  How to prove the Watchtower wrong with their own recent literature (May 15th, 2014)

  by Zana in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is very good, at least it will be in a few years.

  sorry if it's been posted here before already.. it's in the watchtower magazine may 15th, 2014, last page: from our archives: they talk about a public speech held in sao paolo in 1923 where they also distributed the brochure "millions who now live will never die" (pictured in the magazine!).

  a quick calculation: 1923 -> 2014, how many people in the world now are 90 years old or more?

  2. friends

  the whole article makes me ill with its worse than average mind control.. i was going to only include one quote but there are so many doozies that i will post what i feel to be the worst.. from paragraph 6.

  "gods organization survives and flourishes on earth because the people who are part of it have his approval.".

  the great tribulation has been "so close" for over 120 years of wt history.

  Birthday celebration/participation

  by Zana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my wife is considering to let our kids participate, maybe even celebrate their own birthdays.

  she says what can be so bad about just giving a little kid (who doesn't yet understand the bible) a day full of joy and happiness?

  she herself actually delayed her own baptism as a teenager in order to celebrate one more birthday.

  1. social
  2. family

  my wife and i have two wonderful children aged 1 and 3. i was raised as a lutheran but stopped believing in my late teen years.

  my wife is what i would call a liberal jw (yes, i believe such people exist .

  sooner or later our children will have questions about religion and the differences mom and dad show towards it.

  How help my JW-fiancée with her trouble with some JW-family-members?

  by Zana in

  1. social
  2. family

  i am 29 years old, not a jw (never been one, never ever gonna be one), but i am engaged to one (27 years old) and we have marriage-plans for the end of this year.

  we are getting along more than great, no real troubles about this religious topic in our relationship (so no need to write me some of those run-and-hide-posts .

  and we are talking about her family: two sisters are quite dedicated jws, the mother is studying with them, the father died a few years ago and her 4 brothers don't care at all about the jws.

  there was a whole chapter on jws and the issue of blood.

  ok, i'm new here, so please be gentle.

  so please bear with me and share any and all advice you have, even if you think it's not what i want to hear.

  CoC in Spanish - Any idea where I can find it?

  by Zana in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am trying to find raymond's "crisis de consciencia" anywhere but failed miserably so far.

  i know it does exist, but i guess it's not being printed anymore, right?

  amazon.com does not have it any more, neither in the us nor in europe, and the only available used copy in the internet i got hold of a month ago, obviously got lost during shipping.
