  Has the Watchtower ever officially LIED?

  no, i'm not here to defend them.

  but you know how they love to get off on technicalities.

  i'm sure all here would agree that the wt is extremely evasive, misleading, and intellectually dishonest (i.e.

  The Watch Tower org. are a product of "The Father of the Lie". JW's need to wake up!

  You know that kinda gay guy in your old hall?

  you know him, every hall has one.. he really knows fashion.

  he hangs out with all the middle aged women at the hall.

  his gait, voice and gestures are feminine.. if he were a "wordly" man he'd be a "flamer".. well, here's my question: is he or isn't he?

  There were two obvious gay men in our hall.....everyone knew they were gay...even though they never said they were..NO, they were not lovers. They were very nice people always ready to do you a favor or help you out in any way. Still they were "MARKED" and not treated all that nice by the other JWs.

  Why Do You Think Jehovah's Witnesses Are At A Standstill?

  by minimus in

  i think they've lost all of their zeal.

  years ago, even if people were bothered by the door knocking, it was still said that people admired their zeal and conviction.

  not one jw that i know truly gets excited by the "truth".

  Because, anyone in their right mind, has no desire to be a JW!

  Sharpton and Jackson at it again - Jenna 6 - bidness as usual

  these two opportunists (there is no other word) have set race relations in the us back 100 years.

  if only they had teamed up to encourage and facilitate education and job opportunities for their constituents as vigorously as they have advocated on behalf of casual and career criminals - we'd have a better outcome for all concerned.

  There is more to the story than the media can reveal about Mychal Bell. However the people who know are now having a heated disccusion on the chat board of "The Alexandria town talk" Here is the link if anyone wants to chime in on their discussion. http://forums.thetowntalk.com/viewforum.php?f=2&sid=8a74ec930dd10660199e021236400bec

  Have you ever stopped to think that the world we live in today, 2007, was made by those who were born between 1930 and 1979? Think about it?

  The FDS and the 144,000

  by Doug Mason in

  2. beliefs

  would someone please verify and explain the following wts theocratic arrangement for me.

  it is my understanding that the fds is made up of all members of the anointed who are on earth (wt march 1,2004 page 10 par.

  9), and that this fds class is represented on earth by the governing body.

  Greendawn said: I suppose the GB are far too power lusting to allow that to happen. They want everything for themselves and made it clear that all the rest of the "anointed" can do, is give a good example to the other JWs in terms of behaviour.

  Sounds exctally like a Nigerian scam!

  Did you ever choke while offering prayer?

  by Jourles in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  of all the times i was called upon to say prayer, i only remember choking once - but it was such a big choke i totally embarrassed myself for days on end afterwards.

  and this one time wasn't even at the kh, it was in a home right before we were going to pre-study the wt.. there were roughly 3 elders, their wives, and some other close friends of mine in the living room.

  i'd say there were around 10 of us total.

  At a book study I was asked to say the prayer. I had just run out to the car and run back as fast as I could because I had forgotten a book we needed. My prayer was said with heavy breathing and trying to catch my breath in between words. The Lady who ask me to say the prayer said she had never heard anything like it. I felt really embarrassed.
