themselves for not quitting their job because the trend is things are going to get worse as wages drop and inflation eventually moves upward.
the housing market shows this mess happening right before our very eyes, think about the rental markets, their really tight because people don't have money to buy houses and they don't have the down-payment.
many have fear their investment won't grow like they did prior to the 2008 meltdown years, their lack of conviction is driving rental prices higher.

Many of the comments you will hear on this site will be discouraging. Why do you want to remain a JW? You should try to free yourself, not get yourself in deeper. etc, etc. Many comments will give helpful advice. Stay focused. Your old enough to know what you want. -

Types and anti types
by Deltawave inaccording the watchtower study of may 10th, it has been made clear no prophetic meaning should be given to a a scripture or passage unless the bible itself gives clear interpretation of it.
therefore daniel 7 especially gives it's fulfillment to nebuchadnezzar only.
no future kingdom or 2520year wait til 1914. no gentile times or "this generation".
