  Who cares if the JWs are right?

  by new light in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is by no means an original idea, but even if the jws have been right all along, i don't care.

  if pleasing god means not knowing what to think or feel without checking with headquarters first, then i don't need him.

  who would want to be caught up in an eternal nightmare where the entire population was a braindead mass of clean-cut yes men?

  Lessons require less thinking

  by TheListener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have noticed something for the last couple of years.

  the lessons appear to me much easier and less meaty (this has been discussed at length).

  however, something i haven't seen discussed too often is the changes that have occurred in the thinking portion of preparing for the meetings.

  Who is the Faithful and Wise Servant? It's JOSEPH, of course!

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  who is the faithful and wise servant?

  it's a question that the wt has misused to establish its own authority.

  as it is, the parable today as a cautionary tale applies to whoever it fits, but it is clear who the original servant was that inspired the parable.. .

  Do any of the Aussies remember Dave Madzay?

  by Holey_Cheeses*King_of_the juice. in

  2. friends

  he was one of the chiefs at the australian bethel during the late 70's early 80's.

  i used to enjoy his talks at assemblies - he had something special about him.

  he was dfd (supposedly for apostasy).

  In MY kingdom hall........

  by Pistoff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there will be coffee in the back.

  the format for thursday night will rotate, and will include slides, videos, improv talks about subjects speakers choose.

  women will be elders and ms's......if they can be kings and priests with jesus, that's good enough for me; paul might not like it but he will get used to it.
