for some maybe it is the reason why we left the JW religion, because we (well at least me) did not like the God of the bible. So for me this thread is very okee and to the point with that....

I can only speak for myself,... it was just all those things in the bible that make me realise how strange that whole conecpt is, and then after I realized more that JW's were even more weirder in their ideas on some topics...
SO for me it makes sence. thanks for posting

Yearbooks= Does Bethel "worship" new Watchtower buildings and branches?

by Witness 007 in

the yearbook is always beaming with pictures, descriptions, and glowing testamony of the new buildings the watchtower purchased, renovated or built.

is this in fact "building worship"?

i mean do the poor 3 million witnesses who meet in shacks on dirt floors, really care or understand these pictures, from their rich western society brothers?

It looks like it, in a limited way indeed.....

those people from the more poor countries like mine, do not have that feeling, that it is all rich. It is relatively to other buildings, churches etc not too bad, and far away.
They don't care to much for those pictures.

Maybe a bit more for the regional bethel building which can be quite nice in comparision with the average buildings in those countries. And teh stanard of living of the bethelites, CO, DO etc, is mostly a lot higher then 'nornal' brothers and sisters. I think that this last is much more painfull then the building in crooklin...

How many Witnesses would stop going to meetings if..............

by TooBad TooSad in

how many witnesses would stop going to the meetings right now if they were not tied to the.

organization due to family members who are active and are blinded by wt teaching?.

how many husbands, like myself, go to meetings so as not to destroy their marriage?.

if nothing in your friends and family would change, I would guess it is closer to 50%

Question about a WT song....

by DublDipd in

just thinking about a song that we used to sing at the kh....cannot remember the name of the song, but it was quite popular at the assemblies.. the questionable lyrics were, "fear not those who kill the body, but cannot destroy the soul" it continues on with "to the end continue faithful, i will take you to your goal".. this was from the old songbook (remember, the purple one).

has the wt$ changed the lyrics to this song?

do they sing it anymore?
