redvip2000 is it 25,000 people dying a day of starvation? of course a dick waving competition between the creator of the universe and the devil is far more important

For Christians: What do you think about an Armagedon and the Afterlife
by John Davis ini don't mean for anyone to get into argument over this, i just want to hear what people believe.i hope that no one will mock or argue with someone else about their beliefs, i know that i won't in this topic.. i still believe in a christian god, not what jws believe, but believe that there has to be something after this life.
i am not sure about how armageddon would go, would it be like how evangelicals believe with a rapture or timing or anything, though i still believe in a form of armageddon.
i do think that all good people will go to heaven but i don't believe in a hell.

Sir82, I thought circuit assemblies or whatever they call them are big money spinners because they use smaller facilities or they either own the assembly halls but the expense of using sports stadiums must be astronomical?

to think of the industrial set up of the new releases back in the day from normal book sizes to bound volumes and The Proclaimers book, we are talking about many hundreds of tonnage of freight,boxes and the volunteers who would work the book rooms and distribution points around the stadiums, now nothing ! surely the days of the Regional Conventions must be numbered

very disjointed didn't come across well at all, it didn't help with the ludicrous nonsense they were quoting from active jw's and the official spokesperson from the WTS, and noting whatsoever as to why they shun/dissfellowship members who have simple disagreements with doctrines and are labelled as apostates in which these kind of programmes never address or research properly when contacting or replying to jw's and official spokespeople

Has Robert Ciranko replaced Don Adams as president of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania ?
by EdenOne inrobert ciranko has been a "helper" of the governing body in the writing department.. don adams (born 1925, presumably 91 years old now) has been president of the wtbts since 2000. .
however, in recent official posts (april 2016), robert ciranko is identified as "president of the watch tower".
does anybody know what happened and if this is an official change?.

missed this, glad I caught it, the appointment of Adams was a strange one, always baffled me.

Let's talk about Don Adams.
by Ray Frankz init's interesting that the person of the president of wtbts has figured lesser and lesser since f. franz era.
i was born in the religion in the 90's and i got to know about russel, rutherford, knorr and franz; but i never knew until a couple of years ago that m. henschel was the president in that time.
the same happens with don adams now, the first wt president from the 'other sheep'.

the power lies with the legal dept and probably the service dept to some degree, the GB are mere puppets, could any billion $ corporation leave decision making to utter buffoons like Lett and Morris?

If they stopped the monthly report card ?
by Chook inwitnessing would cease, would it flow on to attendance numbers at meetings and then total decimation of the church..
-

I wouldn't go that far, the D2D work has all but finished and they still plod along, a huge percent of the stupid report card is not worth the paper its written, its meaningless in reality

Did Jesus pre exist? Yes or no?
by UnshackleTheChains inwhen i first became a witness, i always found the teaching about jesus being the arch angel michael hard to swallow.
i did however believe that jesus pre existed as a master worker alongside god (the first of his creation).. but now everything is brought into question having watched anthony buzzard explain why jesus could not have pre existed as it is impossible to pre exist yourself.
also the fact that it all sounds contradictory to suggest, he was already alive millions of years before he was transferred to mary's womb to be born as a human - the son of man?.

Cart Witnesses Today - I am not impressed
by pale.emperor injust approached a cart then with two jw girls holding out mags.
they continued chatting to each other about car insurance when i took the watchtower from one of their hands.. ok, so it looks like i'll have to get the ball rolling.
i asked if they were jehovahs witness.

I think there must have been a directive PE, this has happened to me on at least a half a dozen occasions now
