  War on Iraq

  by tan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was listening to a radio program this morning regarding the war in iraq and someone made the statement of: "how would you feel if you were catholic and the government came and told you that you would need to convert to what the government believed.

  " the radio personality relayed this as to what part of the war was all about -- conversion the western american culture.

  isn't that suppose to be the type of persecution the jw's are supposed to get?

  The Lord's prayer, why JW's never say it

  by moomanchu in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we all know it's not an issue if people say the lord's prayer or not, but except for the fact that jw's make it an issue.

  to them it's kinda like the boogie man and to say it makes you part of christendom, ripe for destruction.. this thread is in response to another thread.i finally took some time to look into information to make a reply.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/130602/2.ashx.

  a jw commented on that thread.

  The Watchtower justification for now allowing CIVILIAN SERVICE.

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  after tens of thousands of young witness men in the prime of their lives have spent years in jails for refusing civilian service in 1996 the watchtower decided such a choice was not unchristian and a matter of choice.

  watchtower 1996 may 1 p.20.

  what, though, if the state requires a christian for a period of time to perform civilian service that is a part of national service under a civilian administration?

  Jesus gave the Sign

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when jesus answered his disciples question about the sign of the temples destruction, they coupled it with the end of the age (aeon) because the end of the temple would clearly indicate that the jewish age had come to its end.

  likewise, the disciples believed that this momentous event the destruction of the temple would herald the appearance of messiah in power.

  they did not recognize that, instead of coming as a mighty conquering warrior, the messiah had arrived as a babe.

  QUESTIONS FROM READERS----CHECK THIS OUT!

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  seeing as i have the wt in front of me today, i thought you'd enjoy the questions from readers from the february 15, 2007 article on the evils and pagan origins on toasting or clinking of glasses.

  the article specifically mentions how not everything today that was of pagan origin is necessarily bad, and sites "wedding rings" as being of pagan origin, but it's not viewed like that now.

  then, incredibly, they go on and say that while toasting might not be considered a religious practice today, there's "good reason" for christians to avoid it------without giving any valid reason why other than: do as we say:.
