God does not need a religion on earth He has the whole universe to play with. Why would he want pitiful man made orgs?
you can answer this as seriously (lt) or as inanely (buttlight) as you like!
i was reflecting having read someone's thread about blowing off non jw family that actually it would have been so much better if i had a larger family, preferably not completely jw saturated and this random train of thought led me to thinking that if i could choose i would be catholic, because then i would have a huge family, go to really nice gothic churches with lots of candles and tortured saints and be able to go to confession (instead of lt's mobile).
also the colours of the whore of babylon always were a lot more enticing to me than the mild blues and undistracting beiges of the khs.. i think we all have religions which would suit our personalities so much better.

Those dang apostates!
the world wide service report for last year showed a pitifull increase of only 1.6%.
that is about the same for normal population increase so there was no real net growth.
now with the door to heaven wide open just think of all the kooks who always wanted to be remnant now can be remnant.

August 1st 2007 QFR
"It was previously believed that the 144,000 was a literal number"
That is all they have to print and presto - new doctrine!
That would be a wise move for the WTS
when the arrangement of the 'nethinim' (given ones) was introduced in 1992, they stated that the gb helpers would be taken "mainly from among the great crowd".
"mainly" means that there are some helpers who claim to be of the "annointed".
taking a look at the new gb members, they all were gb helpers.
The recent May 1st 2007 QFR article makes it clear that anyone IS s legitimite remnant if they so wish. No one can judge them. This is because the WTS is looking for additions to the 144,000(maybe now a symbolic number) not replacements
This 1935 doctrine change is really streamlining the whole WTS kabash.
hello brothers and sisters.
i'm a 17-year-old kid in a methodist household, and i've recently began reading up on jw doctrine and the new world translation bible.
i'd really be interested in learning more and more, possibly leading to an eventual conversion to the witnesses.
Well let me tell you I was born into that CULT JW religion and wasted 25 years there. I have been out for 20 years and I would never go back to that cult world again. You are very young and impressionable. Please take my advice and steer clear of that Cult. Please read some of the material on this site as you have much research to do. I have a stack of JW related printouts over 2 feet thick at home and it is the tip of the iceberg. For goodness sake do get involved with the JW cult and then have kids which will grow up Jw like I did, sheesh.
my grandmother passed away the other night.
it was expected; she's been sick in/out of the hospital for a while now.
most of us are more relieved than anything else because she has been so miserable these last six months or longer.

The WTS is so unloving
just recieved a e-mail from a active jw friend.
my mom was talking to a friend from bethal and they were talking about the number of the 144,000 that are left(..... and i talked briefly about this)and how they feel that there are actually less then 800and remember .....i said there had been a talk or something on it?
well i guess it was a wt article that we studied(well i knew i had heard it somewhere!
Well Bethel should update its thinking. The recent doctrine changes in the QFR said that the replacements were done away with almost entirely, so no one can question anyone who says they are annointed. Not even Elders. The problem was that there could not be that many unfaithful remant to be replaced year after year (600 remnant die each year you know) so the WTS now says there might be some unfaithful ones but most importantly the 8500 or so remnant are now being viewed as all legit because they consist primarily of additions, not replacements.
who is the faithful and wise servant of matthew 24:45-47 ?
in his end time discourse jesus stressed his unexpected arrival for judgment.
by telling a range of parables, he impressed that teaching on the mind of his disciples.
Yes the slave is evil
