  I empathize with you. My ex has gone back in and is trying to take my daughter back as well. So I am putting up resistance. Even though we are getting divorced, largely because of the JWs, it still hurt to be told yesterday that I am being controlled by Satan and am a puppet in his hands doing his work. I can only imagine how it would feel to hear that kind of thing in one's own home.

  The JWs believe that the Bible is some cohesive book. They believe that what is said in one place is backed up in another. That creates a ton of confusion for these people and a lot of debate which can never be conclusively resolved.

  studies in the scripture

  by candidlynuts in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been reading some of the old jw books that are available on google books.. this has probably been shown before but i just seen it and thought i'd share.. .

  this is pages 7 and 8 of studies in the scriptures volume 1.. i think anyone who is working towards baptism as a jw should have to read these older texts..just so they can recognize.

  centuries of education supression and focus on sales.

  You are so right about reading that Old stuff first. What a difference that would make for so many people. Those who do not understand histoy are often condemned to repeat it.

  I know how this is. They all say the same thing. Just wait that they find out your views. Then they won't want you anywhere near the Hall.

  I have in my hands "Report on Everlasting Good News" June-Sep 63

  by jgnat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the full cover reads, "report on 'everlasting good news' assembly of jehovah's witnesses around the world june 30-september 8, 1963", 192 pages.. it appears to be a report on each of the conventions that were held around the world at that time.

  a little wordy for modern taste, but there's lots of neato pictures.. hubby is borrowing it from a friend.

  is this document available elsewhere or as a scan?

  My parents used to have that. When they lost their house it disappeared. A scan would be nice for old times sake.

  New Light

  by jefferywhat in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i swear more new light is available here than in the corridors of the wts.

  in leviticus the israelites are instructed not to eat things strangled or already dead, but if they do, they are only unclean, not stoned to death.

  so why has it been upgraded by the wts to be this unforgivable sin?

  This matter was another nail in the JW coffin for me. I recommend if you haven't already read it Ray Franz's In Search of Christian Freedom. It touches on the matter of the animal's being sold to non-Jews. That clearly shows that the monetary value of the animal was still important. It could not therefore have been the cardinal sin that WT claims it to be.
