  WT: Dumbing down the message; no intellectuals allowed

  by Hiddenwindow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  have you noticed that the most recent publications by the watch tower, and particularly the study articles of the watchtower magazine, contain less and less references to secular sources?

  there is not doubt that the society was always making efforts to provide us with a historical and quasi-intellectual perspective of the world.

  i am sure all of you can think of books by the watch tower that contained extensive information on history, biology, and even philosophy (insight, creation book, the bible -god's word or man's?

  The Alpha males in the JW religion

  by dawg in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we, as ex-jws should know this more than anyone, as the leaders of our old religion were usually the ones that towed the party line, which usually meant they were dumb enough to believe that nonsense.

  the smartest man i ever knew was a professor of mine, alexander kaufman... graduate of the jfk school at harvard, he taught john rawls philosophy and economics at uga.... .

  i used to laugh my ass off when he had visiting economic professors from places like princeton, yale, harvard...all the top schools; he'd hold an open debate forum where the greatest conservative minds in the world would debate their economic theories against his... i am still a friend of his and have enjoyed many a beer with his guests, who usually were his friends, the debating of these men was really something to behold.

  by Witness 007 in

  2. medical

  i have read a dozen different health books that come to this same conclusion.

  what is milk?

  mammal infants require milk from their own species to grow quickly and start solid food.

  Finally putting the new light all together

  by JimmyPage in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  okay maybe i'm a little slow but i'm finally beginning to understand how all the "new light" is tied together.

  this has all been prompted for me by my reading of the 1914 chapter in "crisis of conscience".

  see, the door to heaven which was previously closed in 1935 has been reopened.

  E-Watchman and JW Reform

  by insearchoftruth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have read some very interesting and thought provoking articles on the subject sites.

  having never been a jw, what is the feeling of a 'run of the mill' witness towards these sites sympathetic towards the general doctrines of the wts, but calling for some major reforms?.

  SCANNED ARTICLE ON BLOOD FRACTIONS 'WORKBOOK'

  by Mary in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i'm not sure if this has ever been posted, but here's the uh "workbook" that all jws are given regarding blood fractions.

  of course, the hypocrisy shines through as when it asks "are fractions also covered by the command to abstain from blood?

  we cannot say" and "your decisions should be your own and should not be based on someone else's conscience.

  Solid Non-Biblical Proof That Jesus Existed

  by White Dove in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have not heard of one single (non-shroud of turin) piece of evidence that jesus ever walked the earth.

  please give me non-biblical and non-shroud of turin evidence that has been found that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the jesus of the bible walked the earth.. is that too much to ask?

  the bible says it happened but gives no proof to support its statements.. the shroud of turin has not been established as proof of anything beyond a good wax and dye job.. .
