  Do the JW's actualy think they have the truth?

  by iknowall558 in

  do the dubs think they have the truth answer:yes.

  the jw's honestly think they have the truth but we all know they dont because they have several doctrinal errors.

  they dont think about it logicaly, if they had the truth wouldn't god help others become witnesses yes,and that means that the jw numbers would go up but they actualy go down.and not to mention all the ''end of the world dates'' that they have proficied.. .

  WILL THERE EVER BE A JW REVOLUTION?

  by african GB Member in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is there a possibility for jw's turning against the gb, perhaps by boycotting the "meetings" and fs?.

  in my opinion, i think we could be heading for something to that "effect"..... i have heard several "brothers" in my cong talking about the "need" to adapt to the ever changing world..... .

  are they gonna go mainstream and avoid a possible revolt?.

  Voyeurism - the new catch phrase

  by Lost-In-Translation in

  2. beliefs

  a friend attended a circuit assembly and told me that the new "catch phrase" is voyeurism.

  it is now claimed that the angels in the days of noah were voyeuristic.

  they entertained themselves by watching humans have sexual relations.

  the connecticut legislature is trying to pass a law that would strip the roman catholic church of its right to handle all financial matters in the state.

  the petition was brought about due to a priest who stole $1 million from his congregation to live a lavish lifestyle.

  here is a link to the video discussing this:.

  Homicidal Domestic Violence

  by jamiebowers in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the other day i read this article that says women who are choked during domestic violence are more likely to be murdered: http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/lifestyle/health/chi-talk-rihannamar10,0,7561220.column.

  near the end of my marriage to a jw husband, choking me was his favorite form of recreation and my worst form of terror.

  although i left 20 years ago, this article really shook me.

  The WTS need a new tentacle of control

  by passwordprotected in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watch tower bible and tract society was founded on the belief that armageddon is imminent.

  in the late 1870s when charles t russell gave up his business interests and began preaching that christ had returned - invisibly, of course - in 1874 and that by 1914 the current system would be over with, a religious model pinched from the adventists and millerites, was established.. 1914 came and went, this old system lumbered on, and the wtbts in the person of russell began re-reading his favourite biblical texts and re-calibrating his 'pyramidological' calculations.

  yes, his prophecies hadn't come true, but the bible students lived to predict another end of the world.
