  Paradise Pulped

  by wobble in

  2. relationships

  dear all,.

  this may have been answered before,but a quick search threw nothing up,my question is,why were congregations,some years ago, asked to collect in from all jw's and send back ,along with library copies,all editions of the book "from paradise lost to paradise regained" ( pub.1958) ?.

  what was so embarassing in this book that they wanted to pulp the lot???.

  Has the WTBS ever explained the trinity?

  by wobble in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if i were going to comment on a deep philosophical doctrine, i would first outline what that doctrine was,has the wtbs ever dne this properly with the trinity?

  from memory they have only ever reasoned at the level"one plus one plus one = 3, not one" type of argument,and odd references to trinities in pagandom.. surely a college education would be of benefit to them so they know how to present a thesis?.

  love.

  Why choose Jehovah's way?

  by wobble in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we have had six thousand years or so of satans rule.and yea he has cocked up big time,but what have we got to compare it with?

  we are supposed to choose jehovah's way but we have only "seen" a bit of that in the garden of eden and that didn't go too well,so how do we compare???.

  love.

  I have forsaken my dedication

  by wobble in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i don't think you can, because they are completely fixated with territory maps, hours and doors to knock on (and literature to present).. how many years have jws been active in the uk?

  well over a century.. how many hours were spent "preaching" in the uk last year?

  must be well over 500,000 hours.. if you were to ask a member of the public what jws believe, now many would you have to ask before anyone mentioned god's kingdom?

  Will Armageddon be just?

  by wobble in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is prompted by a thread about how the good news cannot reach all people statistically,my question is, .

  jesus said judgement is based on how people treat his brothers,(matt.

  ) as jdubs beleive only a few thousand of christ brothers(the annointed) remain on earth what basis is there to judge people who have never come into contact with them?.

  list of flip flop on generation

  by wobble in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  sorry to be so useless, i know this has been on here ad infinitum.

  but i can't find a link to a good concise list of all the flip-flops on the 1914 generation.

  i wouldn't trouble you but my still-in wife,who never was a studier, has asked me for an easy to read list of changes,what they were, with refs.to articles.she will not read any comment.i'll have to slip that in verbally,but a list would be such a help,especially if it shows for sure a return to a previous beleif on this.. many tanks.

  " My was baptism not valid"?then fade?

  by wobble in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is prompted by a recent thread about the change in baptism vows in 1985,my question is if someone wishes to fade, would a good method be to say "i feel my baptism was not valid and so i'm thinking of getting re-baptised, and then fade, would this not take away all "jurisdiction" by the congo.

  as you do not recognise youself as a "jehovah's witness" ?

  would it not then be impossible to d'f' or d'a' you?
