  2. bible

  so, here's the scripture:.

  2:2 in the last days, the mountain of the lord's temple will be established as chief among the hills, and all nations will stream to it.

  many peoples will come and say, "come, let us go up to the mountain of the lord, to the house of the god of jacob.

  Is. 2:2 In the last days, the mountain of the LORD's temple will be established as chief among the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
  
  the house of The God of Jacob = the anointed, or the 144,000

  Glad to see that you recognize that the 144,000 will be on earth and not a heavenly class. Which is supported by Revelation as to where the 144,000 will be.

  Parallels between Jonestown and WT org?

  how many saw the recent "jonestown-paradise lost" on the history channel?

  i realize the suicide/murder of over 900 in jonestown, guyana on novemebr 18, 1978 may be old news but i've always been interested in how cult leaders hold power over their believers.

  i've been reluctant to classify jw as a cult but some obvious parallels struck me:.

  My wife has a wonderful relationship with God and she is very supportive of me. She helps me with my relationship with God. I would never make the statement that all women are hateful

  To Know, know, know me is to J-W-D Me!!!

  would you be comfortable knowing that your co-workers, neighbors and or friends could find out so much about you, how you thought, felt and believed on so many issues?

  could you let others who don't really have a clue as to who you really are, come here and look you up?.

  would you consider it a good start for someone who wished to get to know you, to start here?.

  I believe that most people only know that JW go door to door. They do not know what a JW believes.

  Most Christians do not know exactly what JW's believe, except that it is not acknowledged as acceptable doctrine by those that do know. And that most consider them a bother and make it harder to present the gospel to others.

  JWs are not as hated as the WTS and their followers believe that they are. If a JW was chased off a door step by the residents dog so would any other Christian knocking at the door.

  If a JW would be open to hearing a non-JWs opinion, they would not find it as hard to talk to people. But when you feel like you are talking to a brick wall it tends to make you short with the next JW that comes along.

  The WTS society admits that the door to door ministry is inefficient

  by cultswatter in

  2. scandals

  look at what the scans below say.

  that publishers spend considerable gas and insurance and time to go from door to door to place the odd magazine or book.

  in reality the jw publisher is footing the whole bill and then some.. the jw publisher has to spend about 100 dollars per month for every dollar from donations received for literature sold at the door.. i know this to be true as i used to flog books at the door.

  Zack,

  Your post reminded me of when they asked Ray Kroc what business McDonalds was in. His responce was the Real Estate, hamburgers were just the means of aquiring real estate.

  The WTS sure owns real estate. They just need to find the means to acquire more.

  Parakeet,

  I agree that it is about both, but I think today the main reason is control.

  Another thought is that at one time the leaders had to go door to door, so now the new ones must do the same.

  Think of all the old properties they own. Who better to inspect them if a question is raised or they want to sell. Save a lot of money if Asbestos is never found.
