  Who really are JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES......really.....?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses don't expect to convert the world.

  they expect to educate the world about jehovah's kingdom and his christ.. before: nobody knows about it.. after: everybody knows about it.. how would you measure what people "know"?.

  how well informed is the average citizen in 2010 vs 1879, for example?.

  your learning and working hard to uncover it's true message.

  How did you find the strength to leave?

  by SAHARA in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  to all of you exjws, i'm sure you've been asked this question one way or the other many times and i'm sure the answer is different for many of you, i'd like to know directly from you never having a chance to hear or read many exjw's answers to this.

  knowing that you would be cut off from your family and friends and other consequences for your decision to leave, how did you ever get the strength to do it?

  i mean really, i find it fascinating to know that there are so many of you who were at one time very devout, if not at the very least loyal to one of the most successful mind-contol organizations ever who believed all if not most of what the society taught and still you found the courage to risk everything once you accepted that it isn't what it claims to be.

  response from Ray Franz on generation change

  by isaacaustin in

  thanks for your letter and the thoughts contained.

  others had commented on the latest shift of the interpretation of this generation.

  as you recognize this allows for an unending extension of time and likely stems from an awareness of the approach of the year 2014 marking 100 years since the date of 1914.. .

  Please help re:objections to Thanksgiving?

  by M.J. in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what are the standard jw objections to thanksgiving?

  do they claim there is any kind of a scriptural basis for condemning it?

  i plan on asking someone about this and i'm curious what types of reasoning they might try to throw at me.
