i met a non-jw woman (full gospel member) that said had a lesbian spirit cast out of her, now she judges men by their penis size. I think maybe she just traded demons,haha.

.....another Watchtower contradiction.
by gumby infar be it from the jehovah's witnesses to talk out of both sides of their mouth.. far be it from jehovah's witnesses to doublespeak.. below is a perfect example of how gods chosen channel of truth has evidently forgotten what they previously stated in the "watchtower" which is their gods own publication for dispensing bible based truths to mankind.. .
"at times explanations given by jehovah's visible organization have shown adjustments, seemingly to previous points of view.
but this has not actually been the case.

Go to the hall Sat. mornings for service, but have a 'study' to go to instead. Then go home and study your collage courses

Who denied holidays first - WWCOG or JW's?
by AK - Jeff inanother thread indicated that wwcog had been ahead of jw's in saying that holidays were 'verbotten' - and that the wts then picked up on the cue as additional ammunition to keep witnesses under control and 'seperate from the world'.. can this be confirmed with dates/times ?

Please send me Watchtower Society........to peddle your literature!
by RULES & REGULATIONS innow that i look back,all witnesses are used to do the societies dirty work and peddle watchtower literature .the ministry school is used as a tool to go out and sell books.new members must go out and preach or else they cannot get baptized.young children are called ''publishers'' even if they don't know anything about the bible.the elderly who cannot walk must do phone witnessing or else they will be on the irregular preaching list.
ten hours a month averages are stressed so you feel like your not doing enough.
"pioneer for the summer" talks are another means to push everyone that is out of school or has summer vacation.sell all the old stock of books{197 page books} that are sitting in the warehouse.pass out pamplets and the list goes on.if you don't ,the new recruits will!

More Earthquakes? What did Jesus really mean?
by FuzzyPaul ini think that when jesus said "... there would be earthquakes in one-place after another ..." he was saying those things would happen but that those things were not the sign, he said those things must take place but the end is not yet.
disasters are unavoidably distracting.
what jesus said was of similar content to his discussion of the galileans whose blood was mixed with a sacrifice or those 18 persons who died when the tower of siloam fell on them.
