  when you used to go in the field service, did you go out to have 2 more hours on your report, or did you really want to save somebody's life by preaching a message of salvation ?

  Those Written/Oral Reviews

  by WTWizard in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i can remember those written reviews.

  you got them in the kingdumb misery inserts (potential to cheat on them).

  of course, when you got to the kingdumb hell that night, you were supposed to write the answers on a separate sheet of paper.

  When Elders go too Far...

  by BigBloomerz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is just something that really peed me off regarding the elders, is how low they are sinking to get gossip and stuff now, i was in contact with a well trusted friend of mine who used to attend meetings up until 2 years ago, his wife is still in the jw org, he was having a joke around on some text messages with me regarding my man saying "try before you buy" and so on, which i found amusing....lets just say his wife didnt...she snooped on his phone, wrote out the texts he had sent me and gave the transcript to the elders, and now he has to go before a judicial commitee.

  how wrong is that, for a start its an invasion of privacy!

  i was fuming yesterday when i found out.

  Has the WTS changed its view on carbon dating?

  by Jourles in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember back to my high school days when the blue evolution or creation book was all the rage.

  in it, i recall the wts using several reasons as to why we cannot trust carbon dating whatsoever.

  has there been any change in their thinking in the last 15 or so years or any new developments on this front?

  WTS sending "English teachers" to China?

  by Steve_C in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hello all, from a newbie.. i haven't been inside a kingdom hall since 1999, so i'm not up to speed with "organizational" stuff.

  i still get curious, though, since my mom and sister are still active witnesses (but don't communicate with me).

  the other day, an old friend from my former congregation (she's the wife in the only family who will still talk with me, even though i was never df'd) came by the house, i assume while making a return visit.

  Questions by JWs in 1976

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in 1976, my friend bruce price was in contact with jehovahs witnesses who had become disillusioned through the debacle with 1975. bruce was the leading voice among the sda ministry in working for jws.

  at the time, i was a member of the sda church.

  although i left them about 25 years ago, to this day bruce and i enjoy a strong and genuinely warm friendship.. so, in 1976 bruce invited me to a meeting with one of the jws who was leading the disquiet in his congregation in dandenong (victoria, australia).

  Did Russell ask that no publications be written after he died?

  by ackack in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there is a debate brewing on wikipedia over whether russell's will stated that no new publications be made by the watchtower society, and if rutherford violated his will.. the relevant portion from his will reads:as the society has already pledged to me that it will publish no other periodicals, it shall also be required that the editorial committee shall write for or be connected with no other publications in any manner or degree.. .

  what's your opinion?.

  wt 8/15/03: Easing Nature - Is it for Christians?

  by Scully in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  easing nature is it for christians?

  easing nature the very phrase itself brings to mind the odious product of this activity.

  yet, many people have the understanding that this natural bodily function is a practice in which true christians may engage.
