Anyone know any former long time Bethelites or circuit overseers?
by BourneIdentity inas you know, when you work your whole life, you pay into social security.
at retirement, you collect a paycheck from the government based on a percentage of income you drew for all those years.
do any of you know anyone that had been at bethel for decades and then were laid off?

Who is the Saviour?
by JW Answers inthis is for those who are interested in bible study.. the jehovah's witnesses claim that only the father is god, and thus teach he was the saviour in the old testament.
the bible teaches that god says "there is no saviour beside me".
therefore how is it, that the lord jesus christ is called the saviour of the world?.

JW Answers , isnt it a bit easier if you can briefly explain this belief you have rather than watch the video?

The ineffectiveness of the Watchtower Society preaching work
by RULES & REGULATIONS inhow can the watchtower society claim effectiveness in their 140 years of preaching the ''good news''..... spending billions of hours in ''field service'', having the ''faithful and discreet slave'' lead the preaching work, passing out billions of watchtower literature since the 1870's, while the pentecostals have been more effective using other evangelical methods?

I always use the analogy of if one had the chance to conduct a survey in any large city/capital of any country in the Western world where they have been successful over the decades in regards to growth in these particular countries and conduct a survey with members of the general public at say very busy train stations, shopping areas,airports,sporting events etc and ask one simple question to these hoards of people;" can you explain the kingdom of god that the Jehovah's witnesses have been commissioned to preach to the earth?" I guarantee that 99.9999999999% of any of those that answer wont have the foggiest idea, sums it up really.

Universal Sovereignty
by incognito2014 ini always thought this was nonsense, just an excuse for why there’s suffering.. but just assuming there really is this very long period of human history to allow god to prove his sovereignty.
this issue that affects every being not just on the planet but in the universe .
it’s a big deal and one that is so important that billions of people have had to suffer for 6,000 years.. .

its a most stupid scenario and even the most committed theist must see the madness of it, so basically any angel with thoughts of rebellion could go up to the creator of the universe and lay down a challenge and god just blindly accepts it? regardless of all the work he's put into creating the first couple and housing them in the Garden of Eden, surely there were masses of R&F angles shaking their heads in disbelief? the so called "vindication of gods name" which is meant to be what this dick waving competition is all about makes the credibility and wondrous loving nature of god even more repugnant to me, a stupid, irresponsible,petty,angry,vindictive,sick,perverted,blood thirsty,voyeuristic deity and I'm even more convicted in my vision/thoughts of her/him.

I remember when this was built, it even seemed ridiculous at the time the mid 1980's I think, a vanity project to reinforce the view of great expansion, gods blessing,speeding up the work etc, really quite pathetic and many many more will follow, how low are they sinking? without a trace I believe.

Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Ever Do Anything For Anyone But Themselves?
by minimus ini was thinking of how witnesses were always admonished to take care of their own before they should ever help a worldly neighbor.
i don’t think they ever do anything for the community unless it’s a benefit to them..
