  one time, a elder said like "heavenly father jehovah, thank you for the meetings.

  i pray thru jesus name amen" i was so stunned it was a very short prayer.

  January 15th 1983 Watchtower

  by Bring_the_Light in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  paragraph 19-21 are under the heading "fight against independant thinking".

  the question box at the end of the article contains the question "what is an evidence of independent thinking, and what can help us to avoid it?

  the clear answers from the paragraphs are that noting that "gods organization has made adjustments in the past, to point out their fallability is the result of "pride" and independent thinking can be avoided by remembering where you learned bible truths in the first place.

  I'm looking right at these things and I can't believe its there. If you think for yourself, you're wrong and have a personality defect (pride). VERY illuminating, huh?

  REM show last night... my critique

  by dawg in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in art, there can be no wrong opinions, we like what we like and have to offer no explanation for what we like and/or do not like.

  that said... my take on last night's rem concert at lakewood amphitheater.

  ok, so i'm an athenian, that means i'm supposed to love all things athens, georgia is about; but i've never been a big rem fan... in fact, when i was offered front row tickets given by the band themselves, i really didn't want to go.

  Saw REM in Minneapolis many many moons ago. Agreed on the diagnosis. The audience actually got a bit antsy many left halfway through, and there was no call for encore.

  Is Genesis account just a myth?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there are many stories that make we wonder if anything akin to solid reasoning can prop up the bible's accounts of early life on earth.

  but perhaps this scripture is a key:.

  "these are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the lord god made the earth and the heavens, and every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the lord god had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

  illustration about obedience given by a brother at a new kingdom hall in new england:.

  '...do you realize that in the bible there are many instances of situations where jehovah's people were given directions that made no sense from a human standpoint and seemed totally illogical?

  Yep. Kinda scary, but the brightside is a nice finite kool-aid party beats fracturing into dozens of spin-off cults. Just look how Catholicism gave birth to dozens of sects. If we keep them under 1 tent, at least we can keep an eye on them and our families can only be in or leave, not move horizontally. :oP

  my boys are allowed on the bed all day but at night we say "down to the crate" the crate happens to be a very expensive leather couch with many pillows.. they listen to what ever we say, but the human bed seems to be the best place.. i change the sheets every other day.....can't stand the itchy, scrachties!.

  by Blueblades in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  besides talking about the great tribulation and using it to scare the rank and file that it is coming real soon, when was the last watchtower study that dealt with this subject in - depth?.

  i think it was somewhere in the nineties.

  anyone remember and know when the watchtower did an in - depth study on this teaching?.
