  You know what maths is..? To reach an answer, we also have to show how we reach that answer.

  How Will The Watchtower Handle Disclosure?

  by metatron in

  1. jw

  for me, the disclosure of ufo's as being real is just matter of time.

  it's not a matter of any mayan calendar or galactic alignment.

  it's simply the eventual outcome of increasing and increasingly bold ufo observations.

  I think they would exploit/twist (to fit an agenda) Acts 2v19 - ''And I will show wonders in the heavens above...''

  587 BC for Total Dunderheads

  by Farkel in

  if you're a dunderhead on neo-babylonian history (like me) you've probably remained totally clueless whenever the subject of the chronology leading to back 607 b.c.

  since i had nothing better to do today, i decided to finally take the time it takes to understand why dub chronology on that date is wrong.

  this piece of information alone should give you a clue about how bored i am!.

  I never get bored of reading these. It's quite astounding how the R&F just believe incorrect maths, lol..

  Has anybody given any thought for Calebs freind ?

  by smiddy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after all, this unidentified freind of caleb gives him a toy, which calebs mom finds objectionable , shouldn`t she just have said to caleb ,give it back to your freind ?

  and not dump it in the trash can ?

  what sort of a message does that send to caleb (or any other children who watch this video ) calebs mom should have acknowledged that his freind gave him a present, and it should be appreciated , not to disrespectfully throw it away in the trash can with no thought to the giver of the present.. smiddy.

  Yes, I responded as such on a previous thread. In addition, I also think JWs are taught that the feelings of 'Worldly' peeps are irrelevent/don't matter.

  " - the tale of young caleb and his brush with divine wrath over a plastic toy wizard.

  a link to the article, which includes the youtube samples of the production, is below:.

  Cheers Cedars ...

  It does make me wonder why the WT would release such an 'article' at this time. How much are they charging for this wonderful pece of cinematic excellence? Do we see an Oscar nomination in the offing? Lol. ''And nominations for best animated short film are...''

  So let me get this right - it's ok for the WT to 'create' fictional wizards (to scare children)..?

  Is this released in England/UK too?

  I think Caleb's friend has learned a valuable lesson - JWs are ungrateful. Imagine if the scenario was reversed. Caleb gave his friend something that he spent his own money on to please his friend, and the friend just discarded it. Poor Caleb would be hurt, but he'd also learn that 'Worldly' people are thoughtless etc.

  Today's wt study article quotes a Nazi mass murderer as a reference

  by fugue in

  2. bible

  today's study article, "do not look at the things behind," from the 3/15/12 study edition, which was reviewed by blondie in her thread, has a footnote on paragraph 12.. the original-language word here translated refuse.

  also meant what is thrown to the dogs,.

  dung, excrement.

  "talk about double standards ... they refuse to sing hymns glorifying God becasue they were written or composed by "worldlies" but they offer up a study theme written by a war criminal"

  Should the Watchtower get an official facebook, twitter or youtube page? (Cause people dont read magazines nowadays)

  by Joliette in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking about mormons .

  (they have a channel on youtube) and how other religions seem to be moving with the times, while jw's are still stuck on going door to door witnessing, street corner (while people are trying to get to work, not trying to be bothered with someone giving them a magazine about religion) passing out magazines, doing telephone witnessing, and letter writing.. most people dont even read magazines anymore (most people dont even have magazines subscriptions anymore) the majority of people are on the internet (or on their cell phones texting and chatting) on these websites (ex: facebook, twitter, youtube, etc).

  if the message is so urgent, lifesaving, and life altering, why wont the watchtower 'get with times' sort of speak.
