Are the Jehovah's Witnesses, under the direction of the GB Jah's org?
by isaacaustin inplease let active jws comment here first.
i am especially inerested in their response as to whether the governing body is god's channel of truth, leading the members of the congregations, the sum of whom cumulatively make up jehovah's organization.
if so, why, and on what basis..

I'm not an active member, although I do go to the odd cultfest every now and then.
You asked that active JW's comment on here first. What do you expect them to say? First off, any active JW on here should be ashamed of themselves, after all, it's sites like this that the WTB$ warn them against.
Anyway, back on topic........
Jehovah is tool. He doesn't exist, he can't exist. Read the bible, cover to cover and you'll see for yourself that the god of the bible cannot be a real entity. Therefore, in my opinion, the GB are just normal men, who have had it good.

When you where at the Demon Hall, did you ever get a talk about how easy it was to serve Jehovah?
I was having a conversation with a friend recently about this and I wrote down what is expected of a Jehovah's Witness;
- Go to 4 meeting per week. This includes getting ready twice a week for the meetings. if you've got kids, you've got to get them dressed and ready to. A good brother (or sister) goes and picks up one of the elderly brothers/sisters on his way to the meetings. Therefore, travelling to and from the Demon Hall is included also.
- Preparation for 3 of the 4 meetings.
- Going out on the ministry on the weekends, but it's also best if you can go out during the week to.
- Reading the montly editions of the Watchtower and Awake!
- Daily bible reading.
- Family study.
- Personal study.
- Prayer.
- Prepare to go to 1, 2 and 3 day assemblies. This involves the same sort of stepsas going to the meetings, but on a much larger scale.
- Going to the Memorial.
- Calling up brothers/sisters to arrange to go to the ministry.
- Preparing yourself for your return visit(s).
- Preparing yourself for your bible study.
- Cleaning the Demon Hall
- Shepherding Visits
- Lunch with the Gay CO (our's is gay you see. Not that I have a problem with that, but I always thought Jehovah did).
Can anyone add other points?
You see, it's not easy at all.

Amazing Governing Body threw out a Gay a Pedophile and an Apostate in it's ranks!
by Witness 007 ini find it incredible that these men who are supposed to be the best most spiritual men the witnesses have to offer, yet in the 70's 80's period one edward chitty was gay...leo greenless was a pedophile and we even had an "apostate" ray franz who turned on the organisation.
goes to show no human organisation is run perfectly.....can we expect more bumps in the "governing body road?
hope so!.

The current CO in our circuit is gay.
Now that I'm out of the WTBS prison, I find it very hard to understand why so many individuals still believe in their crap?
Anyway, long live the Spaghetti Monster!!

Who is your Spiritual Guide?
by Butterflyleia85 income, now, you who say: today or tomorrow we will journey to this city and will spend a year there, and we will engage in business and make profits, whereas you do not know what your life will be tomorrow.
for you are a mist appearing for a little while and then disappearing.
instead, you ought to say: if jehovah wills, we shall live and also do this or that.

Science and only science.
I used to believe in the guy in the sky, but then realised how stupid it was to believe in a genocidal maniac.
Read The God Delusion guys. You'll understand what I mean.

Did anyone notice how in Genesis, Jehovah created the first sword? You know, the one that spun around and kept Mr. & Mrs. Adam out of Kew Gardens?
Hmm, so if Jehovah created the first sword, doesn't that mean he created the first weapon? In effect, Jehovah created the first war.
Oh, and Jehovah sucks. He sucks ass.

The name of the Father is "Jesus".
by Chalam ini am sure the title of this thread will be a little contentious with some, certainly any active jws but here goes, read the biblical text for yourself.. .
john 17:11-12 (new international version)11i will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and i am coming to you.
holy father, protect them by the power of your namethe name you gave meso that they may be one as we are one.

Other than the bible, can anyone show me compelling evidence that Jesus Christ ever existed? I can prove that he didn't, so over to you Christians.

"Jehovah opened the mouth of the ass and she said to Balaam: "What have I done to you that you have beaten me three times?...am I not your She-ass that you have ridden on all your life long until this day?"
I'm sure I've heard this line in a porn film..
