The book "What the Bible really teaches"
by TheListener in.
i've got my copies and reviewed them, like many others here, but i didn't see any references to the faithfula and discreet slave.
did i miss the reference or is it really not covered in the publication?.

The 1914 Doctrine and The Threat of the Egibi Business Tablets
by VM44 incould the watchtower and the jehovah's witnesses survive the discarding of their 1914 doctrine?
the doctrine that in 1914 the end of the gentile times took place, jesus took up rule in heaven.
for some reason the jws think the outbreak of world war i in 1914 is proof their prophetic calculations were correct.

Arrival vs Coming
by ackack inlooking at the nwt, i notice that matt 24:46 uses the word "arrival".
but in vs 44 where it says you wouldn't know the day or hour, it uses "coming".. this is the same greek word though.
obviously this is an attempt to seperate these two verses, to make them seem like two seperate events.. doesn't this blow away the fds concept?

the society is "encouraging" chinese converts to go back to china to preach
by in a new york bethel minute inmy mother told me this at dinner tonite.
has anyone else heard of this?
she didn't know if the work was still under ban there, and neither do i. but either way it's pretty stupid.

My story of abuse and disappointment.
by ackack ini was raised in as a jw, and got batpz at 16. i started pioneer at 18 and got married when i was 21. i was made an ms at 22, and was soon giving many parts.. my brother who was also a pioneer, eventually stopped, even stopped going to meetings.
he placed a doubt in my mind about 607. he simply told me to look at the kingdom come book appendix.. i looked at the material and was ablt to rationalize it in my mind as secular vs. biblical chronology (which is a gross oversimplification).
as well, i knew some things being done within the orginization didn't sit very well with me.

Seventy Years: Jeremiah 25:12 vs Zechariah 1:12
by ithinkisee inthe scripture in jeremiah below clearly says the 70 years would end when babylon was conquered.
yet the scripture in zechariah below (written circa 517/518) says that they were still in the seventy years period at that time.. is there a way to reconcile these two scrips?.
*** rbi8 jeremiah 25:12-14 ***.

The Unwritten JW Law
by Fe2O3Girl init is clear that there is no scriptural basis for disapproving of facial hair, coloured shirts or women wearing trousers at meetings or while preaching.
some of these rules seem to be regionally variable, but i think the rules on women's clothing are the same everywhere.. my question is - has there ever been any specific comments on any of these type of rules in any watchtower publication, ever?
and if not, how do we all know the rules?.
