  Does the jelly mould theory hold water?

  by barbar in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i recall the idea that just like a jelly mould that has a dent all of the jellies will also be dented.

  therefore just as adam was imperfect we to would have the imperfection.. if a cook makes a faulty jelly, is it the jelly that would be blamed?

  no, it is the cook for using sub-standard tools or materials.. the same is true with adam, the faulty materials should have been replaced immediately, it is no good blaming the offspring of adam and making them pay for his faults.. i never could understand the suggestion that we had to pay for adams sin.

  I need academic journal articles about JWs...

  by somebodylovesme in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  once again, for the sake of a research project, i am looking for any journal articles focusing on or discussing jws.

  specifically, i am interested in sociological/psychological perspectives -- anything communication related would be especially helpful (e.g.

  rhetorical criticism, organizational critiques).

  It hit the fan tonite...

  2. friends

  i picked up my kids from my ex (still jw) tonite.

  she wanted to come and get them back off me on sunday morning so she could take the meeting and every sunday meeting.

  of course i wasn't going to agree to that so she said that she wanted them every second weekend so they could go to the meeting.

  The TRUTH for dummies. Chapter 1

  by beaker in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  being only newly freed from the wts, there are many people who were my friends that i would like to be able to explain the truth about many of the points raised on this board.

  so i have decided to compile a publication that i can mail to them with short succinct, hardhitting reasoning on areas where the wts is misleading them and also areas where they are saying one thing but practising another.

  i would like to be able to limit the explanations to one topic per page with the hope that if there is not too much too read they may just bother to read it.

  Fudging on "Field Service Report"

  by Clinton in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i was a jdub i used to write down whatever hours i wanted to write down.

  when i was pioneering for 7 years i would add a few hours to my time each month so that i wouldn?t fall too far behind.

  even when i wasn?t pioneering though i would inflate my hours a bit sometimes so i wouldn?t have the elders hounding me about my time and also so i could hold a ?position?.
