If the Watchtower truly collapsed, how would you deal with your JW relatives?
by nicolaou inimagine the best case scenario.
the watchtower society implodes from within even making final printed admissions that it is voluntarily dismantling it's mission and legally dissolving the corporations.
oh happy day!

Apart from what I call 'old timers' who came in of their own volition in the 50's, 60's and 70's I don't think it would be that much of a big deal to most Witnesses. They would quickly find they've now got more time on their hands to carry on socialising with each other. 'Ah well, it wasn't the Truth after all. Where to Saturday night?'
The 'old timers' would be in denial and consider it a sign that Armageddon was even more imminent and be beyond help in most cases.

Christian Arrogance
by startingover inmaybe arrogance is not the right word but i can find no other that describes what i see.
the idea expressed by some christians on this board is that somehow god specifically chose them.
i'll quote perry as an example as his post inspired this thread.

Surely when people say 'Jesus died for me' they actually mean 'God killed Jesus for me' or 'God allowed Jesus to be sacrificed/killed for me'.
Am I missing something?

Bible God & Human Sacrifice
by ThomasCovenant inbig j sent his son little j to earth as a 'human' sacrifice.
the fact that little j was allegegdly about 30 years of age when the deed was done shouldn't take away from the my concept of christianity being based on child sacrifice.. imagine the hullabaloo if jesus had been 7 years of age when he was nailed up.. there is a precedent of course for the whole 'i need a sacrificial child' thing .

Blood Transfusions 101 for JW's
by moshe inblood transfusions 101 for jw's-.
a blood transfusion will not save the life of a starving man = a blood transfusion is not food = a blood transfusion does not violate the ot law given by god to the jews to, "not eat blood" and that was later reiterated by the jewish christians to the gentile christians = the watchtower no-blood transfusion doctrine is a manmade abomination that kills innocent people = the watchtower society is guilty of promoting manslaughter.. .

Bearing in mind that Christianity is based primarily on child sacrifice (Big J puts Little J on earth for one reason)
you'd think they would be a little bit more embarrassed.
People are people, some are arrogant some are not. A lot of religious people are arrogant. They have to be because after all they have a direct line to the supreme being in the whole universe. Not a lot of people have that. I certainly don't. If I did, I'd think I was the best thing since sliced bread.

Just spotted this on Youtube.
On Google Type in 'Christianity is '
or 'Judaism is '
or 'Hinduism is '
then type in
'Islam is '
Why the difference in the search bar?
I imagine it is fear of violent reprisals from extremely religious believers of the Mohammed faith

by ThomasCovenant into the best of my knowledge if.
10857 is the latest number for memorial partakers then you have to go back to 1967 to get a higher number, 10981.. i wonder why they they don't print this in the january magazine anymore.. will they omit it even from the printed yearbook and only leave it as an mp3 online download?.
