  Quotes from "Clothe Yoursleves With The New Personality" Assembly

  by Inquisitor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "i use my time wisely by not spending it with my worldly friends..." and so you chose to spend it with people who devised rules that shut up their female members (with the exception of elders' wives who are skilled manipulators of men and power), ban moustaches and beards (for men too) and frown on higher education.

  wise indeed!.

  "we cannot find such joy (construction of new kingdom halls) in the jobs that we do in the world..." never had a fat paycheck waved in your face, have you?.

  Re: Baptism vows - Complications?

  by Inquisitor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been reading the posts regarding the not-so-recent change in baptismal vows.

  apparently, unlike previous years where allegience is pledged to jehovah and christ, the current vows makes baptismal candidates formally associate themselves with the wts.

  my question is: can we forsee any possible complications arising out of this?

  quick question, what book are the witnesses studying at their book study these days?

  2. beliefs

  does anyone here remember how we used to have resolutions at assemblies/conventions?

  the speaker would crescendo into a lits of resolutions to which the audience would readily (sleepily?

  ) say "aye!

  Ouija Board

  by Inquisitor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  has anyone ever played with an ouija board?.

  is the game as dangerous as has been suggested by the wts all this while?

  wts seems confident that all inexplicable events associated with the game comes from a supernatural source, and not a psychological one.

  New Releases.. losing pzazz??

  by Inquisitor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  has anyone else noticed that in recent years the new releases have less 'chunky' content?

  a book of maps, a children's book about jesus (?

  ), and this year's book which summarises main witness teachings (from what i gathered anyway, i haven't seen it yet).. the language is simpler, the message trimmed up nicely.. i wonder why.

  Re: Witness Youth and Education

  by Inquisitor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the wts would prefer to believe they possess a balanced view of education.

  "no hard-and-fast rules should be made either for or against extra education" w92 11/1 p.15

  it has even acknowledged that college education may be necessary in certain job markets today.
