by cedars in

i'm sure by now you are all aware of the feb 15th, 2012 study edition of the watchtower, and its outrageous experience depicting domestic violence.. as you may know, i have been looking into the matter in some detail.

i decided to contact the uk domestic abuse charity "refuge".

they indicated their concern towards the article and offered to help in any way they could.

"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12

by yourmomma in

have 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?

Would also help me when I talk to my wife about the issue.

Hey, to anyone still attending meetings: Are you gonna comment? What will you say? For others, what would you say if you could?

Wanted to move this question back on the visible active topic screen.

Outright Misrepresentations of Quotes and Citations in Watchtower Literature

by Londo111 in

the research of doug mason, annomaly, and others have been eye opening in regards to the society's recent articles on 607 bc.

what i find most disturbing is the misrepresentations of scholars, who are quoted in such a way to say one thing, when they meant something completely different.

it is one thing to teach a doctrine, and quite another to play fast and loose with the truth.

insearchoftruth

Great example leavingwt, I may have to print the reference and fold it up in my wife's reasoning book.....

There are already many threads with the misquotes in the Trinity brochure, I guess that is why there is no reference list or cited references for this brochure....

What's The Biggest Difference In Today's JWs And The Witnesses From Decades Ago?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i believe today's witnesses lack zeal, resolve, "love" of the "truth"......just to name a few things.. years ago, witnesses were excited to knock on doors and tell people they were gonna die if they didn't accept paradise.. now, when you see jws in service, they all look zombied out.. it's a slowly dying religion that will last probably forever like an ancient rotted out tree..

insearchoftruth

I look at some of the older books like the Revelation book and one at least had to be able to think to understand what is being stated, and now they are going to simplified watchtowers........the whole organization seems to be 'dumbing down'.

pat gives his blessings to divorce your mate if they become sick.

"just make sure they are cared for, go ahead and date another man or women.".

Of all the obtuse things Pat Robertson has said, the mac & cheese comment is one of the least offensive/stupid.

Completely agree, he really is an embarrasement!

Have to laugh, we are having friends over for a big meal, originally going to be a turkey dinner but after my wife talked to her study sister we are having a standing rib roast ( which I will prefer). Have a happy thanksgiving.

I've had a bite, that's all I'm saying for now!

Good to hear, hoping to hear or see something from what I have emailed and sent out via regular mail, would love to get a campus group interested in this, if anyone can make an issue viral, a college student group can!
