67Who really is Babylon the Great?
by sinis ini know the wts says it is false religion, but if you read daniel, jeremiah, and revelation it shows that babylon the great is actually ruling over the ten kings.
how can "false religion" rule over the kings of the earth?
it seems that babylon the great might actually portray a real government.

Did I Miss Something?
by MerryMagdalene inare there any of you who actually experienced this?
(from awake 5/22/94 young people ask--what if i fall for an unbeliever?).
think of how much your religious values have shaped your emotionsthe joy you experience at christian meetings, the thrill of sharing the bibles message with a receptive person, the pleasure of studying the bible itself.

if you study for the sake of studying it will never mean anything to you,you have to want to understand his word,you have to have a sincere desire to help others,these things can not come from study but motivation to want something better than satans world

Is The watchtower Dishonest When It comes to the Trinity?
by RevFrank inin 1989 the watchtower society published a 32-page booklet entitled "should you believe in the trinity?
" the aim of this publication was to discredit the christian doctrine of the triune nature of god.
the method that the society used to accomplish this goal was to quote from a plethora of resources, both secular and religious, such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, books and historical literature written by individual authors.

Questions for JW in Bible studies
by Shazard inhere was thread which gave me this idea http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/108254/1.ashx .
is there some good "compilation" of good questions (not too much) to ask jw in bible studies with potential new jw to expose their "truth".
i know there are hundreds of questions, dozens of sites with different questions for jw, but i am thinking about specific questions to ask in presence of new student and their "teacher" to plant seeds of doubt in the student that there is something wrong with studies!

Were you ever ashamed of another JW?
by JH in.
in the field service, i was going door to door with an elder, and he couldn't stop spitting on the ground every now and then..... .
once at a ball park, i saw a 75 year old ms watching a ball game, and he took napkins to wipe his bench because it rained and it was wet, so he wipped his bench and threw all the napkins on the grass instead of walking to the garbage can about 30 feet away...
