  Is old Watchtower literature being preserved by any particular entity?

  by Etude in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i read a recent post from mickbobcat about how expensive some of the old watchtower literature for sale is.

  is there a group or entity that is working to digitize or somehow preserve the old literature, giving others the ability to research them?.

  The importance of being Satan or the Devil

  by Etude in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  while the word "satan" appears in many translations of the old and new testament, it is much more common in the n.t., with only a few mentions in the o.t.

  the word "devil" seems almost exclusively used in the n.t., at least in the few versions i checked.

  this may have something to do with the word origin, satan v devil.

  I need sources for all the times JWs have expected Harmageddon

  by Etude in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i expect that 2 new jw guys in the area are going to revisit me.

  the left some brochures emphasizing how bad the world is and talking about the end.

  i need to break through with examples (wt articles, publication excerpts, etc) so that they can gag a bit.

  The Ultimate Conversion

  by Etude in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one thing that surprised me shortly after joining this site was the number of individuals who, after experiencing the deception of being a jw and the hypocrisy of the “truth”, switched to being catholic or “born-again” evangelists.

  it seemed to me like jumping from the hot pan into the fire.. i don’t want to piss anyone off for his or her choices.

  i feel everyone is free to believe what they may.
