i believe that in the intro to the show jane pauley says that this show was compiled before the catholic story broke in january. if you have it taped look for that. i may be mistaken.

NATO/Russia pact-WTS prophecies fail again........
by ISP inthe wts made many prophetic statements regarding russia and nato/us/uk.
the wts has realized that since the disbanding of the warsaw pact that the prophecies had to be incorrect.
it must now be the ultimate irony that russia has entered a partnership with nato with the prospect of closer ties in the future.

so, if daniel 11:40 says "in the time of the end" and now there is no "king of the north" i guess we are not in the time of the end. it's funny because i mention this to jw's who say how close we are to the end. "where's the king of the north?"...just like "where's the beef?" hahaha.

Does JWs hate the Military?
by AjaxMan inbased on what i read from yadirf's thread on alternative service, it does give me the impression that the wts and the jehovah's witnesses hate the military, and that any jw who joins the military will be df'd.. therefore, i post the questions if jws hate the military?
i'd like to see all your views and explanations.. btw rrmayer or rick, thanks for posting the "soldier's creed".

Has the mnknds cndition gotten better since 1914?
by D wiltshire inhas mankind condition gotten worse or better since 1914?.
the wt concludes that more people are sufuring more since 1914 because that year would spell trouble that would increase.. a brother giving a public talk a couple of weeks ago said mans life span has not increase any noticible amount even with all the advancement we have made in medicine and so the thought trying to be conveyed was don't trust science.. i know many will eagerly point out the facts.. join the watchtower or you will die.. only jehovah's witnesses have the truth all other religions evil and from the devil.. you must beleive the watchtower or you're going to die a painful death forever, isn't that really good news?.

mav,
i would suggest you read "sign of the last days...when" by carl jonsson. you will be amazed at the sheer number of misquotes an half quotes that the wt uses to support their claims. they have become experts at using "........." i always wondered what they were leaving out. now i know! -

Struggling to keep balance
by Lee Elder indont overstate matters.
the situation in oregon is a terrible tragedy.
the watchtowers policy on shunning likely contributed to the tragedy, it may have even been a primary factor but there are any number of other factors that could have contributed as well - too many to even mention!.

the wt didnt pull the trigger....but then again the pope didnt molest any altar boys. the problem is church policy in both cases. forces celibacy...and enforced shunning...let's see 2 df'd families move to oregon to "start over", both end up dead at the hands of the father, all this in 2 months time. it's either the policy or oregon. (just a joke oregonians but you get my drift??)
