  Christmas and Thanksgiving are all about having a great time!

  by observador in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we are having friends over for thanksgiving this year, and we're enjoying every bit of it.

  as for christimas, we are playing all that game with our little one; santa claus coming with a gift for her; we're helping her decide which present we'll ask santa to bring, and all that crap.

  we're enjoying all of that, especially since our parents never did that to us.

  Do JW's stay In the Organization to avoid embarassment?

  by moshe in

  2. beliefs

  i just read this behavior study- called the asch study.

  it seems to explain why jw's agree with obviously false wt teachings and ignore warnings inside the organization.

  it is all to avoid embarassment from peers, friends and family.

  i'm curious ~ has anyone noticed how young elders are these days?

  in my old congregation, 6 of our 8 elders were under the age of 30, one of them 23, unmarried.

  the father being the p.o...ironically.

  Pyramids what did they exactly believe?

  by GBSJG in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the book "the way to paradise" from 1924 on page 155 sums up some of the believes they had about the pyramid of gizeh:.

  it is quite probable that shem, the son of noah, a faithful servant of god, was in charge of its construction.. they also mention that the pyramid provides evidence for some dates:.

  it gives the date of the exodus of the children of israel from egypt, and the date of the birth and the death of jesus.

  i'm fascinated by the early history of the watchtower organization.

  c.t.russell was an interesting person.

  he had his strong points and weaknesses.

  i'm an oldtimer.

  but does anyone else remember the "demon scare" back in the 60s or 70s?

  the watchtower came out with articles about demon possession.

  What the hell is the WTS saying about evolution now?

  by Santisimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  did anyone read the recent wts "special article" about creation and evolution?

  i read it and fell of my freaking seat.

  get this, the wts now believes (and yes, they want everyone to agree or else) that god created the universe billions of years ago and that nothing was created in six days as shown in genesis!.

  Jews for Jesus VS. JWs - Which one is closer to the 'truth'?

  by Santisimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  here's my question, which organization do you think follows the teachings of christ more accurately, jews for jesus or the jws?.

  after all, jesus did live and die as a jew not a christian.

  james, the brother of jesus carried the congregation immediately after his brother's death and he too, lived and died as a jew (even though he was killed by other jews who considered him a blasphemer).
