  Do You Remember When JWs Relished Explaining Their Beliefs?

  i bet most witnesses could not explain their blood policy, their understanding of the slave, and even simple biblical doctrines....they are an embarrassment to any old timer..

  Actually, you may want to look a little closer at Matthew 10:11-15, which is the scripture that you quoted as being Jesus' instructions to his Apostles to preach 'from house to house'. The cross references to this scripture text is found in the middle of the page on page 1317 of the New World Translation Revised. Jesus instructions are clearly on the finding of lodging during their travels. Mark 6:10 and Luke 9:4 are the cross referenced scriptures.

  Mark 6:10: "Further, he said to them: 'Whenever you enter into a home, stay there until you leave that place' ".

  Luke 9:4: "But whenever you enter into a home, stay there and leave from there."

  I am sure that you are sincere in your beliefs but you must not take what Jehovah's Witnesses say about the Bible at face value. You will find that many here were Bethelites, Missionaries, Elders, Ministerial Servants and Pioneers. Most of the men and women who post here were sincere and devoted Jehovah's Witnesses until they did some REAL research without the distorting slant of Watchtower dogma. Stick around and keep an open mind. There is much to learn from the many experienced men and women posting here.

  I'll bite, A Believer. What scripture directly says that Jesus spread the 'good news' door to door?

  In my day, many Bethelites had their own cars. When I was at Watchtower farms in the mid '70s, mine was a 1969 Chrysler Newport coupe; green with a green alligator vinyl roof. We carpooled back then and helped each other out with finances. I would assume that it would be the same today.

  Jehovah God is Real

  by TakeOffTheCrown in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there are many on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists; that he is not a real being.

  but, he is as real as next breath you draw into your nostrils.. some of you say that there is no evidence that he exists.

  yet, none of you can prove that he does not exits.. cofty, (you come to mind), i appreciate that you have stated, without reservation, that you do not believe that god exists.. yet, you cannot prove it.. hope in jehovah..

  sherri papini is that woman kidnapped in california and released on thanksgiving day making the news right now.. during one of the reports this morning on the today show there was a quick scene of an investigation going on at a kingdom hall.

  there was crime tape up and everything.

  Yes, NikL..........I caught the same thing and wondered myself if she had any connection with the Witnesses. Right in the background during the report was the hideous JW.ORG sign on a Kingdom Hall.
