  who are the governing body?

  by robin33126 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jehovah witness when mentioning "governing body" they say it like if they knew who these people are.

  i asked one jw to mentioned their names and couldn't answer me.

  so what is so special if they don't know the names, lives, background, of these people?

  Dear Apostates, just suppose....

  by TheApostleAK in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...that the watchtower bible & tract society really is jehovah god's earthly organisation.... wouldn't that make you all "vessels made fit for destruction" (romans 9:22 - 24) by being opposers of jehovah god and his true organisation?.

  just making this warning so you can't complain to jehovah god when his "fear-inspiring day" (joel 2:11) comes that you weren't told.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

  this message has been brought to you by the watchtower bible & tract society.

  DECEPTIVE JW ELDERS - CASE#6

  by Amazing in

  deceptive jw elders case#6 .

  jw elders can be, and often are, deceptive in how they smear the names and events concerning former jws, especially where alleged apostasy is involved.. when i moved to a particular congregation, i was at first very impressed with the good camaraderie and the help we were given in getting settled.

  the congregation was far more outgoing and often held events at a public park where they gathered to enjoy barbecue, swimming, sports, etc.

  Answered prayers

  by Oldhippie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  looking back over many years of prayers, i cannot pinpoint any time when i felt, unequivocally, that i had received a personal response to my prayers.

  can anyone here relate any experiences where you have felt that god answered prayers for you?

  The Blood Issue

  by dutyfree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a question about the infamous blood issue, which i am sure will be very easy for some people to answer.. in the bible, niv, nwt, kj or whatever, the line, '...you should abstain from blood...' is taken literally by the witnesses and they do not take into account other scriptures whilst reading it.. what other scriptures are there in the bible to support the theory that the writer's intended meaning was not to take it literally?

  so, in other words, i have argued with jws that it means to not drink blood as there were no iv needles around then to inject the blood into the veins.

  but are there any other scriptures to back this up?.

  Why do they have clothes on?

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just a thought.... in most of the publications that have pictures of people in the new order / new system / paradise earth - why do they have clothes on?

  not only that, but they usually wear their national costumes !.

  i guess the practical reason is that if everyone was naked then the watchtower would be classed as soft-porn and could only be sold from top shelves.... anyone have any thoughts on this?
