  EMPTY KINGDOM HALL

  by thebigdebate in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have heard from my father (who is an elder about 50 years old) that there is a great seperating work going on within the org.

  he said that almost all of the people my age 25 to 35 have quit going to our hall (about 20 people).

  i have not been to a meeting in about 1 year.

  "Should the Name Jehovah Appear in the New Testament?" WT Aug 1st 2008

  has this new article in the wt been discussed here yet?

  if so i missed it.

  anyway here are some selected quotes with my own thoughts.. bible scholars acknowledge that god's personal name appears in the old testament, or hebrew scriptures.

  Jesus mentioned it so it MUST be true... ?

  by LtCmd.Lore in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  something i don't get... when discussing the accuracy of the flood myth, and the story of jonah, bible believers, dubs for example, will claim that it must be true because jesus mentioned it.. here's what i don't get: isn't it possible that jesus was simply refferencing a fictional event that everyone around him would be familiar with?.

  i do it all the time!

  with my family i will make reference to events in star trek, mash, or whatever as if they actually occurred.. like: "hey i just met someone at work, he was just like frank burns.".

  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.

  Smaller congregations are better?

  by NotaNess in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i keep hearing this from the dubs at work.

  have heard complaints about being in bigger congregations.

  all i can think at those moments is... "do they even realize they are complaining about "jehovah's" arrangements"?

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses LOVE their enemies?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jesus' message differs from every other religious leader of his day in that he encouraged his followers to love their enemy.. are jw's encouraged to love their enemies?.

  they aren't allowed to even pray for disfellowshipped former brethern although they are stray sheep.

  you'll recall jesus said that a fine shepherd would even leave the 99 sheep to go after and return with the "stray".. how do jw's love their enemies?.
