  New 2008 Rules for A$$emblies?

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we know that the a$$emblies have become more programmed every year.

  they did away with food service.

  they cut off the great outdoors.

  The day they do stuff like that I would imagine a mass exodus from the WTBTS. Maybe that's wishful thinking.

  report back to Herod who wanted Jesus killed. Has anyone else heard this? I find it disgusting for them to
  make such a horrible statement like that.

  Would the couples be disfellowshipped if they miss one night? Does oral sex count as doing "it"?

  What is the HIDDEN purpose of the Watchtower corporation?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  why does the average man or woman on the street only have a vague awareness of who jehovah's witnesses are and what they stand for?

  isn't it weird they know next to nothing after over a hundred years of door to door work???.

  ask yourself why this has been such an ineffective ministry.. one actor, tom cruise, has raised more awareness about his own religion (scientology) than all the watchtower magazines placed at a million households.

  I think it's all about real estate ... they are buying up land and plopping down buildings.

  Does anyone in the WTBTS receive a paycheck? Where does the billions of dollars go? Are Third-World rectangular mud huts expensive to build?

  They would simply rewrite their doctrine to whatever year the man came from. 3023?

  "Okay, new light ... those who remember 1914 - whether or not you lived or had children or your children's children who were anointed and ... ah, you take Daniel's prophecy of days and years and multiply by 100 with Revelation and, uh, and ... SCREW IT! WE MADE IT ALL UP!"

  what have jws got against beards ?

  by looloo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  and it really used to annoy me that jesus and john the baptist both had such neat and well trimmed beards in the watchtower literature , how unlikley would that be in reality ?

  also they never wore a suit so why do "true christians "have to wear one , is all about appearences by any chance and giving a false impression ?

  Yeah, the WTBTS wants all men to be clean shaven because their appearances would be more favorable in public.
  There's absolutely NO SCRIPTURE to enforce this and they tend to look away if a Brother attempts to challenge
  this rule, but that Brother would get a "talk" in the back room to "straighten him out".

  I agree. Jesus had a beard and aren't we supposed to imitate Him? Oh, only in personality, of course. I once
  worked with a Brother who had a handlebar mustache and he never shaved it. Mustaches are "grey area" though.

  Peace!

  Beards make the men look rebellious.

  Why Aren't There Windows in the Newer Kingdom Halls?

  by StAnn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've driven by several newer kh's in the past few years and noticed that none of them have even so much as one window.

  just double doors on the front (with no windows) and a solid door on the back.

  what's up with that?

  You need a window to look outside and daydream.

  StAnn, I found this note in the trash can in the back room of your congregation ...

  Hmmm ...
