Yeah I remember feeling like a tool whenever i tried to explain it. It's got to be some of the dumbest watchtower logic that goes behind the no birthdays rule.
Yeah we should catch up sometime soon. I've been snowed under with work but i should be right in 2 or 3 weeks.

What are some Watchtower rules and customs that have no biblical basis?
by jwfacts inthere are a lot of customs that jws cant do without any clear scriptural backing (off course there is always some infered scriptural principle to back up what they say) .
when i was a teenager my study conductor disciplined me for burning incense, reading me some mosaic laws that obviously do not apply to christians.
though this was a personal opinion not a watchtower ruling.

Don't forget the whole reporting thing at the end of the month has no scriptural basis.
I can think of a few others:
Brothers having to wear a tie at meetings.
Can't celebrate Birthdays.
Not standing for the national anthem. -

1996
by JH inalthough we are in 2006, often i think we are in 1996. i'm 10 years off.
my mom showed me something that she bought, and she wrote the date on the box.
i looked at it and it was written january 1995. i told my mom, it's only 1 year old.

It looks like that period of time (90's) left a strong impression on your mind. I think it's kinda like at the beginning of each year. Sometimes you come to write the date and you find yourself writing it using the previous year and not the new year.

Did Jesus Already Come in 1918?????
by RevFrank ini had to ponder on this for a while .
according to the watchtower jesus came invisiblly back in 1918..i think.
i mean is shouldn't we be taken up to heaven in 1918?

JW's believe that the jesus second coming is actualy a period which started in 1914 when he was enthroned in heaven as king. The first thing he supposedly did as king was battle with Satan and cast him and his demons down to earth.
What makes their belief even more ridiculous is their claims that the war in heaven ended in 1918 (coinciding with the release of watchtower officials from prison.) It took jesus and his angels 4 years to cast satan and his demons out of heaven. Funny to think that Satan could resist jesus in battle for four years. Considering Jesus is supposed to have created (or at least co-created) him and all the demons in the first place.

Reasons why the Governing Body are big time conmen.
by greendawn inthe gb of the jws continue to make this grandiose claim that they were god appointed to be his sole channel through which he gives new light to the world and that they were also assigned to oversee his kingdom interests on earth.
this is of course an audacious but cheap lie that they want to use as a means to promote themselves and climb up, like babylon, on the backs of their followers.
what reasons or information can you offer that proves they are impostors against god and men?

Woodsman,
Actually the bible is full of new light. When it comes to moral principles the bible is far from consistent. You just need to look at the general difference in the teachings between old and new testaments as one example.

Maaaannnn... I had about 5 heart attacks during that game!!
The worst was when viduka missed his penalty kick...
Oh what memories... When Aloisi sunk his shot into the back of the net i think that was SWEETEST sporting moment I had ever experienced, I can't believe it's still so fresh in my mind. I still get the adrelinen rush when i think about it. :D
