  If someone wrote a letter to wbts today and asked the question about membership in Un as NGO....would they receive such a letter as this as an explanation? Or would they be accused of listening to apostates and questioned as to where they got the info??

  When was Jesus born?

  by Anti-Christ in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wt always put a lot of importance on the subject that jesus was not born the 25 of dec. now my question is why is there two different stories in the bible about jesus birth?

  in luke 2 there is one story and in matthew there is an other.

  in luke it says that jesus was born during a census when quirinius was governing syria but in matthew it says that he was born when herod the great was still alive.

  JC can you do a cliff's notes version? a summary of sorts? in a nutshell (with a box around it) for those who have lack of time and lack of concentration. Something more helpful to those of us who just want a short forthright answer? have mercy on the slow....

  we see alot of topics on the board about the end of the wbt$..i don`t think that will happen in our lifetime........so..lets change our focus..kingdom halls are getting fewer and fewer jw`s in them..congregations are being dissolved and kingdom halls are sold off..many jw`s are very unhappy and we see alot of them on this board.....the wbt$ is a billion dollar organization,they will survive for along time to come..........how about the jehovah`s witness`s?.......with fewer and fewer members..information about the wbt$ on the internet..and..some very depressed jehovah`s witness`s looking for a way out of the cult they are in.....will the "jehovah`s witness`s" survive?...outlaw

  wouldn't it be fun to see Anderson Cooper doing a documentary on cults alive and well in USA.... " Paradise..Or Another Waco?"

  I think some national publicity could kill it. Also, wouldn't the JW's heads really be spinning when wtbs starts restricting their television NEWS shows???

  What now?

  by faundy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i stopped going to meeting over a year ago (profile explains why) and have enjoyed doing all the stuff that comes with being a non-witness; ie going out, meeting new people, lying in on a sunday, never having to wear dowdy skirts, etc.

  however since coming on the forum and commenting more, i have realised that eventually i will wonder about faith again.

  i still have a bible, the nwt, and even though some may say it's not a good version i do find it pleasant to read, and it's what i'm used to.

  I would suggest that you spend Sunday mornings at Barnes and Nobles. Have a cup of coffee and curl up in one of those soft overstuffed chairs with a few good books to browse through. I would suggest you start with self-help ...a little psychology and philosophy might be good spiritual browses.

  Don't jump from frying pan to fire. A lot of those Christians think they are chosen also. They think they are going to fly out of here real soon.

  Watchtower articles on Muslim religion? Are they afraid to speak out?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  can anybody quote any articles which speak out against the radical muslim terrorists?.

  the watchtower made its reputation in the 1900's slamming catholicism and christendom.

  surely you'd expect them to lash out against the muslim extremes.. or, are they afraid to do so?.

  the wts has written a hand full of articles in the last 30 years very much against Islam. In fact some of them were talked about right here a few years ago. after 9-11 these articles were brought up. There is a muslim site just about the jw's, and i'm sure he has wt articles on his site. i lost all my files into cyberspace. but will look around and see if i can find them. john

  When you find them, make lotsa copies and send them to bin laden and each of his team.

  Earth to GB: Questions that Demand Answers!

  by Room 215 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in recent conversations with several of the local jws, including elders, a number of recent decisions by the watchtower leadership have provoked questions of the types that most jws lack the temerity to ask:.

  --- what is really behind the decision to recast production of the watchtower magazine into two versions, one an ``insiders only" edition and the other for public consumption?

  besides reducing the volume of printing (the ``privileged" edition intended solely for jws would naturally be produced in much smaller quantities than the ``public" version, is there any reason to suspect that the gb seeks to shield its core kool-ade message to the initiated from scrutiny by a less indoctrinated and therefore a more-likely-to-be critical public?.

  Is coffee next? What is that going to do to pioneers that already depend on coffee to get going in the morning before the next increase in the workload you put on them. What about colas, tea, and chocolate?

  The Mormons beat them to it. Mormons don't allow converts to have any of the above mentioned.

  Fresia...my story

  by fresia in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hello all, i must say it is really very hard for me to know where to start.

  but i guess a little bit of background before i became a jw may have to be said.

  i came from a disfunctional family and at the age of 3 was sent to homes, returned back to my family only later on to be sent back to other instituations, mainly due to neglect, but later on due to my running away from an abusive home.. my mother was religious, permiscuious but still religious, this turned me of religion in general but i liked and believed in the bible.

  Sad Sept KM QB part tonight. They have a plan. Sad.

  by oompa in

  2. friends

  the question does say it is witnesses getting these study groups up.

  one scripture you will not hear during the part is the one scripture jesus himself spoke of small groups getting together, this one:.

  matt 18:20 "for where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there i am in their midst.".

  It sounds like the WBTS has taken away your authority as head of your household.

  Where are your wife's priorities? Is she more concerned with friends and relatives? Doesn't she realize the stress of all this has lead to a handful of meds for you?

  I think a vacation is in order for the two of you. Get away from all this garbage for awhile. Go to that "little cabin in the mountains". Hire a deprogrammer if you can't get through to her.

  Hey. there was a thread on here about a really good show on cults on discovery channel. Find it and make some popcorn for the two of you.

  I am sorry oompa. I feel so bad for you.
