Big Love versus Big Armageddon
by streets76 ini've been enjoying "big love" on hbo for the past few years.
(for those who don't know, it's about the life of a mormon polygamist and his family in utah, usa.).
seems like the mormons, even without officially sanctioning polygamy, can go toe-to-toe with the jws in the wackiness department.. so why does mormonism, as a religious movement, seem more acceptable (than jws) to the mainstream, and thus more successful?.

By the way, "Big Armageddon" would be a great name for a JW series on HBO. The cast of characters and script lines could come from right here on JWD. It would write itself.

Any thoughts?

Watchtower claims Armageddon will come when US is no longer a World Power
by Alfred injust when i thought the wash towel was done trying to interpret the book of revelations, i came across this from paragraph 16 on the last page of the march 15, 2011 watchtower.... .
the urgency of the times we live in is underscored when we consider the inspired prophecy at revelation 17:10. the seventh king, the anglo-american world power, has come into existence.
concerning it we read: when he [the seventh world power] does arrive he must remain a short while.

Witnesses involved in Multi Level Marketing
by tresdecu ini just ran across an old aquaintance who is a former missionary (along with his wife) - although i think they just went to serve in s.america on their own, not gilead endorsed.
they live in the las vegas area now, and are promoting a new mlm company called 'kaching kaching' (look for it on youtube, pretty cheesy) wactching them on these videos saying things like "do you want a piece of the multi billion dollar pie???
" just blows me away.. i can't help but wonder if they are even still active.

If The Watchtower discourages Greek language study, why did they publish the KIT?
by VM44 inif the watchtower discourages the study of biblical languages, then why did they publish twice, in 1969 and 1985. the kingdom interlinear translation of the greek scriptures?.
would this not actually encourage the study of the greek language?.

As Terry pointed out, you can't really study the bible, per se, you can only really study the history of the bible.

DO WE NEED TO BELONG TO A RELIGION TO BE A "SPIRITUAL PERSON"?
by foodalls ini have been noticing people posting on this site have a "deep" spiritual desire, but don't quite know how to find it, or where it is at.. this beg the question...do we need to be involved with a "religion" to find "spirituality"...especially an "organized religion"???.
anyone that has there eyes open can see that all religion is loosing their influence over people around the world...i spent 47 years thinking i was in the "truth" being one of jw's!
and now that i am out...and looking back from the "outside"...all i see is that its just another religion...filled with all the "control-grid" stuff found in any other group.. worse yet...they are worse than other religions...so it begs an answer..is there such thing as a "true religion"???.

Maybe I'm just a freak of nature, but I don't have a spirit. I am made of blood, bones, guts, chemicals, DNA. Buying into the concept of religion and sky-daddies, etc, is the only way to be "spiritual." Why would anyone want to demean themselves with that?

Call me paranoid, but its possible that this 30 hour initiative is a weeding out process....a cull if you will...
by miseryloveselders inwe've discussed a few potential reasons why the wt is promoting april 2011 as a month of special activity.
reasons include manipulating statistics, and trying to provide some kind of spark to increasingly apathetic and discouraged congregations.
i'm sure there are others i'm missing too, feel free to include those.

First single: around 1970, "Amos Moses" by Jerry Reed. Loved that guitar lick.
First LP: also around 1970, "Johnny Cash Live at San Quentin"
By the next year, I had moved on to rock and roll, especially Three Dog Night.
