37JW kids who are currently in college LOVED the convention drama!
by urbanized inhere's a transcript of a post about the 2005 godly obedience convention (which i read about on this board and seemed to highlight a drama in which a biblical story was highly distorted in order to discourage higher education) from a jw youth group on www.myspace.com.

Unbled Meat
by lowly one innote: the forth coming information is not intended to command or make a decesion in a conscience type matter but to present the information from another perspective.
if anybody wants a pointed up version with pictures, it will cost you literally $1000.s of us dollars inadvance.. .
genesis 9:4 only flesh with its soul its blood- you must not eatit is the blood that makes atonementas for any soul that eats a body [already] dead or something torn by a wild beast leviticus 17:11,15 .

Was Jesus PERFECT in his human form?
by sinis ini know most christians say that he was.
however, i find it very intriguing that paul says in: romans 3:23 - "for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of god" and again in romans 6:23 - "for the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of god [is] eternal life through jesus christ our lord.
" so was jesus an imperfect individual on earth and only through his offering up his body/blood by being faithful to the end was his offering deemed pure?

Another 607 / 587 BCE question, How do JW's fix the 20 years ??
by run dont walk inok, since all the evidence and people/scholars etc, all agree that jerusalem was destroyed in 587/586 bce and not 607 bce.
how do the jw's get the extra 20 years, i understand the 2520 years and going back from 1914. but alot of the proof goes by adding up the kings reigns, and it gets you to the 587/586 date, do jw's simply add on a few years for each king, or is their a mystery king that ruled for 20 years that only they know about.. hhhhhhmmmmmmm.
hope my question makes sense.

Source of Flood Waters
by VM44 ini do not have access right now to the watchtower cd library, could someone check and tell me what the watchotwer now says is the source for the great flood waters?.
do they still believe the theory of isaac vail that the waters came from above and that there was a water canopy in orbit about the earth?
or does the watchtower now say that the canopy was a vapor layer, not in orbit, but a simply above the atmosphere?.

My take on certain doctrines...
by sinis in1) i firmly believe from my studies/research that the 144,000 is a figurative number and no one but jehovah knows the exact number of those who will be rulers in his kingdom.
i do not know why the wts picks and chooses the literal and figurative numbers in revelation.
makes no sense to me.

How to tell a close friend...
by sinis inwell, after much prayerful thought and earnest research i have come to the conclusion that the wts/jw's are just another religion.
for me it was not only the un but also all of the doctrine surrounding 1914. thus if 1914 is wrong than there is no "faithful and discrete slave", no "class" distinctions, etc.
i'm not going to turn into a jw basher as some do when they leave - to each his own.
