  Perils of Pay-As-You-Go "Preaching"

  by metatron in

  some time ago, when the surprizing news emerged that the watchtower was radically downsizing their printing in brooklyn, rumors emerged.

  that they were seriously looking at contracting out all such operations to outside firms.

  some on this website offered their learned opinion.

  2. bible

  how many of you remember the scary pictures in the revelation book?

  how many of you remember the images of the buildings on fire, crashing down on people?

  Why do JWs claim to imitate Jesus?

  by Santisimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  after researching the subject for several years, i have come to the conclusion that the jws do not imitate jesus as shown in the greek scriptures.

  jesus was a practicing jew.

  this means he didn't eat pork, he observed the sabbath and all the traditional jewish customs.

  have any of you had the experience of eating with the bethel family?.

  what were some of the idiosyncrasies of it?.

  as i mentioned before in another thread, it was brought up to me by another jw guest after the meal that it was "as if this was like a cult" when everyone would drop their utensils on que, stand up in unison and end the meal with a prayer.

  Made up ideas by "the Society"

  by Anomalous One in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  .

  interestingly enough, the homepage of www.watchtower.org has the gall post a link ripping the trinity because, if true, "it should be clearly and consistently presented in the bible.

  guess they don't like anyone infringing on their rights to create.

  Why do you have YOUR faith?

  by FreedomFrog in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  faith is the belief in something that there is no proof in.

  christians believe in jesus, pagans believe in goddesses, atheist believe in no god and so on.... so everyone has put their "faith" in something one way or another.

  even if you have put your "faith" in you...what made you choose?
