Most people listen to the radio during their commute to and from work and today's consumer would rather listen to music, sports talk radio, etc. than ruin their day by getting put to sleep by some "the end of the world is soon, soon, soon!" monotonous fool who barely finished high school.

Take your time and thoroughly research the history of the denomination.
It may help to have your husband assist you.
Within a month of serious research you will realize what many of us found out.
We were deceived by a bunch of false prophets.

Watchtower Takes in $2 Million Conditional Loan and Won't Return the Loan, Is it True?
by BucketShopBill ini heard several stories of the watchtower taking in loans and donations given by rich witnesses who have fallen on to hard times and asked for the money back and the watchtower won't return the money.
have you ever heard of the watchtower only paying the money back on "conditional loans" once legal experts get invovled?
one of the stories that is around is a family donated a large chunk of their nest-egg to the watchtower and the husband got sick and the branch refused to contact him when he asked for his conditional donation back, would the watchtower screw people out of their money?

They screwed a sister out of over $30,000 she loaned the kingdom hall to pave the parking lot.
3 months after she loaned the kingdom hall the $$$$ she received a letter from the Watchtower Society thanking her for her genorous donation.
The wicked elders sent her money to the Watchtower Society, turned around and borrowed the $$$ back from the society and tacked it onto the kingdom hall mortgage payment to the society.

The reason things practiced by Jehovah's Witnesses bother you is because God's spirit is making you aware of them.
As far as the morality taught by the Watchtower Society; it is skewed and distorted because no matter how hard anyone tries to live a morally upright life it is out of our reach because all of us are sinners.
If you try to go it alone you will fail miserably at maintaining moral purity.
The only way that you can have a measure of it is through the Holy Sprit, which the Watchtower lies and says is available in full measure to only 144,000.
I suggest that you read Romans (especially chapter 8) and Galatians in a real bible instead of the perverted New World Translation where you will find treasures from God which will lead you to the Holy Sprit.
He will then lead you into all truth and give you a peace you have never experienced.

The insensitivity and opportunistic nature of witness at the 9/11 site !
by stuckinarut2 ini saw an online post with pictures of all the witnessing carts all around the 9/11 site during the anniversary of the tragedy.... im appalled at how opportunistic they are, and how they prey on people in a mourning and vulnerable state!.
apparantly they boast of: "there are 65 carts, with 200 witnesses manning the area... and so far 15 new studies started!".

Curious" Has WTBT changed beliefs on Jehovah's Witnesses attending or working for/in other churches?
by Balaamsass2 injust curious.
"touching the unclean thing" or working for or attending "babylonish" church service or functions was taboo in the past for jws.
has this changed recently???.

No, it is still considered a 'sin' for a baptized Jehovah's Witness to work for a church.
But it is not a 'sin' for the Watchtower Society to sell one of their kingdom halls to a church.
The 'sister' can technically say she is working fr the bridal party and it is just a coincidence that the photos needed to be taken inside the church and on the outside steps.
Her elders will look the other way.
Some elders here work on renovating churches all the time.
I have seen 5 or 6 of them at the same time painting a new nursery addition at a Baptist church.
I was at the church on 'secular' business with the pastor when I saw them.
They were very surprised when I showed up but I told them I wouldn't tell anyone at the hall.
They kept their mouths shut about it and so did I.
No need to get them in trouble for making a living.

Attention Governing Body: October 2, 2014 is only 940 days away...
by Alfred inin 1823, john aquila brown (a man who is not mentioned in any wt publication) came up with a bizarre mathematical calculation which totalled 2,520 years (in an unauthorized attempt to predict the end of the gentile times).... several religions recycled this bizarre calculation, including the adventists and the bible students... when armageddon didn't come on the variety of early 20th century dates predicted by several "dooms-day" religions of that time (including charles taze russell's bible students who predicted that the big a would start in 1914), they all finally realized that this 2,520-year calculation was nothing more than arbitrary mathematical speculation derived from erratic biblical extrapolation.... except for the bible students who continued to move up the date for armageddon 2 more times (1918, 1925) and then decided to use wwi as the starting point for the "last days".. all the while, one thing that seems to remain intact is the october 2, 1914 date.
oddly, for the watchtower bible & tract publishing cult, this particular date still marks the end of the 2,520-year period (that john aquila brown referred to in his bizarre 1823 book "the even tide")... again, no mention of this in any watchtower publication.
but, for jws, that date still remains the starting point for the period of time often referred to as the "last days" or even "the generation that shall not pass".. because of this, the governing body has been forced to change the definition of "the generation that shall not pass" countless times since the early 1970's.
