  may be this can help (not only witnessing to witnesses)

  by Shazard in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  sometimes when some jw tries to "prove" you something from scripture, it is usefull to observe the question from oposite direction.

  for example, if jw tries to prove that word "proskuneo" towards jesus christ means only "homage" then ask, how it should be written if author of gospel would like to show somebody worshiping jesus christ (no matter what reason).

  if jw tries to prove that world was not created in 7 astronomical days, but in 7 "periods" each longing millions of years, then ask how it should be written in bible in case (for some mistical reason) if author of genesis would like to say that the world was created in 7 astronomical days, wat words or constructs then he should use!

  WTS vs Quotes: Requiem for a Research Web Site

  by Quotes in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  in compliance with the terms of a settlement agreement, my information and research web site, http://quotes.watchtower.ca, is now "dark".

  the domain "watchtower.ca" has been transferred to wts (i assume they will have it pointing to borg.org watchtower.org asap).

  my copies of the site have been destroyed, the files deleted, and my wt library cd has been destroyed, in accordance with the settlement agreement which will afford a "discontinuance" of their suit against me.

  Is there a contradiction with the wedding in Cana thing?

  by cheeseman in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've often read jesus couldn't have been in the wilderness and at this wedding at the same time, so what's going on here?.

  is there a case for a real contradiction?.

  or is it really just misunderstanding the scriptures?.

  Internet prophesy ???

  by wombat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i recall a wt publication about 40 years ago saying that a biblical prohesy of "a threat from the deep" or some such thing - possibly revelations - referred to nuclear missiles from submarines.

  i was amazed at such foresight.. has the wts ever found anything in biblical prophesy that refers to computers or the internet ?.

  sorry, i've been out of the loop for a long time but i enjoy reading of their funniness.

  Can someone explain the whole Armageddon/judgement thing to me??

  by Super_Becka in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been doing a lot of research lately about jws and their beliefs for various reasons, not the least of which is curiosity (don't worry, i'm not converting - i'm curious, not insane!!

  ), and i've come across a few things that don't make much sense to me.

  well, most of these things don't make sense to me, but some stand out more than others.. so, in my wanderings, i've seen lots about whether or not jws believe that they're the only ones who get to survive "armageddon" and live in "paradise earth" and such, and the general answer tends to be, "well, others will get the chance to be resurrected at "armageddon", too, if they're worthy", or something like that.
