Will the GB get rid of the WBTS?
by jefferywhat in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
this is an out there discussion, and probably running a little ahead of the organisation but.....

ever since rutherford took charge, the organisation has over shadowed the actual "hands on" worship, i.e.

in one year alone, it was pointed out on this forum, if a witness read all of the literature and the bible as prescribed, it would be like 120 pages of the bible and over 3000 pages of watchtower printed material.

after the ambiguous response by the wts to the nbc broadcast, i would like to know how many of you had an "elder chester molester" in your own congregation?.

we had an elder that molested his daughter's best friend when she was 14 years old.

the elders in the congregation tried to keep the matter quiet and handled the matter privately.

we have such an interesting group of people from around the world on this board.

it might be interesting to have a thread where you discuss a hobby, something interesting that happened in the past, somewhere you've been, etc.. not deep, dark confessions - just interesting stuff.. .

The ascension of King David to heaven
by Leolaia in
1. watchtower
2. bible
there is a rather obscure statement in acts 2:34 that specifies that "david himself never ascended to heaven".

the obvious question that arises from this remark is -- who ever believed that david ascended to heaven?

to answer this, we need to look where else but to the pseudepigrapha.
