  It lifed for me the moment I read about Charles russel,1914 and the pyramids. I was one of those who made the "truth" his own, so it was easy to see the lies then. I was a JW then and I'm still considered a JW :-)

  it looks like hamas is more concerned about political power than allah!

  http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/middle_east/4776578.stmhamas spurns al-qaeda's war call .

  hamas has dismissed a message by al-qaeda number two ayman al-zawahiri urging the palestinian militant group never to make peace with israel.

  April 1, 2006 WT: You Can Understand The Bible (deliberate lies)

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on the front cover of the april 15, 2006 wt is a picture of a bible with the title, "you can understand the bible".

  now bear in mind, that the wt magazine is considered the more scholarly of the mags that come out, where the awake!

  is considered little more than a cut-down version of reader's digest for 12 year olds.. i'm only including the interesting bits.

  The WTS has had articules about the Catholic church during the dark ages, how they were keeping the bible away from the common people, what they are doing now is not much different.

  JW couples don't love each other

  by Nosferatu in

  2. friends

  has anyone else ever noticed this in the kh?

  married couples don't seem to show any affection to each other.

  however, when a couple is dating, they will hold hands.

  I have noticed that there is a measure of coldness between couples, but then they reassure others how happy they are, particulalry elders wives. How can they really be happy, their hubbies are never home, they have to go to elders meetings, etc... they do everything by arrangement nothing is spontaneous, maybe even their sexlife. They must allways be out witnessing, on the weekends too, do a family study, personal study, and go to all the meetings.. thats enought to kill anyones' emotions. And then are they expected to feel lucky because they have such a wonderful and spiriual husbands! No wonder so many just give up leave a note on the table and run off with someone else.

  It seems it didn't take long to replace the "knowledge" book, I guess it was a flop.

  2. friends

  as a non jw (thank god) my journey of insight into the abyss of deceit, darkness, and mind control known as the watch tower is oh so short.

  maybe 6 weeks at best.

  my quest to gain the knowledge to help my df'd young friend dee see the truth is at worse, well... overwhelming.

  i am sure that the watchtower did reprints of ct russels books of "studies in the scriptures' in the early 80's, can anyone confirm this ??.

  i just stumbled on this site today, and am i ever glad i did!!!

  i was raised as a witness, my mom being a witness and my dad a non believer.

  growing up i never wanted to follow all the rules, and often broke them behind my mothers back.

  What do you swear on?

  by Gretchen956 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was watching a tv program where someone was swearing an oath to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, their hand on the bible.

  now i know that there are a lot of christians here, and that wouldn't be a problem for them.

  but what about the rest of you?
