Wifi, thank you for offering!

The problem that I have is that there is no correlation between English and Spanish bound volumes before 1984, so an article that was printed on November 1953 in the English version will end up being in Spanish on mid 1954 but I would have no idea when specifically.

Now that I looked it up, it seems like it will be either in 1952, or 1953, or 1954:

This whole article would be nice to have:

Questions From Readers

● Is vaccination a violation of God’s law forbidding the taking of blood into the system?—G. C., North Carolina.

The matter of vaccination is one for the individual that has to face it to decide for himself. Each individual has to take the consequences for whatever position and action he takes toward a case of compulsory vaccination, doing so according to his own conscience and his appreciation of what is for good health and the interests of advancing God’s work. And our Society cannot afford to be drawn into the affair legally or take the responsibility for the way the case turns out.

*** w54 1/1 p. 30 Questions From Readers ***

Questions From Readers

● Should we worship Jesus?—G. B., Ethiopia.

The clergy of Christendom that believe in a trinity as the main doctrine of Christianity will answer with a positive Yes to this question. Quite to be expected, for they believe that worshiping Jesus is at the same time worshiping God the Father and God the Holy Spirit, for these three they believe to be Three Persons mysteriously making up one God. The King James Version of the English Bible was rendered by trinitarian translators, and doubtless for this reason the translators rendered the Greek word proskyne′ō by the word “worship,” when applying to Jesus. In fact, in every case of its occurrence in the Christian Greek Scriptures they consistently rendered this Greek verb by “worship.” So we read of the magi’s “worshiping” the babe Jesus, and of persons who approached Jesus or received healing from him or asked favors of him “worshiping” Jesus on earth.

and this one:

*** w54 5/15 p. 317 Questions From Readers ***Questions From Readers● In the January 1 issue of The Watchtower the question from Ethiopia, “Should we worship Jesus?” is answered. In paragraph five Hebrews 1:6 is quoted with regard to the angels of God worshiping Jesus, but in the final paragraph it says: “The answer to the above question must be that no distinct worship is to be rendered to Jesus Christ now glorified in heaven. Our worship is to go to Jehovah.” Does this not contradict the statement of Hebrews 1:6?—T. P., United States.
Thanks!

I totally agree with this video about Islam

https://www.facebook.com/prageru/videos/1182232715152916/?hc_ref=newsfeedcan islam be reformed though?could it, for example, be accepted eventually that only the quran, and only the nice parts of it, need to be followed?how did judaism - the non- orthodox kind - become one of the most progressive and open of religions, considering their holy text is so violent?maybe that should be studied?.

I don't think Islam can ever be reformed

There's gotta be something that can be done. Otherwise, we're fucked. Over a billion people and growing...

False equivalence. You can't drop being gay. You can drop religious beliefs if you want to. Stopping a person from entering a plane because they're gay would be wrong. Stopping a person from entering a plane because they believe that they have a duty to kill infidels in the plane... well... that's just common sense!!

There is a site called The Religion of Peace, which is sort of like a "jwfacts" for Islam... Essentially what they advocate is the same solution that would combat JW's: KNOWLEDGE! Spread knowledge of Islam and how bad it really is, so that hopefully less and less people join it!

i have, for about 6 months now, been trying to watch every single movie that was "cool" or interesting since 1960.it started out with a desire to watch as an adult all disney movies.

then it morphed into all bond movies (except for the non-canonicals).now it's turned into pretty much any and all movies.

here is my list, scratched out are ones i have seen, green are recent next-in line.turns out there was a lot i had never seen before, about 70% because of the cult restrictions!

Finished "No Country for Old Men" and "Precious".

Found "Precious" to be the most painful to watch movie I have ever experienced. Wow. Cried so much...

The depths of despair!!

Can Islam be reformed though?

Could it, for example, be accepted eventually that only the Quran, and only the NICE parts of it, need to be followed?

How did Judaism - the non- orthodox kind - become one of the most progressive and open of religions, considering their holy text is so violent?

Maybe that should be studied?

My Introduction - An ex-elder's story of waking up later in life.

by doubtfull1799 in

background:.

my parents got the “truth” while i was in primary school.

i was baptised at 14. i loved school and was extremely studious.

I concur with wizzstick... don't dissasociate. You've hit the jackpot by being allowed to fade and not be DF'd and still keep your wife.

Please do read Steven Hassan's books, such as Releasing the Bonds and Combatting Cult Mind Control BEFORE you try anything with your wife!! Trying to wake up someone is very, very tough, and there are a million wrong ways of doing it!

I can only imagine the pain you must feel of all those wasted years. We all feel this. Even those who woke up "young"... I think everyone who wakes up wishes they had done so earlier.

Can I share your story on a Spanish exJW website?

Did you know that J.F. Rutherford was part of the Knights of Pythias? There's PROOF for this!

wow.

wow.someone just sent me a scan of the boonville advertiser newspaper in which it mentions j.f.

ILoveTTATT2

I got a non-response response from the KoP:

"Regarding J. F. Rutherford, the records I have regarding past members of Golden Gate #91 (Boonville, MO) only go back to the 1950's - those that go further back are currently in a storage facility in west-central Missouri and I do not have immediate access to them. I will be at that facility in mid-April and will have your request with me - should I find that there was a member named Joseph Franklin Rutherford during that period, I will inform you as to what I found. Sorry I cannot be of more help, thank you."

We will have to wait until April for that then. I am still waiting for the Boonville Advertiser newspaper clippings I ordered.
