All religions preach however, they are more effective then J.W.'S.WBTS brag in their videos about their preaching work door to door and how much literature they sell.They printed over 2 billion pieces of literature last year but only 129 million bible in their whole history.It just goes to show they are interested in making money and not preaching the word of God the Bible.For instance the Gideons place over 60 million Bibles in ONE year alone.They Gedeons also mention that they would place a lot more Bibles but are restained by lack of funds.More Bible education work is accompished in China via,TV,internet,radio than any other means.The WBTS should be ashamed of wasting peoples resouces ie cars,gas etc for accomplishing so little with so much money.Yet they keep asking for more donations so they can build fancy bethel homes for themselves and live in luxury.See proclaimers book,Patterson.and other bethel homes.More on their videos later.

25Preaching work - What other religion preaches??
by Black Man ini know the mormons go door to door and i have seen some church of god people occasionally.
who else has organized preaching ministries (door to door, etc.)?
i'm in an ongoing dialogue with relatives and this is one of their contentions - that the witnesses must have the truth (despite the many fallacies) because they are the only one that go door to door preaching.

Upcoming Elders Schooling
by Questions1 init's no secret that the "organization" has increased it's cia, national security clerance only super-secret attitude in regards to the elder school that is going to be conducted soon.
a few days ago, i had a conversation with an elder who has been in the fold all of his life practically.
in keeping with the conversation style of jws, the gentleman told me that nobody knows what exactly will be taught at the meetings, but in his backdoor conversations with some brothers who seem to be tuned into the bethel's officially, unofficial, communications network, the elders are going to be taught "post-armageddon" teachings.

Welcome Question1 however, I would NOT say how scholars on this forum get info on the WBTS.They got their ear to the ground and monitor this forum.The more that crime gang is kept in the dark the better.

What makes the 144,000 heavenly class stand out from the average person?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe jehovahs witnesses claim that the 144,000 is a limit to the number of people who will reign with christ in heaven and spend eternity with god.
the 144,000 have the heavenly hope.
those who are not born again will enjoy the earthly hopea paradise on earth ruled by christ and the 144,000. today,the wts claim that there are less than 9,000 heavenly class left on earth.. .

They are choosen by the old farts in H.Q. of the WBTS.As far as replacements I can't see why after all God forgive a murderer,adulterer,(killed 70K) and he, God choose David.If there were 10,187 in 1977 that means the number of 144k had been fullfilled.So they are 30 years older today,yeah end is here.Go sell your house,cat dog,toys and go get slaves for the printing company.

Is there a Universal Issue? Did God cheat....yes and I can prove it.
by oompa ingen. 3:5 for god knows that in the very day of your eating from it your eyes are bound to be opened and you are bound to be like god, knowing good and bad.".
(genesis 3:22) 22 and jehovah god went on to say: "here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad, and now in order that he may not put his hand out and actually take [fruit] also from the tree of life and eat and live to time indefinite,".
gen 3:22and the lord god said, behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:i awoke this morning and had an epiphiny.

Myelaine,thanks for your answer to my question.My take the construction of Babel started approx.2170 B.C. give or take 100 years. The Bible in oral and written 2170 to 1513 oral, 1513-approx 400 B.C. oral/written in Hebrew.Language changed in 2170 when construction of Babel (probablely 10 or more languages).So only the Hebrew people or some many say God's choosen people got direction/instructions.That's according to the Bible.Now why would a parent, father or mother only communicate with one sibling in a language that it understood but the rest didn't.That is how I see God he/she is the parent of the human family,Enough of this bullshit,that is why the god of the Bible is an idiot.
PS:If language changed,how did Moses communicate with Pharoah.Also how did the wondering idiots talk to God's enemy nations.

Scriptural Christian requirements v JW Christian requirements
by Must obey! inthe scriptural requirements to be a good christian are refreshingly few and simple, perhaps encapsulated by these few scriptures (nwt):.
matthew 7:12 all things, therefore, that you want men to do to you, you also must likewise do to them; this, in fact, is what the law and the prophets mean.
1 john 3:16 for god loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.. acts 15:28 for the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you, except these necessary things, 29 to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication.

You better believe J.W. have different requirements.Why do you think they have their own unique watchtower.The J.W are a unique people,not normal,lack thinking ability thus their own instruction manual(wt) on how to think.They are a sad case.

God changed the lanuage of the people.Please explain why he wrote the instruction book the Bible in one lanuage.I believe he is an idiot.Why would anyone want this ruler and pledge allegiance to this idiot.

Context and Consistency
by DT insince i was born into the wts, i suffered from a lot a brainwashing before i could even read.
i had a lot of preconceived ideas before i started to read the bible.
i assumed that it was consistent, so when i came across apparent contradictions, i assumed there were reasonable explanations and even tried to make them up.

Bible is not consistent.Ex1.Mosiac law given only to one nation.Law done away with after J.C.Ex.2 read Numbers ch:19 is there any micro benefit today,any education value,any spiritual value,any emotional value.Ex3 you can go thru the whole Bible particular the O.T.and it has as much value as numbers ch:19.Note, law of J.C. was to ALL nations,but only a few rx'd it.Nations like China,India had their own brand of religion.

911
by LadyCCC ini remember when 911 happened on the world trade center, a lot of people that were inactive or disfellowshipped starting showing up at the kingdom hall.
there was a lot of gossip about how a few people were confessing to the elders about sins committed inthe past.
it seems as though people were thinking it was armageddon time.

Most dedicated slaves to the WBTS believe ARMIE(short for armageddon) is just around the corner.Why,because the faithful slave told them.So when things like 911 happen they say see the fds is right.Remember Dec26/2004 earthquake and flood in Indonesia.Yeah ARMIE is here.Santa Claus farted, here comes ARMIE,here comes ARMIE,you better be good or elder elf will DF you.
