  2. scandals

  this information is taken from thesis by peter strawhan, 1984, re jws in australia in ww2.

  rees was head of jws in australia, who were banned 1941-43.

  jws contributed 10,000 to war bonds from cash accumulated during ban, reported to knorr july 1943. rees: ?of course the fact that we took out the bonds has not been publicized, but we have seen to it that the government officials such as security, army, manpower, etc, know of it.

  The New World Translation and Honesty

  by Little Bo Peep in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  after having researched my beliefs of 45+ years, finding so much was really different than what the bible context really taught, i decided to "read" the bible for for the first time to see what it really was saying, taking off the "blinders" of the wt.

  i began reading the greek scriptures first.

  i used the new world translation, knowing if we were to ever reach our grown children, i would need to use that translation to prove anything.

  Are we really free or are we just kidding ourselves?

  by cyborgVision in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  hope i can get some positive feedback., and i really mean it, don?t want to offend anyone but .. .

  reflecting on your own experiences are people on this website mainly open to new points of views, new ideas, or is this mainly a site for criticizing even when there?s no concrete evidence just for the sake of it.

  reason why i?m asking this is because i?ve been a member here for just under a week here and already had unpleasant experience of being dragged into pretty nasty argument just because i dared to disagree with someone.

  Daniel's Prophecy, 605 BCE or 624 BCE?

  by Little Bo Peep in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hello all, i've been reading your site for a couple of years now, and have found, for the most part, it to be very helpful.

  i must say, at first i was very "scared" at what i might find, but contrary to what i grew up learning, there is a "wealth" of information outside of the watchtower organization.

  i haven't attended meetings for about two years now, and like many i've read about, have spent many hours researching, telling myself "i'm not wrong for searching", and doing more research.

  a great crowd and rev 21

  by IP_SEC in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i?ve been researching the references to a great crowd at revelation 7 and 19. it seems to me that there is little doubt that the vision places them in heaven.

  naos, enopion, and the reference to heaven in chapter 19 seem pretty conclusive as to their heavenly position to me.

  my problem is that, when i read revelation 21:1-4 it seems to me that this is speaking about the same group as the 'a great crowd' at chapter 7 and 19. at 7:15 it says god will spread his tent over this group.

  Is hemoglobin now a conscience matter?

  by ithinkisee in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  according to the ajwbr.org website, it says.

  "june 15th 2004: the june 15th watchtower expands on the june 15, 2000 article.

  for the first time, the rank and file jehovah's witness learns that the single largest blood component (hemoglobin) is now permitted as a matter of personal choice.

  Is the Bible Opposed to Celebration of Birthdays?

  by Kenneson in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  yes, says the watchtower society.

  because, they inform us, only pagans celebrated birthdays per the bible and in each case a death occurs.

  let us examine the two passages they use to support their conclusions.

  Do You Think That You Might Turn Back To Jehovah?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i`ve never yet been snubbed by a jw.

  the reason is that i refuse point blank to speak to them unless they speak to me first.

  so, if i`m visiting my jw mum and jw visitors arrive which they often do i just smile, raise one eyebrow slightly, and look `em straight in the eye!.

  (the david bowie song in case you're wondering).

  there seems to be a lot of talk and speculation about the changes that are coming at the next district conventions.

  there have certainly been quite a few articles and talks (esp.
