  NWT. Question

  by searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the nwt is a trnslation of the bible.(jw).

  the jw's believe that something is only true if there are two witnesses.. the question is... why do the jw's belive that the nwt is a 'true translation' when there is only one witness to it.

  Disfellowship article-Make them squirm

  by good2bgone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the august km disfellowshipping article will be discussed the weeks of aug 19 & 26. i'm thinking of explaining the shunning policy to a reporter or some friends.

  they could go to the meeting that night and explain before the meeting that they are interested in listening and learning what jw's believe and see how they treat others.

  would it make the elders squirm when the article is discussed?

  The Downward Spiral

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  almost twenty years ago jim penton mentioned that the wts was losing its brightest and best members in far greater percentages than its not-so-brightest and not-so-best .

  this malaise was jump-started with rutherford's attack on "higher education" and in recent years has backfired on the society.

  the wts has promoted low-tech education and employment in a high-tech world and is reaping the very whirlwind it has created.. most recently we've seen another whirlwind the society has created: it is hunting down and executing its best examples of caring, concerned christians: people like joe and barbara anderson, bill bowen and a whole host of unnamed others who are trying to be exemplary christians, even if it means standing up to the unchristian policies and doctrines of the watchtower.. successful watchtower recruits are unlikely to be educated people simply because in the pre-indoctrination process, educated people are likely to spot the doctrinal inconsistencies, the fallacious reasoning and the double-standards that are a part of watchtower life.

  WT Speaks Out On Apostasy

  by stevieb1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the following quote is taken from the september 15, 2002 edition of the watchtower, p.16-18:.

  "in the first century, such individuals as hymanaeus, alexander, and philetus, were advocating ideas that did not fit "the pattern of healthful words.

  " (1 timothy 1:18-20; 2 timothy 2:16,17) how could the early christians avoid being led astray by apostates?

  Baptism

  by joannadandy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just some thoughts i had...it creeped itself into poem format...i hate when that happens...lol.

  there was light on their wings as they stepped into the water.. there was gold on their hands as they pushed me toward the stream.. the thick black of the swirling water went un-noticed except by me.. the thick black smoke they breathed was choking me.. i stepped back afraid.. i stepped back to flee.. they called to me in a siren song that was slightly out of tune.. they pounded words from dusty books into my ears.. the words became pleasurable for a time in the numbness they brought.. there were hundreds all around me.. there was love in their words, and faces filled with indifference.. yet still no wings for me after these long years.. there was gold on their faces, but i saw the red reflected in their eyes.. i sat on the bank and cried gray tears.. the light would never reflect the same.. ashes in my lap,.

  dust within the air.. i am made of nothing, .

  field service when df'd?

  by teejay in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  from what i've read (and heard) over the years, the society says you can.

  you can even go up to the literature and magazine counter and get your weekly allotment and the brothers at the counter will treat you like everybody else.. i hafta say... when i was df'd, i never did.

  the thought never occurred to me.

  Who are the 144,000?

  by EXJWBrit in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i swallowed and believed such much shit when i was a jw that i have a few more questions to ask anyone who has the answers.

  the 144,000 is a big gripe of mine........ right, i was told that the 144,000 found out they were one of the anointed when they had a flash of "revelation" at some point and truly believed it or they had known since they were a child.

  what a load of shit!

  The book that will bring Ethics to the GB.

  by Bleep in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the governing body may be too old to teach sex education.

  but they are wise in other matters.. i have made a new topic since i slaughtered the book in the last topic of raymond franz.

  do not forget that he made a mistake in being a 100% governing body thinker.. no organization at its early stages can live up to jehovah's expectations and no one is perfect.. please list some good ideas, ethics that the governing body has done here.
