  QUESTIONS FROM READERS----CHECK THIS OUT!

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  seeing as i have the wt in front of me today, i thought you'd enjoy the questions from readers from the february 15, 2007 article on the evils and pagan origins on toasting or clinking of glasses.

  the article specifically mentions how not everything today that was of pagan origin is necessarily bad, and sites "wedding rings" as being of pagan origin, but it's not viewed like that now.

  then, incredibly, they go on and say that while toasting might not be considered a religious practice today, there's "good reason" for christians to avoid it------without giving any valid reason why other than: do as we say:.

  I think that some french's JW teacher will ask themselves some question after reading this article. In a special meeting in France in 1997, only for JW working with children, including all the JW teacher, Guy Canonici, himself, one of the head of the JW in France, said that toasting was a matter of conscience.

  Golden Age Goodies

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  recently i had the pleasure to examine a stash of 1920s and 1930s golden age magazines, among the rarest of watchtower publications.

  i thought it would be a fun idea to have a thread in which i share with you some of the amazing, ridiculous, hilarious things contained therein.

  hence, this is the first post of a series of excerpts, scans, etc.

  JWs in world politics: Jehovah's Witnesses Are "Politically" Neutral - NOT

  by Dogpatch in

  http://www.osce.org/odihr/16533.html.

  so, you say that jehovah's witnesses aren't "political" or take any part in the affairs of the world?

  http://www.osce.org/documents/odihr/2006/10/21654_en.pdf what does the watchtower say about "political" involvement?

  If you tape "jehovah" in the search engine of the OSCE website , you will see that JW were here to complain about religious politic of Russia, Kazhakstan and France.

  Look at their statement for France for example.

  "The Calendar of Jehovah God"

  by cabasilas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1935 saw the brief attempt by jehovah's witnesses to adopt a new calendar freed from any connection to other religions or with names derived from paganism.

  the 1935 yearbook published without much explanation a chart showing "jehovah's year of ransom 1903.

  " the yearbook said: "a series of articles in explanation will appear in the golden age.

  KHAA, reasn Watchtower is afraid of Kingdom hall related lawsuits (mishaps)

  by DaCheech in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  unlike any other business or homeowener in which we go out and buy insurance, the watchtower self insures itself.. each year all congregations sent a check through the wefts system for $4.5 for each publishers they have.

  this money goes to the watchtower, and is kept as khaa or kingdom hall assistance arrangement.

  any time fire, vandalism, or mishaps happen the kingdom hall supposedly sends the bill to the watchtower, and they will help with this bill (of course all labor will be done pro bono through regional building committe).

  Now it would be interested to see if a communication was made in the Golden Age or elsewhere stating that "you must not use this theocratic calendar." after the confrontation of Woodworth by Rutherford.
