If people are "weak", they are more inclined to get into this religion.
I fully agree!

The ability to critically think and my need to research anything for what it really is has kept me away. My wife on the other hand has been drawn in by the 'simplicity' of the way things are done.....do this, you get this and since she really struggles thinking for herself, she gets caught 'hook, line and sinker' (she was raised in a JW family but has never been dunked, she flirts with them A LOT)

Would agree with the general thoughts on this thread, my wife was raised JW and is in an on again/off again relationship with the WTS and when she is, the WTS comes first.
You shall do great!!!!

Higher Education Defined
by lastchance inin a new letter to all b.o.e., higher education has been defined as any education that leads to a bachelor's degree, or to postgraduate studies for careers in medicine, law, engineering and so forth.
the letter is to be used to determine if an elder, ministerial servant or pioneer still qualify if they or someone in there family, that they care for, is pursuing higher education.. so getting your associates must be fine then?.

It was built in 1912 by Christian Scientists who, when they moved on, sold it to Baptists. The Baptists moved on in the 1970s and sold it to Jehovah's Witnesses. Now the Jehovah's Witnesses want out and are asking $2,895,000.
For sale: Very large church, 34,000 square feet; sanctuary seats 1,200. -

"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12
by yourmomma inhave anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

How the house of cards comes crashing down, in the WTS' own words.
by poopsiecakes in"rejecting or trivializing the genesis account about adam and eve creates a domino effect that undermines nearly every major teaching in the bible!
such a way of thinking leads to a host of unanswered questions and a faith with nothing to stand on.".
footnote: "these include teachings about gods sovereignty, human integrity, good and evil, free will, the condition of the dead, marriage, the promised messiah, a paradise earth, gods kingdom, and many others.".

When I read threads like this I wonder how many of those still in know it is B.S. and only stay in for the sake of their older relatives.
Or on the contrary, what concerns me is people like my wife who seem to be incapable of critical thinking to see it for what it really is......sigh.... -

Reasoning from the scriptures, is there a plan to release a new version?
by insearchoftruth ini know that the section on last days is no where close to correct anymore with the 'overlapping generation' change, i am sure there are other discrepancies as well with the book.
shouldn't there be a new version of this coming out (or even better for those of us who are trying to find changes a 'change list' like what was done with the 'grand climax' book)?.

the one concern about going pretty much all electronic is I still think a lot of the money is 'made' because in essence the WTS is a multilevel marketing publishing company. If there is no need to pick up paper copies of WTs and Awakes and provide a 'suggested donation' at the KH, and then hopefully collect some additional money from the people while in FS, a source of income will dry up, unless they have a guest and member sites on the internet and maybe make some $$ there.
The WTS seems to be making most of its money at least in the US on real estate these days, I guess the paper goods will have to continue for the global south where internet access is still not a given.

I think that in reality more and more books will be electronic in nature (only) so changes can be made on the fly, could even watermark the printed version with a note that the printed copy is for information only, go to the electronic version for the latest.
