  the one i just made is about how the wbts falsifies it's own history and past writings.

  i have put scans up to make comparisons of their lies.

  i'm going to be adding a lot more on there so come by and check it out time to time and say hi.

  Were You Ever An "Elder Lover"?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  it's amazing when i think back as to how publishers viewed the "glorious ones".

  you were viewed with an esteem that you would never have gotten, had an announcement not been made.

  one week your a helper, a ministerial servant, taking orders.

  "Elder Lover?" - no. On the other hand, as an elder I had plenty of ass-kissing, although, I was not looking for it.

  WT last week 'This Generation"

  by bobld in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have a question for leolaia.you did an excellent review of last weeks wt study article i appreciated it q13/14.

  in the paragragh ""as a class,these anointed ones make up the modern-day "generation" of comtemporaries that will not pass away "until all these things occur" "" see footnote.. my question...if the anointed.ie 144,000 make up a generation of comtemporaries.

  would they not be part of a generation say in the 1st century,the 5th century,10th century.15th century 18th century,19th century(1914) providing the proper food at the proper time.if that is so than how can the gb say this generation(anointed ones)will not pass away and that we are living "in the conclusion of the system of things"?

  I believe this generation change was done to cover the difficulty they were getting into with the 1935 cut-off date, whereby anyone added after that date would be replacements for unfaithful “anointed.” This change, therefore, allows additional new ones to the 14400 roster, since the complete number of “anointed” is added progressively until the great tribulation. Otherwise, they would have to admit that tens of thousands of “anointed” were unfaithful from 1935 onward to justify all the new memorial partakers each year. Finally, by attaching the generation to the “anointed” as a class, they justify the authority of the “anointed” (as represented by the mystical “slave class” and GB), because all the new GB members were born after 1935!

  CONFIRMED Book Study amalgamated with the TMS and SM

  old timers on the board may remember that i was the first to mention the november 06 blood insert in the km.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/121104/1.ashx.

  the same very, very reliable source has confirmed that the book study will be amalgamated with the tms and sm.. this same source recently had a long and private conversation with a gb member.

  I would be very surprised if they did this, but nothing would shock me now. They have follows that go to the KH with the same addiction of people on a heroin fix! Since the “book study” attendance is on a decline, I suppose this would be an easy way to deal with this problem. Therefore, the “service meeting” could be reduced to 10 minutes, and the “book study” will be, let’s say, 35 minutes. This would be my guess. Of course, nothing is lost since all prophesies have their “grand fulfillment” in 1918-1919!

  Another egregious mistranslation in the NWT

  by sir82 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  oh the fun you can have with an interlinear.... 1 corinthians 7:36:38 in the new world translation:.

  "but if anyone thinks he is behaving improperly toward his virginity, if that is past the bloom of youth, and this is the way it should take place, let him do what he wants; he does not sin.

  let them marry.

  It is very interesting to read a number of translations of this passage. Each one is a little different and some stranger than the NWT. One thing we should keep in mind is that marriages (for young couples) were mostly prearranged. In addition, the culture was far different from ours, and women needed to marry for their own prosperity and welfare. In any case, we need to keep in mind that the whole subject matter is Paul’s “opinion” as he frequently states (see 1 Cor. 7:26, 7:40).

  College problems for daughter

  by Stopthem in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i need electronic copies of anything in the watchtower or anything else speaking against college and higher education, preferably from the october 15 2005 wt and onward.

  my bright, intelligent 17-year-old daughter just informed me that she's decided against going to college because of all the garbage her kingdumb hall has told her.

  her mother started up going to jw about 4 years ago, and i guess i wasn't watching what they were doing to my daughter closely enough (but then, they don't want you to).

  Stopthem,

  Welcome to JWD!

  Your situation with your daughter is going to be difficult to deal with and I’m not sure what to tell you, however, here are some suggestions:

  (1) Ask your daughter if she realizes that the policy about college has changed back to an earlier period. About 15 (circa) years ago they relaxed their stand on higher education and much of the literature for a period of about 10 years said it was a conscience matter! Then with the new “governing body” members came a recent return to the hardliner stand. So which is the correct position? The current hardliner stand or the previous one of a few years ago that said it was a conscience matter?
  (2) Is a person “sinning” if they seek higher education? If not, then would it then be a conscience matter to attend college? ( JW’s “disfellowship” those that practice “sin!” Therefore, can a person be “disfellowshiped” or “publicly reproved” for attending college? The answer is a flat NO!)
  (3) Is your daughter planning to “pioneer” after graduation from High School? Many youths really don’t want to do that either! Yet, that is what they want youths to do!

  Wish you the best!

  Hello everybody

  2. friends

  hi everybody, my name is julie, and this is my first post.. i'm a third generation jw, or at least i was until a two weeks ago, when i was announced as no longer a jw.

  i'm really happy about that, ecstatic in fact, although i'd been a jw all my life, and i'm 37 now.

  i could have disassociated like my friends, but i couldn't be bothered to play their chikdish game, so i let them do it for me.

  Welcome JulieM! Who knows what got you kicked-out. The sad part is that they could have fabricated everything and painted you in an ugly picture, and created an entire fiction! Have you tried to keep some kind of spirituality? I’m just a little curious.

  Welcome to this board!
