by BluesBrother in
1. watchtower
2. bible
a certain witness,kind of close to me,is insistent that this article confirms her conviction that the wt teaches that jehovah will judge hearts at the "end" and both j w's and non j w's may be saved ....i say that it teaches the opposite.

what do you think?

how do you read it?.

The Rich&Famous JWs WT Dilemma
by frankiespeakin in
1. jw
2. friends
as we all know the wt has a special way of treating famous jws, becuase it puts them squarely on the horns of a dilemma.

on the one hand they have angry jws that can't understand the wt societies laxity, and if the wt does df the worldy people see the wt as demented old self righteous christians.. i found this site that talks about famous jws and makes this observation better than i can:.

http://www.adherents.com/people/pj/michael_jackson.htmlyou might wonder why this is so interesting to me.

Has Anybody Here Converted to Judaism?
by Robdar in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i've studied many religions since i left the jws.

i've flirted with a few and have actually thought about joining, but in the end i didn't because it didn't feel right--it didn't resonate with me.

in 2001, the year i discovered this forum, i started reading judaism 101 and really enjoyed it.

What I Learned from Bro Lett's DC Talk
by Rohag in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
what i learned/derived from steven lett's dc talk (thanks again, ynot, for providing access to the .mp3 files!).

brother lett - or the committee that produced the talk - really loves food metaphors.well-dressed people, especially children, produce a good witness.if you're an apostate, chances are bad conduct/secret sin/moral depravity made you that way.

apostasy is usually founded on sin and rarely on conviction.the bible is an insufficient - or overly cumbersome - guide to godly conduct.
