  We have the truth - part 2

  by MutualRespectPlease in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does doing what is right in god's eyes mean we have to use only bible terms?

  i know the organization is not perfect.

  is there strong evidence that he has his people here on earth that although not perfect, are doing his will?

  i will be respectful.

  but in reading past posts it seems we are allowed to speak frankly?

  i think jehovah's witnesses have the truth.

  all Watchtower material contains coded messages.

  by under_believer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  under_believer has joined the mason/illuminati/shapeshifting lizardman conspiracy theory crowd!

  everything the watchtower writes for witness consumption has a subtext.

  there is a difference between what they actually write, which anyone in the public can read, and what they actually mean.

  1914, Generation doctrine belief change!

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had the dubious pleasure of explaining the 1914 generation change doctrine to a relative who has been a jw for all of his life the other day.

  he didn't even know that there had been a generation change and that the wt was no longer claiming that those alive in 1914 would still be alive when armageddon struck.. however, he said he would only believe me if i could tell him the exact date of the watchtower that explained this change.. though i know it is 1995, i do not know the exact date/issue and he refused to research it claiming it would show lack of faith on his part if he questioned his beliefs....but he said he would look it up if i told him which issue it was.. so, please, could anyone direct me to the exact issue in which this world shattering event was revealed?.

  i remember, many jws, especially elderly ones being shocked at this revelation, but obviously this particular relative was not concentrating at the time!!

  Service is so easy now

  by coaster in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i just knew the gb would find a way to keep on going when the end never seems to come.

  well, new light shining brightly we all recently learned that the 144k are still being selected.

  no more need to "graft" new ones onto the broken branch.

  German KM 09/07 Translated! Watchtower cracks down on study groups.

  by drew sagan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is the best that i could do, but i think it gets the main points of the articles across.

  i wouldn't bet my life on this translation, but i think it is good enough for our purposes.

  question box.

  A NEW Flock book has been released, with notes by a Presiding Overseer

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for several years there has been available a pay attention to yourselves and to the flock book in pdf and html format.

  this book has proven to be extremely valuable in exposing the morally questionable activities of the watchtower society.

  now we have a new version that is even more valuable because it contains the hand-written notes of a presiding overseer, some notes as recent as late 2005. these notes are frequently dictated to elders by a circuit overseer or district overseer in order to avoid liability (the wts can deny every giving such instructions).

  100 foreskins for your daughter

  by Zep in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  thought dating and marriage was tough in the year 2000...well just check out what david had to go through.. david wants to marry michal, sauls daughter.so whats he have to do?.

  samuel 18:25-28. at that saul said: "this is what you men will say to david, "the king has delight, not in marriage money, but in a hundred foreskins of the philistines".

  so david rose and struck down among the philistines two hundred men, and came bringing their foreskins and giving them in full number to the king to form a marriage alliance with the king.. lol
