  Do you care about calling the Watchtower a false prophet?

  by drew sagan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  over and over again the argument is made that jehovah's witnesses and/or the watchtower society are a false prophet.

  arguments for the 'false prophet' label come as follows: .

  the watchtower has predicted the end of the world on certain dates and such things have never transpired.

  Do you want to know everything?

  by John Doe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  humans seem to have a need to make sense of and explain things.

  as such, religions and other unprovable ideas fill a needed gap in the human experience--that of the desire to know why we're here and where we came from.

  but, have you ever stopped and wondered if we are better off knowing everything?

  An ex-JW underground railroad system

  by Layla33 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been thinking about this since yesterday or maybe a little bit longer, but cognac's situation situation really struck me and so many others that are in a situation that seems not only like psychological torture, but where someone almost seems imprisoned against their will through the wts society, it seems to happen in marriages, but not always.. i am a big forensics person, so i was watching some mindless program on television about forensics or something like that (could have even been law & order) and they were trying to find a woman who had "disappeared" and what had actually happened was that a group of people who didn't really know each other, had this silent group who would pick someone up from one point to another, get them away from their abusive spouse/situation, and help them find a job and a place to stay.

  it took them at least three weeks to track the person down because each person really didn't know the other, they were just one check off point for another.. and i was thinking, couldn't we create a safe haven for those in those high pressured situations?

  i would be willing to help start it, financially support it, etc i am just in the planning, thought process stage, but i would love to have an aresnal of help from others, who could assist people that are trying to break free, start over, and all of that.. would anyone else be interested?

  WT to start download of Kool-Aid edition of WT soon.

  i reckon that the wt is going to go down the line of giving publishers their own password so they can download specific litterature from the web.

  the passwords will be doled out by the elders, to whom the bethell in each country will send them.

  (each one will identify a specific witless) .

  Could This Be The Watchtower's Endgame?

  suppose you had a business that didn't make money.

  you would try to make the thing more efficient and probably lay off.

  some workers to cut costs.

  Prediction: the new looong weeknite meeting will be trimmed

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the new version weeknite meeting combining the cbs, the tms and sm will be 1.45 hours long!.

  that's just wayyy too long.

  with the tendency for many talks to creep over time, it will be more like 2 hours of boring, prosaic, dry, dull, drivel on your bums on those cold, winter nights.

  Possible Gods

  by DT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm just trying to fill a logical hole.

  many people conclude that the existence of life or the structure of the universe demands that there be a god.

  i don't really agree with this, but i can sympathise with that viewpoint.
