im in the process of trying to get my boyfriend to see sense, as however much i try i can see no sense in the jws teachings as "christian"..ive got little over a week before he's baptised, but im not giving up that easily, especially after reading the stories on here..he says he wants to rescue me from a burning house..i say i want to rescue him from the hang mans noose..anyway was discussing with him earlier and i know i read somewhere in the bible something along the lines that we should let no man teach us, and read no other material that has been changed, apart from the bible, as god will teach us all things..i just cant remember the exact wording or where in the bible i read it..does someone know where that was...im still looking lol!

i think one of the scriptures you are thinking of is in revelations 22:18

"if any man makes an addition to these things god will add to him the plagues that are written in these scrolls;"

can you be objective about the watchtower society's literature?

i'll take it page by page using the september 15, 06 WT

front cover... "Are We Living In 'The Last Days'?" An emaciated woman and child stare out at you tearfully with a building destroyed in the background, presumably by an earthquake.(a subtle reminder that we are getting more and more earthquakes no doubt, which is not even factual) Okay... i really don'y like someone trying to target an emotive response to feed me their doctrine. "do it for the starving children'. the people on the magazine are prolly muslim so Jehovah will kill them anyway, right?

*flips pages*

blah, blah, blah, doom,...more doom, starving children, wife beaters, holier than thou jdubs save the day...

- "We Cannot Stop Speaking About Jesus"

(or rather, we cannot stop making it look like jesus chose us, enough about jesus, let's talk about why you should do exactly what we say.)

- "They Called Together The Sanhedrin"

(to make this article?)

- "A Seal Belonging To Jucal"

(who the fuck is jucal? anyway...this is interesting because it's about the destruction of jerusalem by nebuchadnezzar but they totally leave out 607 and just write "in the seventh century B.C.E.".)

- "Jehovah's Word Is Alive- Highlights From the Book of Proverbs"

(immorality. OH NOOOES! you better do what the jdub's say or god will hate you.)

- "Show Love And Respect By Controlling Your Tongue"

(no oral sex! *rolls eyes* ... of course the only way to save your marriage is by reading the bible and talking to the elders. why, that's the answer to everything!')

- "Rejoice With The Wife Of Your Youth"

(more of the same ... my brain is now starting to melt.)

- "Questions From Readers" - What is the congregation's responsibility if a christian driving an automobile has an accident tht results in the death of others

(well little johnny, since this christian in his automobile is no better than anyone else, i'd say he'll serve time for involuntary man slaughter. There is no scripture about disfellowshipping someone for accidentally killing someone unless you go back to the old testament where someone could flee to the city of refuge but that has no bearing on our time...'course this has never stopped them from adding on principles to the bible...so why not?

ask a stupid question...

- "His Delight Was in the Law of Jehovah"

(Albert D. Schroeder of the Governing Body kicked the bucket. Does anyone care?)

- "How I Do LOVE YOUR LAW!"

(back page- law meaning what the WTS says in jdub speak. you're gonna be controlled and you're gonna like it!)

What Was the Role of the Prophets? --->please help pick this apart.

by lisavegas420 in

i asked a jw several questions via email ....this was the only question she has answered.. the first page talks about false doctrines.

do jehovah's witnesses feel that they are prophets?

the title of this is "the end of false religion is near" that sounds like a prophesy.. this is her answer.. whatwastheroleoftheprophets?.

JW books for sale, hire or distribution

by Simon in

we have a stack of old jw (wts) and jw-related (commentary-type) books sat in boxes.

we haven't looked at them for years now and probably won't ever again.

options are:.

TheKings

I have a good idea for the old magazines. We do a lot of traveling and wouldn't it be great to leave old mags with a note attached to see this site, WT research or whatever, maybe asking about the 607 issue, salvation through the WT, or the pedophile issue? Leaving them at gas station rest rooms or interstate rest areas? I used to leave the mags. Wish I'd kept the old ones now, I'd put them to good use!

excellent idea.

what i would tell her is to answer my questions as simply as possible. tell her you don't want an essay and if she has to explain something that much then it's most likely not true. what's simple is true. it's sounds more confusing than clarifying.

^i hope this makes you smile.

(arson is bad, but so are kingdom halls)

and if armageddon ever comes you can be sure the booklyn WTS HQ will be 'devoted to destruction' for the evil way they treat their members.
