  THE QUOTE THE WBATS DENIES MAKING OF 1975!!!

  by ADJUSTMENTS in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wtbats like to state "we never stated when the end will come" when they blatantly have:.

  1969 "if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.

  because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years.

  A Challenge for Jehovahs Witness Apologists : Identify What Jesus Christ Has Accomplished In His Nearly Complete 100 Year Reign From 1914

  by smiddy in

  i for one would be very interested , if you can quantify what his acheivements have been , these past almost 100 years .. incidental acheivements could do for a start ,.

  followed by more meaningfull acheivements ,.

  then to top it off , with his major acheivements that he can be accredited with these past 99 years of his kingdom rule ,.

  Is the WTS backing away from "Bible Tall Tales" ?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was a kid, it seemed like not a meeting went by when you didn't hear about jonah or sampson and other tall tales from the bible.. now though, they seem to have been sidelined.

  i guess the rest of the world caught on to the fact that these stories couldn't possibly be true and were so far fetched (yeah, even by bible standards) that they are just treated as 'stories' like aesop's fables.

  saying that you believe in them as genuine accounts just makes you look like a crazy zealot.. but the wts is different.

  How to accept the actions of the Old Testament God

  by confusedandalone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how are we able to do this.. this is not an attempt to stir the pot or cause confusion but i was sitting here thinking of all the really horrid things that the old testament god did to people.

  when i was a jw i just purposely put it to the back of my mind always trying to make an excuse.

  when i was in field service and someone would ask me about it i would just change the subject.. however i have been reading alot of info lately here about how wonderful jesus is and how he is a direct representation of what god the father would be.

  Have you grown detached from caring about JW family and old friends?

  by tootired2care in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after being out of the borg for a year and a half, weve dealt with a lot of nonsense from local elders stopping by unannounced, well-meaning do-gooders trying to encourage us.

  somehow weve managed to get through this without getting dfd/dad.

  for me the worst part of it all has been that much of my family has shunned me, and stopped talking to me, as soon as they heard through the grapevine that i wasnt going to meetings.

  LURKERS, FENCE-SITTING JW'S and FADERS, here is your LIST

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1.you cannot change what you refuse to confront.. look at how you are feeling most of the time.

  that sense of going nowhere and feeling down is not because you aren't spritual enough.

  it is because you are filling your life with empty purpose brought to you courtesy of the watch tower bible and tract society!.

  A one sentence reply that could jolt a JW

  by HBH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mind was wandering last night, and i though of this as a reply to a jw.. "oh, your the people who believe 8 men in brooklyn, ny are directing the world's only true religion.".

  the sentence is a fact that they can't deny, but clearly shows delusion.

  any other one sentence "stingers"?.

  "The organization has never disappointed us..."

  by Franklin Massey in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the simplified english edition of the july 15th, 2011 watchtower, in an article that warns jws about apostate influences, the following quote is given as a reason to stick close to the watchtower organization:.

  "the organization has never disappointed us and always gives us an abundance of pure waters of truth from god's word.".

  a scan of the page can be found here: http://www.jwfacts.com/images/watchtower-2011-jul-15-p12-apostates.jpg.

  The Journey of Humans, Across the face of Planet

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  i've culled these articles from past horizons to illustrate the few things we can know about a journey that was unrecorded, its only modern science that let's us discern some of the details and the path via the study of the human genome.

  at this stage i've culled seven articles that indicate some evidence of this journey:.

  the journey is still thought to commence in africa,.

  Why JW's take on education is truly disingenuous

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we've all waxed poetic about the jw views on higher education and how they truly stifled people trying to pursue an education.

  but what did they offer as an alternative??!!.

  at least mormons (who's theology is as equally fucked up as jws) had an accredited school in brigham young university that their people could aspire to attend.
