when we see news reports of jehovahs witnesses who are reported to have done something bad, what do we think?
sometimes people ridicule us for that.
obey and become his special property, disobey and be rejected.
The first people who were Jehovah’s witnesses were Adam and EveOh dear god, that's stupider than any comment made at the ASSembly on the weekend!! Adam and Eve were not Jehovah's Witnesses because there was no freaking RELIGION around then
Was I referring to a religion? Not particularly. I was referring people who were in a relationship with God. Which they were. Since Jehovah's Witnesses today are in a relationship with God, it is a good way to refer to that.
do you think that any dub would ever go into field service if they didnt have to record hours of service?
i dont believe it at all.
in fact, you could see that everything they do is because there is some sort of record keeping behind it, i.e.
Does it matter why? Jesus just requires that his followers do the will of God.
Of course doing it out of love always works better.
my letter to the editor to the davenport times just came out on june 30, 2005. the spokane spokesman review is interested in doing a story about shunning as a result of reading my letter.
the religion reporter wants to start working on it wednesday.
does anybody want to tell their story of odd things they have been shunned for by jw's.
Here is my story.
I shun you.

Mrs Jones, do you have a problem with the Bible?

A troll is not somebody with a different opinion. Remember we are not the sane as the DUBS that we can only hear one thing...
Whoa!! Back the truck up!!!
You say that JWs only hear one thing and you are not like them? Then why is it when someone comes on here or other similar sites and does not say something negative about JWs and the Watchtower, then you pounce on that person with name calling and expletives?
It seems that you only want to hear one thing, anything antiJW.

the bible is just a collection of Hebrew and Christian myth. You may as well look to Homer's Odyessy for advice.
Then who should care about the 3000 who died at the trade center. They would have eventually died as the animals do with nothing else to look forward to.
You live in a pretty glum world. No hope.
is this issue of the watchtower being part of the un department of public information of any significance?.
at the district conventions of jehovahs witnesses there are flags of the united states and other sovereign government such as states or other countries hanging from the buildings.
the governing body and the watchtower society rent buildings which become the equivalent of kingdom halls for the weekend.
Is this issue of the Watchtower being part of the UN Department of Public Information of any significance?
At the District conventions of Jehovah’s Witnesses there are flags of the United States and other sovereign government such as states or other countries hanging from the buildings. The Governing Body and the Watchtower Society rent buildings which become the equivalent of Kingdom Halls for the weekend. Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t find a problem with those flags hanging there. Why is that? To us, they are simply pieces of cloth. Nothing more. We don't honor or look to them beyond that.
Why would it be any different for this UN DPI thing? The Department of Public Information is simply that - A place to get information. Nothing more. It has nothing to do with support anymore than the flags hanging at the conventions mean that everyone is pledging allegiance to those flags. Because there are forms that needed to fill out does not change those prior statements.
The next principle to consider is: How does the actions of an individual working at the Watchtower Society affect the organization? It doesn’t. The organization is lead by Jesus Christ through the Governing Body. I don’t recall the governing body having a vote on the matter and then publishing the matter to the organization. So…
As I said, It is a non-issue.

how is that possible, jw are a denomination, and according to even the wt it was not until 1930 did jw change their name from bible students to jw, I have never seen anyone in the bible who is called a Jehovah's Witness-
No, a $10 bill is a denomination. 2) a value or size of a series of values or sizes (as of money)
4) a religious organization uniting local congregations in a single legal and administrative body
Well, weren't Adam and Eve in their pure worship a religious organization though there were no congregations yet?
There was still that single legal body as in Jehovah.
until 1930 did jw change their name from bible students to jw, I have never seen anyone in the bible who is called a Jehovah's WitnessI wasn't referrring to a name was I? No I was referring to God's people. Of course the people at the end of the 1000 years won't need to be witnesses as the kingdom will be that which witnesses. But they will be Witnesses in that they are part of the Christian brotherhood. Sure Moses was one of Jehovah's Witnesses. In the resurrection he will be my brother in the faith like any other is now.

the same concessions for people in other religions as you do for Jehovah's Witnesses.
I wasn't aware that I was making consessions.
I was explaining that nowhere in the scriptures will you find that God's people are expected to do no wrong. They are given choices. Some choose bad and others choose good. But none of that invalidates Jehovah's will.
I said nothing about those who are not Jehovah's servants so where do you get the idea "for people in other religions".
Since the scriptures say that those in the great crowd that come from the tribulation wash their robes and make them white in the blood of the lame, and that the Lamb w ho is in the midst of the throne, will shepherd them, and will guide them to fountains of waters of life. And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes.” I don't see other religions in there. There are no concessions only admonition to do those things.
