  If the bible is from God then explain this!

  by Anti-Christ in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  nu 31:17-18 moses, following the lord's command, orders the israelites to kill all the midianite male children and "... every woman who has known man ...." (note: how would it be determined which women had known men?

  one can only speculate.

  dt 21:10-13 with the lord's approval, the israelites are allowed to take "beautiful women" from the enemy camp to be their captive wives.

  My Re-instatement Letter

  by Hangin_on in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is weird.

  i searched on the internet for ideas for my re-instatement letter and after gathering my information i submitted it.

  the local body of elders questioned some of the information on it asking if it was from my heart and asking where i got it.

  What will the new WT arragement mean for the meeting & lit arrangements?

  by Hoping4Change in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm not sure if this has been covered elsewhere, but after hearing the announcement, i got to wondering what affect the new wt distribution arragement may have on the meetings.

  also, is there any chance that they may move to a position of even more 'cloistering' of themselves, saying that only publishers (baptized and unbaptized) can go to the wt study, bookstudy, tms and sm, leaving only the public talk for 'the public' and df'd/da'd ones seeking reinstatement?

  might they move the wt study to some time other than immediately following the public talk?

  Will the WTBTS come to an end?

  by pierogi in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  cults come and go so do you think the wtbts will eventually come to an end?

  i think about this sometimes and i wonder if i will live to see it.

  the reason why i want it to end is because i don't like the administration.

  The Governing Body and the Anointed

  by greendawn in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  according to jw theory all those taking the memorial emblems are part of the body of christ and therefore should participate in the status and functions of the anointed.

  if we are to say that some of these "anointed" are just fruitcakes or spiritually immature, what about all the rest?

  why are they so invisible, nowhere heard or seen contributing to these anointed functions?

  This Greber 'coverup' is disgusting, Isn't it?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i had proven to myself, with help from ray franz and others, that the 'truth' was not the 'truth' about three years back - so in most cases i have paid little attention to further proof.

  once proven, always proven, right?.

  then this week, i began to do a little research into the greber thing - i typed in greber watchtower to my google seach.. 465 hits - and started to read a few of the websites.

  Should I wait to be questioned by the elders? or take my leave in advance?

  by Thinking of Leaving in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hi everyone, i recently joined this forum as i'm close to being df.

  i am suppose to meet with a judical committee soon but was thinking that i don't want to go through those personal questions that i'm sure the elders would ask.

  does anyone know, is it better to just tell the elders before, say like on the phone, that i want to be df and not go through the committee?

  Turn away from these wicked ways!

  by Proud Witness in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well as you would have guessed from my name, i am a proud witness and i feel obliged to preach to you about the promises that our wonderful creator, jehovah god, has promised each and every one of us, of any race or background.

  i know that you already know what he has told us through his word, but i am curious to wonder why you have chosen to jump off the narrow road which leads to everlasting life.

  is it because you have had a bad experience in god's organization?
