  Researching the WBTS is painful and shocking

  by restrangled in

  after lady liberty gave a link to the new re-examine site, i found some details that are so disturbing its boggling my mind.. first, the original presidents were voted in, but not one vote per person but for every $10.00 contributed you received a vote.

  so those already in power and with much money had tremendous sway as to who got in and who didn't.

  this little scheme was not stopped until 1944.. so when rutherford was "elected by a unanimous vote" we can assume it was mainly of his own doing based on money contributed.

  Hurts so good?

  by return visitor in

  i know many have been hurt by association with the wts, but i was just wondering, are there any truths that you accually can take away from your association with it.

  for instance, before becoming a jw i would recite the lord's prayer, and had never read in matt.

  that is was not to be recited, but that it was mearly there as an example of how to pray.

  i was talking to my mom and she has begun fulltime pioneering.. she is grieving over the loss of her son and its all just too much.. i told her to quit pioneering and take care of her.

  she said , but i gave my word.. i said it makes me sick that you feel the pressure to do this and not give yourself time.

  she is already feeling rundown and beginning to hate going out and it's just the second month!.

  Active JWs: lurkers and posters, is your religion ritualistic?

  by AuldSoul in

  watchtower october 1, 1998, p. 14, par.

  2. the coldhearted attitude of the pharisees constituted a crime against humanity and a sin against god.

  (john 9:39-41) with good reason, jesus warned his disciples, "watch out for the leaven" of this elitist group and other religionists, such as the sadducees.

  Where in the Bible does it say man has free will?

  by lovelylil in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was doing some research on another topic and this scripural point kept coming up - jesus said "no one comes to me unless the father who sent me draws him" this word draw means to "entice" or "attract".

  in light of this statement, does this mean we actually do not have free will to decide to serve christ?

  for it says we cannot do so unless drawn by god.
