  What do Baptists believe?

  by quellycatface in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm thinking about going to church again because i'm really interested in god (today)!!.

  sometimes i'm so confused and feel like there is no god, other days i do and want to try and get to know him.. i guess i'm scared because of all the bs that went on in the kh.. there is a local baptist church near me that seems nice.

  i'm in the uk.

  Watchtower falsification of its history

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i received an email with the following information that is worth sharing.. the 2011 yearbook goes to great lengths to elevate the truthfulness of watchtower information in even minor details, and criticise information from other sources.

  so it is telling that the 2010 "jehovah's witnesses - faith in action, part 1" has omitted an important element of their history when re-enacting the 1922 cedar point convention.. under the heading "tracing all things with accuracy" the 2011 yearbook states: .

  "jesus said that the faithful slave would be discreet in giving the domestics "their food at the proper time.

  Hello fellow apostates

  by gumby in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  gumby here, thought i'd say hi to everyone.

  my nutbag is still intact but it's a tough road to please others in order to keep a family.

  really tough.. i'm glad this place is still here as it's a haven for you ex-es and a means to help others to see that when man (governing body) is a mediator between christ and oneself, it becomes a cult.. .

  A resource for researchers

  by Nathan Natas in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most xjws want as little as possible to remind them of the error of their ways during the time they were a slave to the watchtower.. this message is not for them.. this message is intended for people who are interested in finding affordable resources for research regarding the history of the watchtower bible & tract society, its practices and its doctrines.. old lighthouse reprints has a couple of new titles.. a new feature is that almost all titles are now available in adobe ebook format.

  they cost less and are more portable!.

  for those who just don't feel right unless they make a tree meet its maker, traditional cellulose-based hard copy version are available.. please add http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?facctid=88659 to your favorites..

  MY APOLOGIES TO ALL

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  looking back over the last few weeks, i think i've been unnessarily rude to some posters and i just want to apologize to anyone who has been on the receiving end of my anger recently.. i believe that i'm so angry, dismayed, devastated and heartbroken over what's happening to my brother in law, that i've been taking it out on others and that's not right.

  it makes absolutely no difference what i think of the wts as a whole, or whether or not americans have a universal healthcare system......none of that makes any difference whatsoever when someone you love and has been like your brother for 35 years is dying and there's not a fucking thing we can do about it.. my sister just called me and there's more bad news, and that's that his disease has now progressed into the acute myeloid leukemia which means he cannot start the therapy they were going to give him, as this is far more serious now.

  they want to start chemo right away, but his blood counts aren't up high enough for him to survive.

  Do You Think Most People Are Prejudiced ----Black, White, Red, etc.???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after reading the terrific thread about the black harvard professor and the allegations being thrown around, i wonder if anyone might not show prejudice in one way or another.

  i kind of think, anyone can be guilty of it.

  i know some blacks that seriously look down upon other blacks simply because of a variation in color.

  Anybody remember a QFR on JW nurses tattling on blood transfusions?

  by Open mind in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i've looked on jwn (first) and watchtower library (second) and can't find a questions from readers that i thought i remembered from the 70s or 80s.

  maybe it wasn't actually a qfr.

  anyway, the gist of the question was, what does a conscientious jw nurse do when, in the course of her duties, she becomes aware of a fellow jw who is accepting a blood transfusion or getting an abortion.
