  the new world translation (nwt) is published by the watchtower bible and tract society.

  this is the organization that jehovahs witnesses belong to.

  Fairly reliable
  
  I use "Holman Christian Standard"
  There are many others too
  
  Can use just about any translation
  as long as you know where the land mines are

  So-and-so is no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Freedom!

  last night i was sitting in the service meeting listening to a brother read the announcements.

  one main part of the announcements was to read part of the km that had to do with the upcoming two day circuit assembly (ours is next month ... even though we just had the district convention last month ... geez).

  the km article talked about how the circuit assembly would warn us against satan's new tools--the internet, education, and entertainment.

  Totally agree
  It takes effort and study
  to free oneself from
  the mind control
  
  I was out for 28 years
  and just recently learned
  that I still had residual
  blocks
  
  I still wonder what may be lurking

  What teaching did you find unacceptable that made you question the WTS?

  the selection of the society in 1919 as the faithful and discreet slave after jesus spent nearly 5 years observing them.

  jesus must have had some good lsd.

  For me
  an attitude thing
  
  I made mistake
  willingly paid price
  
  Continued to get hounded
  Continued to get hauled before JC
  Continued to get harassed by
  couple of elders
  
  So I left
  
  Found out later
  presiding elder had a case of as*
  for my father that had been on JC
  that had DF his niece
  
  Great
  Real loving attitude
  
  Later in life learned all the
  other crap
  
  Clincher has been that
  they are a dangerous mind control CULT!!

  That's good Stilla
  A glimmer of thinking
  
  Now that gas prices are dropping in the U.S.
  will they re-instate the home book study??
  
  It's a lame excuse to begin with. Maybe start
  a rumor?

  at the bookstudy on thursday, one of the elders that is "investigating" me called on me to comment.

  he didn't call on me to pray though.

  afterward, he gave me a km.

  this week (elders name) called on our house whilst 'working' our street, despite our having a sign stating 'no religious callers' that he has seen before.. i asked him politely to put his bible away in view of this, he rufused as i am "not the head of the house".

  My opinion
  
  Don't make it too detailed
  or put in too much information
  
  Keep it VERY simple
  No need for any more confrontation
  than is absolutely necessary
  
  Their eyes will glaze over and
  it will sound like an adult in a
  Charlie Brown cartoon
  (wha,wha,wha,wha,wha)
  
  A formal request for no calls to
  be made should be honored
  
  If not...............

  Why don't JW's have their own school for young people?

  this is something that i have been asked several times and have wondered myself.

  it would alleviate all of the uncomfortable situations involved with flag saluting, birthday parties, etc...

  Cheapskates
  
  It's not real estate
  It doesn't sell books/magazines
  It isn't measurable
  It isn't good business
  
  They would have to follow government rules
  
  Or
  It just never crossed their narrow, selfish,
  cultish, controlling minds

  What does The Watchtower really give to its followers?

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i think this question deserves a thread of its own;.

  what really does the watchtower provide to its followers?.

  they take (and really demand) people's time, energy, and resources.

  I feel exonerated

  by John Doe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for a while i feel i was implicated by a scatological quagmire of ruffians who wanted nothing more than to cast doubt on the magnanimous glory that is me.

  now i feel justified in gaining ascendancy over their impotent crescendo of inane and asinine banter, and thank god that my glory survives unscathed.

  as such, i will continue to bless this board with my insights at no charge, other than to exact your praise and worship.
