Could Humor help the WTBTS Demise
by stillajwexelder in
1. jw
2. experiences
paul mccartney did a concerty in red square -- many russians admitted music is universal and rock music and the beatles in particular had a hand in the downfall of communism.

my brother (who works in london) has just scanned in and sent me viz magazine with the new character - and he said "what i thought was funny though was it showed all jw's as radio controlled robots acting like the borg" my question is -- if you criticize jws the ywill refuse to listen --but is it just possible with humor like this -- it might just make them think --- so most young witnesses listen to rock music -- but do you think that humor can help bring about the demise/reform of the wtbts

1914 and 1935 running out of time?
by Blueblades in

the teachings and practices of the society have changed greatly under five respective leaders.russell, (lets not forget barbour,he was the one who published the 1914 date in july 1877,in the book "three worlds,page 83.

" it has been a central teaching of the wt.society since then.

)rutherford,knorr,fred w.franz and now henschel.most wt.publications over 10 yrs.old are outdated and are no longer used.the beliefs that "prove"they are the only true religion are different from their beliefs of fifty yrs.ago.however,the truth will not and cannot change.do you think we can expect the dates 1914 and 1935 to change because of running out of time?i realize that in spite of the changes,they expect members to be in complete agreement with their teachings and to be in complete obedience to the organization.blueblades.

OBVES THE MATHEMASTURBATER
by Satanus in

why call him the mathematical masturbater?

because he is self-pleasuring w mathematics.

not that self-pleasuring is wrong, although he probably thinks it is, so maybe he will get a hint from this, but i doubt it.

No desire to be religious
by TR in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
when people hand out religious flyers, which a young man did today, i feel annoyed, like a salesman trying to hock his wares when i don't need what he's selling.. the young man and the church he represented were a lot less intrusive with their ministry than jw's, though.

that's why it angers me to know that jw's go out of their way to disrupt peoples lives with a bogus religion at the prodding of the likes of the wts.

it's like a yugo car salesman knocking on doors telling people how good the company is.

The Holy Spirit

okay, i'm interested in what everybody thinks on this.

i believe that for the most parts all religions start off with a good motive, i.e., to provide a forum that will help people to serve god.

(basically).
