More on the Public April Fool's Issue (WT 4-1-09)

by studier in

not only did the public watchtower issue attempt to screw with educate those who believe in being born again, but their preach to teach your children article (pg 24-25) also reinforced the idea of keeping away from those who aren't jws worship false gods.

reminds me of their recent meanderings in their april study edition, only this one has been dubbed down simplified to brain wash teach the children.

a small box on the bottom of pg 29 relates the catholic observence of lent to pagan practices.. i'm not any good at a blondie type rehash, but this issue makes me wish i was.. for those who are interested in the parts of this issue that were not already posted and do not have a copy of their own, i scanned the issue in its entirety and put in a searchable pdf format.. http://www.sendspace.com/file/0amdvy.

Congregation Get-Togethers: In or Out?

by TreadClimberMaster in

i was reading redpill2006's post and i noticed that some mentioned that get-togethers or parties have been largely discouraged.

i stopped attending meetings in 2003/2004 and i remember my congregation still had get-togethers, although they were few and far between.

they were not completely discouraged though, has this changed?

studier

I'd like to know this too. The local hall near me holds parties and such.

The end of the gentile times....

by digderidoo in

i have been having a serious dicussion on another site with a jw.

so far i think i have got my point across regarding 1914 and how the date wasn't actually predicted.

whereas he has come back and said that they did in fact predict "the end of the gentile times".. to a point he is right, russell and his associates did say this.

Just to let you know....I've been watching that other board and have been waiting for someone with more knowledge than myself to respond. Unfortunately my 'bible chronology' is 'just slightly' (or extremely however you want to put it) under developed! :p Just so you know that your efforts are not wasted. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

SCANNED ARTICLE ON BLOOD FRACTIONS 'WORKBOOK'

by Mary in

i'm not sure if this has ever been posted, but here's the uh "workbook" that all jws are given regarding blood fractions.

of course, the hypocrisy shines through as when it asks "are fractions also covered by the command to abstain from blood?

we cannot say" and "your decisions should be your own and should not be based on someone else's conscience.

Thanks Blondie!! 'much appreciated!

edited to add: love your weekly study comments :)

Do they state anywhere specifically that blood transfusions are a DA/DF'ing offense? If so where?

My Avatar and yours

by LockedChaos in

jw
friends

just curious .

any symbolism or meaning to your avatar choice?

mine is actually a gif .

studier

Mine is my youngest girl, when she was less than two. She is now almost four!! I 'played' with her picture...that's what I got.

I use it because she always reminds me to be myself, for she loves me just the way I am. She is also the spitting image of me at that age and her innocence is absolutely priceless.
