i'll wager that the number is close to 100 percent.
what number?
the number of jws who have lists--lists of things that make them go hmmm or even wha'???
The flood story
The violence of the Old Testament
The notion that people's salvation at Armageddon depended on how they responded when JWs came uninvited to their home
That so many bad elders were somehow appointed by holy spirit
That dying by refusing a blood transfusion is showing respect for life
years ago, when i was studying with the witnesses, my bible studty conductor's sister in ohio died.
of cancer as i recall.
so he flew back to ohio ( from san diego ) to be with his family .
I was told essentially the same thing by an elder after 9/11. "It's 3000 people who wouldn't have survived Armageddon anyway."
.
The most amazing part is how they can state publicly that they don't practice shunning, and even condemn other religions for doing it, and then put this out in print for people to see. Talk about brass.
every paragraph and every article in this issue is nonstop heavy artillery fire propaganda.
i have never seen a wt so full of logical fallacies, appeals to emotion, appeals to authority, guilt tripping and bite techniques all in one issue!
paragraph 9 states clearly that even though the gb is imperfect, that does not matter, we must obey them anyways.
It may not have been written so blatantly or directly before. But the idea that JWs should be obedient to the GB is really nothing new. Sadly, most of them won't even bat an eye.
jw's walk like this, they eat this way, they look like this,.
they have sex this way (lol), they talk this way and etc.. are we excessively concerned with or critical of inconsequential.
details??.
I've actually thought about this. But as was said before, I think it's mostly just venting on people's part.
I think there are people on this forum who will find a way to blame the WT for every evil under the sun. And I usually just roll my eyes when people dig up WT articles from 50 years ago, as if they've discovered some golden nugget that's going to expose them.

(thanks breakfast of champions).
So....how exactly did that letter get there?
It's all thanks to this guy:
bible describes atheism as a condition of the heart and is all about seeking what is ephemeral, not acting with insight.
(psalm 14:1, 2) thus it rightly says the whole world is lying in the attraction of what is ephemeral.
(wicked one is not a correct translation.1 john 5:19) thus even believers who pray to god (for material blessings) are actually atheists as they are not trying to be poor in spirit.
Yes those evil atheists are such a plague on humanity, with their promotion of knowledge and enlightenment, and their preference of scientific discovery over archaic superstitions.
to be holy, we must weigh the scriptures carefully and do what god asks of us.
consider aarons sons nadab and abihu, who were executed for offering unauthorized fire, perhaps while inebriated.

We can now drink before meetings!
I think that goes without saying. How else could a person sit through it?

I really though Anne Murray being sold out would make the list.

Yeah, because unrest in the Middle East is such a recent occurrence
