That has been my point all along as well. But it seems inconceivable, apparently, to some.

"Watchtower" is a term from witchcraft NOT Scripture
by FuzzyPaul inhas anyone else ever noticed that there is no watchtower in scripture as part of any particular teaching but there is prominent use of watchtower in dungeons and dragons type games and forms of witchcraft including spells involving watchtower?
see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/watchtower_%28magic%29.
and msn search for watchtower alone & with magic spell or occult or witchcraft.. ct russell was a 33rd degree freemason ( illuminati) nutcase who read books by guys that measured the lengths of the halls in pyramids to foretell the future by.

Please "Study" With Jehovah's Witnesses, I beg you!
by AK - Jeff inif you are a former jw, or just one who is interested enough in the cult to spend time here on jwd, i emplore you to accept a 'bible study' with jehovah's witnesses when they next call and offer.
by so doing, and having of course a full knowledge of the doctrines and practices they employ, you have a special opportunity!
you can use the study for the following;.

Perfectly understandable intention. I however, have little intention of interfering with anyone's path. For myself, and others, the struggle to emerge from such a restrictive religion is much like a birthing process.
If you find a butterfly cocoon and you try, with the best of intention, to help the little lady out of her cocoon by prying it open, she will be unable to fly. Her lone struggle against the cocoon to free herself strengthens her so that when she has done so, her wings will spread to their full breadth and she will then be as free as destiny has intended her to be.
Were a Witness to visit my door, I would likely simply drop a few words into their ears, that they may more closely examine any doubts they may already have.
I can recall that one thing which hit me hardest was the fact that "the world" was not so nearly as full of misery as the WBTS taught me, that, in fact, there were many, many people that were much happier than I had ever been.

My dad and his family had been fringe Witnesses, but he'd not been anywhere near active in forever. My mom was... protestant? before she married my dad, but hadn't been to a church service to my knowledge in for-ev-er.
So after I was born, when I was one year old, an older Witness couple came to their door and started a study with them. This couple became sort of surrogate grandparents to me.
So, raised in, not exactly born in, though the distinction is insignificant. I was out not long after my 18th birthday, never baptised, but shunned nonetheless. YAY!

Words Jehovers Witnesses Pronounce wrong...
by vomit injehover being the most obvious.
why was there a group in every hall that pronounced some words like a bad english accent.
also why is it pretty universal, i.e.

That's funny. As part of my high school college credit English lit. course, we watched a documentary about all the different versions of English that people in Britain speak. It's at least as diverse as the English that Americans speak and in many cases, just as difficult to understand and just as "incorrect".
Language lives, people. And it is hubris to think one version of the language is any "better" than another.
edit: I'm not saying we should just be okay with mispronunciation. But I see no reason to down one region or country because some words are pronounced differently in them from how those same words are pronounced in other regions/countries.

by richard s. lindzennewsweek international"the current alarm rests on the false assumption not only that we live in a perfect world, temperaturewise, but also that our warming forecasts for the year 2040 are somehow more reliable than the weatherman's forecast for next week.".
