  Interesting Comment From an Active Elder

  by DarioKehl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was recently speaking to an elder "off the record" while helping him do some house repairs.

  i have a comfortable enough relationship to speak openly with him about things, but am careful to disclose the extent of my disbelief in wt doctrine.

  anyway, this guy wouldn't last a day in the mafia because he can't keep anything confidential.

  How many CREATIONISTS don't believe that we orbit the sun?

  by 2050 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the ones that i have met (bible believers) all seem to accept the current scientific consensus that the earth orbits the sun.

  i'm not saying that they all reject bible truth but i suspect that the majority do..

  Marrying Outside the Organization

  by cameo-d in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the leader of the oshkosh salvation army is packing up and preparing to leave the community he served.. captain johnny harsh is suspended and will most likely be terminated from his position.

  it's because he's planning to marry someone outside the organization.. back in june, his wife died unexpectedly.

  now he's engaged to a woman who isn't affiliated with the salvation army, and that is against salvation army rules.. by talking to the media, captain harsh knows he could lose his current suspension pay but he's taking a stand, saying the rules need changing.. "the archaic rules of the salvation army are man-made, not god-made.

  Every JW should be asked...

  by Honesty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the following 2 questions when they arrive at your door with the watchtower society's 'good news' and their jesus (the prehuman angel michael, the human jesus and a resurrected spirit creature [6/15/06 watchtower page 30]) who is 3 persons in one:.

  the first question is, if you truly abstain from blood, how can you belong to a religion that allows parts of blood?.

  the second question is, would you donate blood so that the fractions allowed by the watchtower society could save the life of one of your jehovah's witness brothers or sisters?.

  JW runs when he hears the word "Jesus"

  by Honesty in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this morning i was in the office of a company that i do business with.

  3 women were in the office and they all asked me how i was doing since i had major surgery last month.. i told them that i was recovering but it was kind of disappointing when i woke up in the recovery room instead of at the pearly gates.. one of the women said, "god must have more for you to do here.".

  at which i replied, "yes, there are so many lost people who don't know jesus.".

  Defence of watchtower society Links

  by reniaa in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i thought long and hard before making this thread, that many will not agree with it but i think there needs to be balance and people to realise there are alternate viewpoints out there on many of these subjects, the ones that are most spoke about on this forum.

  i was recently sent a full message containing mary's book and these links give the rebuttal to many of her points.

  those that are still open-minded enough feel free to look over them even if in the end you still don't agree at least you have heard both the defence as well as the attack as they are on the internet.
