Are we DESTROYING society through a false sense of SELF-ESTEEM
by Terry ini think political correctness started the trend of dumbing down.
lowering the bar.
warping the standards.. in every society there are citizens with varying abilities and disabilities.. the natural sorting process is achievement, self-sustaining ability and productivity.. winners vs slackers.

Do you care about calling the Watchtower a false prophet?
by drew sagan inover and over again the argument is made that jehovah's witnesses and/or the watchtower society are a false prophet.
arguments for the 'false prophet' label come as follows: .
the watchtower has predicted the end of the world on certain dates and such things have never transpired.

1914 a time of the end?
by Matt_fs inhey folks,.
i have tried to tell a witness about 1914 and how it was predicted the end of the world, but they come back and tell me that some scripture in matthew i believe, shows how the devil was thrown out of heaven at that time and he came down and started world war 1. so they say even though the end didnt happen, something major happened in the world where everyone went to war.
i just dont know how to come back to this.

Back when the Jehovah witnesses were known as "Bible students" they predicted the end of the world in 1914. It didn't happen so they were wrong and they haven't told the truth since then.

WTS contradicts themselves on Light
by still_in74 inhey all, i posted this in another thread but thought it deserved its own.. here is a perfect example of the blatant disregard wt writers show towards previously written articles.
they just write what sounds good at the time without considering the fact that they just might be actually contradicting themselves.. so here it is:.
flip-flop alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

I said 'BUT IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE WATCH TOWER ! ! ! ! "
When two elders called on me,[to see what my problem was] I handed them several sheets that quoted from WTS and they said the same,"That's Apostate material." I said "And it came from the WTS." That was about 5 years ago and I haven't heard from them since.

Please, I need helpful suggestions.....
by New light for you ini've been reading this board for a while, but never posted, but now everything has changed and i have nowhere to go for suggestions- .
my witness husband (robert7) in december, the night before the assembly, told me that he isn't a witness anymore, doesn't want to be involved anymore, doesn't believe it.
of course, i'm a good witness, take the kids out in service a few days a week every week... very active in the cong.my first reaction was that "i cant love him if he doesn't love jehovah" and it really looked like we surely would get a divorce in jan/feb.

I'm the co-ordinater of fun stuffetc.at the hall, friends with every one and play and watch everyones kids.
Sounds like my daughter, My fault for raising her in the cult. But like so many others, thought it was the truth. But when my Son left the organization, I wanted him back in, so done research like you did and found out what the real truth is and got out. Had many friends [I thought]. But none will speak to me and my daughter said "We don't have a relationship anymore." Be glad you left while your kids are still young and you won't lose them. Your family is more important than an Apostate religion.

Why I will NEVER be an elder again
by stillajwexelder inso the po confirmed what many on this board already know.
at latest round of co to elders meeting, the co quoted from the society outline.
any elder or ms who encourages college for his kids or others or who allows his children to go to college will no longer qualify.. he then asked if i was going to take the cos encouragement and reach out again to be an elder and get my hours on the ministry up.. i replied "i will never be an elder again - i strongly approve of further education and college and have been through college myself.

Just read in the paper today where a JW who claimed to be an annointed died. But never believed it myself. But don't believe in that 144 thousand stuff. Glad I am out of the cult.

opinions on this verse please
by bite me inon first john 5:20 it says that jesus christ is the true god and eternal life.
i decided to see what it said in the nwt and it was very similar just that it read life everlasting instead of eternal life.
i realized that they didn't lower case the 'g', unless i overlooked it, when saying jesus was god or even a god.

It's clear to me it is talking about 2 different persons. "Even in HIS SON Jesus Christ."
