  by VM44 in

  thirty years a watchtower slave, by william schnell, was publishied in the mid 1950s, and is still in print.

  .

  however, the version currently available is an abridged version of the book.. so one might wonder what was cut or removed from the orignial, and also why was it removed?.

  okay i'm still a newbie but i was quite surprised when reading some info of a statement about the 'end being fluid' and that .

  'present truth replaces past truth ,however present truth may be replaced by future truth'.

  cambridge dictionary definition on truth -the real facts about a situation, event or person.

  Do not Disassociate, Anull your baptism

  by jwfacts in

  i am now a jedi, so trust me on this.. .

  why dis-associate, you are just playing by the wts rules?

  how can you dis-associate anyway, you never thought you were baptised as a watchtower society member, you thought your dedication was to god, so why formally disassociate from something you did not formally join?

  How long has it been "the time of the end" ?

  by lost_light06 in

  this question crossed my mind last night.

  i wonder, people in the "dark ages", who were many times under tremendous oppression religiously, politically, monetarily, etc., did they believe they were in the the time of the end?

  it was mentioned in a post above that people today, especially in the west, live much better lives than in times past.

  Do they themselves believe?

  by Kristofer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  sometimes i wonder, with the number of letters that the wt receives refuting doctrine & practices, does the gb really buy what they put out?

  or are they just pushing literature and living off the collections from congregations.

  i would think that if i received overwhelming evidence of the faultiness of my religion, i'd be forced by my own conscience to change or speak up or make a difference.

  I want a refund . . .

  by cruzanheart in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  after reading all those threads and articles about how much money the wtbts has squirreled away and invested and after volunteering to serve birthday cupcakes and punch at a homeless shelter run by the combined efforts of first presbyterian church and first methodist in downtown dallas, i have decided that i want my money back.. i want back every single cent that i ever contributed to that jabba the hut of an organization that just sits on its money and never uses a penny of it to benefit its members or the rest of humanity.

  i want back the $10,000 that my dad "loaned" the society in the 1970's that they -- 10 years later -- strongly suggested he just give to them to save them the trouble of writing a check.. i want to be paid for the 13 years of regular pioneer service that i wasted on that organization.

  let's see, at roughly 100 hours a month (that's what the requirement was back then), 1200 hours a year times 13 + 15,600. hmmm, okay, i'll take minimum wage for it -- isn't that $6.50 an hour now?
