  Question for Christians Re: Cures

  by serotonin_wraith in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is actually a sincere question (believe it or not!).

  i've mentioned how christians may not look to find cures for things such as cancer, because they believe jesus will sort it all out when he returns sometime soon.

  there were some who disagreed and said cures can still be sought.. but i thought about that.

  Kingdom Ministry for all to see

  by alanv in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just a thought, but how about if somebody who is still fading get's a scan of the kingdom ministry every now and then.

  this will enable many of us with families in the borg to know what our loved ones are currently being told to do.

  this in turn may enable us to expose the gross manipulation that is carried out by the society.

  1914, Generation doctrine belief change!

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had the dubious pleasure of explaining the 1914 generation change doctrine to a relative who has been a jw for all of his life the other day.

  he didn't even know that there had been a generation change and that the wt was no longer claiming that those alive in 1914 would still be alive when armageddon struck.. however, he said he would only believe me if i could tell him the exact date of the watchtower that explained this change.. though i know it is 1995, i do not know the exact date/issue and he refused to research it claiming it would show lack of faith on his part if he questioned his beliefs....but he said he would look it up if i told him which issue it was.. so, please, could anyone direct me to the exact issue in which this world shattering event was revealed?.

  i remember, many jws, especially elderly ones being shocked at this revelation, but obviously this particular relative was not concentrating at the time!!

  i posted this on another board and got zero replies:.

  but i was curious.

  when i was in the wts, we were instructed to only allow a person to "study" the wts bible-aids for a period of six months.

  There are two classes of annointed - why?

  by cultswatter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  before the may 1st qfr there was 4 classes of annointed.and these were: 1. the annointed from 1935 (governing body members)2. the annointed from 1935 (non governing body members)3. the replacements since 1935 (governing body members)4 the replacements since 1935 (non governing body members) then the may 1st qfr did away with 1935( and naturally the 144,000 limit) and the replacements so only two classes now exist: 1. the annointed (governing body members )2. the annointed (non governing body members) there is still something wrong with this.

  the annointed of the governing body are higher up on the power flow chart than the annointed jw church goers are.

  according to the bible this is wrong.the bible does not mention two heavenly callings of two separate classes.

  Quotes lawsuit

  by John Doe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you think the wtbts made a mistake in suing the quotes site owner?

  i think doing such was a huge mistake on their part, and here's why:.

  1) they were not able to bury the information.

  Has anyone the attendance figures for 2007 memorial?

  by alanv in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know the memorial figures are not a very good indicater of how the borg are doing but the figures can certainly be compared with last years.i guess there won't be a worldwide figure yet but possably there will be totals for some individual countries available.

  i am from the u.k. and the totals will probably have been published in the kingdom ministry by now.

  2. experiences

  hi everybody, i am a newbe to the forum and have been faded from the borg for about 15 years.

  i just wanted to say how good it is to read all your personal experiences about how you have been able to get free from the wts.

  i have just read the post from jwfacts.
