Theya are forever saying they are just ordinary witnesses and yet they travel thouisands of miles just to give a keynote address, just like a pop star on x fator will fly thousands of miles to appear on the show. Witnesses will flock to any assembly hall where they are appearing.

"Peace and Security"!!!! JW.ORGs best and last chance for fulfilment.
by scotoma inin the old revelation book there was a section on the cry "peace and security.. "14 in recent years, politicians have used the phrase peace and security to describe various.
human schemes.
or was paul referring only to a specific event of such dramatic proportions.

Throughout history there have been times when there is relative peace and security. If your scenario happens it is good but does nothing for other parts of the world that have their own troubles. Religion is still extremenly strong in some countries. Muslims are a good example, where young men line up to be suicide bombers to support their religious beliefs.

I mentioned the Candace Conti court case in a letter to a JW
by Xanthippe inso as i've written about this before.
an old friend of my late husband's suddenly contacted me out of the blue after over twenty years of shunning and we started writing.
i didn't know why she contacted me but i thought perhaps something had happened in the organisation to make her think, which is why i came on this forum in the first place.. she kept talking about her religion and basically 'witnessing' to me and i replied with just how long are we supposed to wait when it's been nearly 100 years since christ came into his kingdom.

I stayed with the org years longer than I should have because of the great social life I was having. But in the end I could no longer live a lie.

QUESTIONS TO ASK JWs
by NAVYTOWN ina good question to ask a jw is: do you follow what the bible teaches or what the watchtower organization says?
then ask them to give you just one example of a doctrine in the bible, that they have ascertained through their individual bible study, that is different from what is taught by the watchtower.
of course, they cannot honestly answer without admitting that they do in fact follow the watchtower and not the actual bible.

Most would say that it was Jehovah's Witnesses that got them interested in the bible, so any doctine found in the bible is taught by them.

Need help from JW History Buffs
by ILoveTTATT ini need help with writing an article regarding vaccinations, organ transplants, and blood transfusions.. i am doing my research using limited amounts of non-wt sources and mostly just the actual wt literature.. what i am having a hard time understanding is:.
most of the articles in the golden age, at least at the beginning of the anti-vaccination stance, are actually written by contributors.
since there are very pro-vaccination articles and then lots of anti-vaccination articles, how can i determine the actual wt viewpoint on vaccinations?.
-

The Golden Age 1931, February 4 issue devoted 10 pages to why vaccinations were not for Christians. The index page to the 1931 article claimed this as the viewpoint of the Creator.
Does not get much clearer than that..

When engaging in public witnessing using a table or a
cart, publishers should not display Bibles. However, they may
have Bibles available to offer to individuals who request one
or who demonstrate sincere interest in the truth.What's all that about?

Watchtower has plenty of baptisms. Trouble is as they come in the front door two thirds of the rest go out the back door lol

Sneaky introduction advice from Dec KM
by Splash init says on page 1 par.
3 in the q&a item.
"where people belong to a non-christian religion, or to no religion at all, it may be better to mention the bible on a return visit, rather than at the outset.

Ray Franz the ex governing body member said that when missionaries were sent to new lands who had several different religions, they should start of with the 'Christian religions', presumabily because it would be a lot easier to convert them.
