  Why call themselves "Christian"?

  by poppers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  never having been a jw i don't quite understand why they call themselves "christians".

  if jesus is not god and is not to be worshipped as such, but is something "lesser", then it doesn't make sense to think of themselves as christians.

  to claim to be christian, then, seems to me to make themselves hypocrites from the very beginning.

  What??? Why on earth does someone have to believe Jesus is God for them to be a Christian?? Your assumption of course is that only Trinitarians have the right to call themselves Christians. Poppycock.

  Paranoia vs. the Governing Body

  by parakeet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my more paranoiac moments, i wonder if the gb creates its myriad nitpicking rules in order to deliberately create a high turnover of jws.

  the advantage to doing this would be to ease the way for "new light" doctrine.

  the 1914 generation has passed; the generation after that is passing, and their memories are passing with them.

  2. friends

  today in his radio adress, bush said he hoped for isreal & lebenon states living next to each other in "peace and security".. the witnesses must be peeing in their pants!.

  i remember when reagan said those special words in the 80's.

  we all new the end was close!.

  A few JWs must be starting to wonder whether all the claims that modern-day Israel is having a part to play in the fulfillment of bible prophecy might be true after all.

  Time for a new Watch(man)

  by PopeOfEruke in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  honestly, how useless is the "watchman" class that the jw anointed are supposed to be?

  this so-called "watchman" is supposedly responsible for keeping a lookout and warning all of the faithful the end is coming.. but all they have down is raised false alarms and cried "wolf" for over 130 years!!

  "deliverance is near!!

  The more they cry wolf and no wolf appears the less the jaded, tired publishers can be bothered getting up off their asses. Each new cry of wolf by the Society is another nail in their own coffin. Every new proclamation of Armageddons nearness is just more fodder for the inevitable disillusionment and cynicism. So keep on crying wolf GB!

  The Changing Watchtower?

  by Morocco in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just want to go over a couple of topics on my mind and see what you guys all think about it.

  i've noticed recently the new change in the blood doctrine and, to me, i interpreted this as the society's way of finally acknowledging the fact that the teaching is too difficult to maintain.

  this is like putting a small crack in a submarine so that the water doesn't come rushing in causing people to panic, but with time the ship will still sink.

  The Society will sit tight until 2014. I believe they are putting all their chips on the end coming by then. When the end doesn't come in 2014 it will signal the end for the current paradigm because declining new publishers numbers will steadily worsen after this date. We will then see either of two things happen - a new date pulled out, eg, 2034, or a softening of policy and doctrine.
