16Tithing
by AshtonCA inokay, i have looked all over this board and i can't find anything on tithing.
actually, i tried to search for it, but i can never get the search thing to work.. anyway.
jw's are against tithing, but when i look it up, other religions have scriptures that say we are supposed to.

WHY Doesn't The WTS Observe The Resurrection?
by Sunspot ini never got a real answer about this when i was a jw.
the only explanation that i ever got was that jesus said to "do this in remembrance of me" meaning the taking in of the wine and unleavened bread.
he never said "not" to observe his birth or his resurrection.

The 1000 word apostate challenge.
by kwintestal incan you refute a jw doctrine in 1000 words or less (scriptural text and references excluded)?
pick one and try, if enough try it we should have a fairly compact "here's why you should leave the jw's" package.
here's an example: god?s name being ?jehovah?

Why www.watchtower.org?
by PopeOfEruke injust was wondering today, why is the official jw website www.watchtower.org?
why not use the magic word "jehovah" in the website name?
why use the name of a single publication when jw's are supposed to be a "people for god's name"?

what bible is true?
by kls inas most of you know my hubby is in the jw.
cult and every morning he reads his daily text.i asked why he needed that daily dont you know how to conduct yourself from day to day?he goes on to say ..it's bible passages,i said why not read the bible..he say's this text breakes it down and makes the daily reading easier ,read it see for yourself.well i did just that i read passages in it and checked what it said to a bible.
hum o'k it matches his bible but this other bible my daughter gave me from her lutherin church it's different which one do i believe?when asking my hubby he said all bibles change some words so it's easier to understand but ,the new world translation, is the closest there is to the origional.my question what bible is right, what bible can i use to compare that he would see his is wrong.one that is non denominational that suits a certain religion.
