  2. experiences

  do you still go to the assembly just to laugh quietly inside?

  wouldn't it be great for those of us that do still go to the assemblies and meetings,etc.

  to have a secret signal that lets us know who we are?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was was the first thing that really decieved you, in your jw years?.

  was it the way you were treated, or maybe a teaching that deceived you ?.

  i think my 1st deception was when they said that the resurrected ones wouldn't be allowed to get married in the new system.. then i wondered why ???

  The printing presses of the WTS stopped working...could they really preach?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we know that the whole objective of the preaching work is to place( sell ) magazines and books.

  the labor is free from the warehouse to the distribution at the door.

  they preach today's bad news and topics from the bible.

  1. watchtower

  what's the main motivating force behind the average jw?.

  607 to 1914 calculation question

  by bluebell in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is there any culture that actually used years of 360 days length?

  if so, surely there would still be some kind of leap year to correct the calendar, why is that not taken into account?

  i'd never thought about it when i was a dub because you're not supposed to think!
