i just have a querie about this book my jw freind gave me, its called "what does the bible really teach" i started reading and i found the first few chapters ok but further on in the book it seemed logical but just doesnt seem right, the best way i can describe it was kinda hypnotic, it just doesnt feel right... the other thing in the book i noticed was when it says "as you learn more from the bible, you may find that some well meaning people wil urge you to stop such studies.

they may worry that you will change your beliefs.

but dont let anyone stop you from forming the best freindship you can ever have.

Well after snooping around on the net, i found something interesting, in the book on pg 215 in the apendix it talks about 1914 and says "Decades in advance, Bible students proclaimed that would be significant developments in 1914. What were these? and what evidence points to 1914 as such an important year?" If im right is this talking about christs presence, and if so didnt his presence begin in 1874 and armageddon was in 1914, and then his presence was changed to 1914 20 years later or so.

So what were they expecting decades in advance? armageddon or christs presence?

Yeah thanks for the input, well she is a freind at work, weve been working together quite awhile, she then told me to look at this book and tell me what i think of it. As I said i told her it didnt feel right, but she said it was because i was holding on to my own beliefs. I have heard alot of things about jehovahs witnesses, but knowing one in person seemed to be different, she seemed nice and trusting, a little fruitty at times, but i always thought it was passion for their religion. I didnt realise how it really is, its hard to scrutinise the book when everything seems to fit in place, I was beginning to think to myself that maybe my beliefs were wrong, but i have this feeling there is stuff thats doesnt seem right.

Hi everyone!

I just have a querie about this book my JW freind gave me, its called "what does the bible really teach" i started reading and i found the first few chapters ok but further on in the book it seemed logical but just doesnt seem right, the best way i can describe it was kinda hypnotic, it just doesnt feel right... the other thing in the book i noticed was when it says "as you learn more from the bible, you may find that some well meaning people wil urge you to stop such studies. They may worry that you will change your beliefs. But dont let anyone stop you from forming the best freindship you can ever have. So why do they warn you about well meaning people urging you to stop such studies, is there something wrong with JW that they dont want you to listen to others who care about you, because i just think that finding god would be a good thing especially if you changed bad habbits, that would be positive, i dont know it doesnt add up! and why is the title what does the bible really teach? did it teach something different before?

I hope these arent silly questions and am i being too cautious with this book?, can someone tell me about this book, because i said it doesnt feel right to my freind and she said that i only feel that way because i may be trying to cling on to my beliefs.

Any help would be good
