i have just been informed that the watchtower society lovingly stated that all black people would become, over time, white.
this would happen when the earth is to become a paradise.. please tell me that what i have heard are the mutterings of a fool and can't possibly be true!.
my wife is of mixed-race origin and i quite like her the way she is.

dear all,.
i am currently researching information on the first bible students (charlie t. russell included) for a new jwb article that i am working on.. i have been told that good old charlie took a lot from the seventh day adventist faith.. is this true, or should i say, is this fact?
if so, are their any publications or websites that can back this up?.

on saturday, 35 jehovah's witnesses gathered in their kingdom hall near frankfurt and sat over coffee and cake (for whatever reason, maybe pioneer school or some other event).
suddenly a 20-year-old man (according to most sources "not a jw yet, but wanted to become one"; though one source claims that he would have been an auxiliary pioneer) took a knife from the cake buffet and killed a 45-year-old bethelite (maybe a circuit overseer).. today the murderer was killed by a train - supposedly suicide.. .

He was demon possessed.
revelation 4:11 - 11 you are worthy, our lord and god, .
to receive glory and honor and power, .
for you created all things, .
Firstly, there is zero, I repeat, zero evidence that points to a supreme being having created living things. Therefore, the title of this thread needs to be reassessed.
But, let's, for the fun of it, say that there actually was a "God", "Deity", or "Supreme Being" that created life. Should that being expect to receive dedicated respect? No.
I was created by two human beings (I hope). One of them deserves my respect and love, whilst the other deserves to be locked up and tortured for the rest of their existence. Just because they created me doesn't give them the right to extract respect from me, their creation.
Only harsh dictators that run tyrannical governments demand the respect your "God" would like.
See a pattern developing here?

as i was flipping through some magazines in the check out line today, it dawned on me that the wts could very well save itself.. it claims that the watchtower and awake!
magazines are the most widely circulated journals in the world.
so why the hell are they not capitalizing on this popularity by selling advertising space in the magazines?
I actually think that's a good idea. As we are entering the world of eLocationism and Social Networking, the WTS could sell ad space to the territories that it distributes the mags to.
They could make a killing (in more ways than they are already).
I have a feeling that they could turn to it. If they don't I can't see them being around before I kick the bucket.

if you were even born into a religion, would you feel that you had to get out?
( the only religion that i know of where people get out and often never go to any other religion is the jw religion)..
Pagan.
i created a trilogy of short documentaries (about 3 minutes long each) exploring some of the claims and assertions in the watchtower's new brochure was life created?.
i intend to upload the third one in the next few hours; just need to tweak a few things:.
the basis for some of your beliefs, part one.
Brilliant James!
I would love it if you could write an article on my blog, www.JehovahsWitnessBlog.com about your experiences. If interested, please let me know by emailing me via the site.
Kind regards
Carlos
i'll start -.
i have officially gotten 2 out so far, which is more than i ever got into it, with the exception of my son that i begged not to get baptized.
he, however, is disfellowshipped now and wants nothing to do with the organization.
Hello my fellow sunshines,
I don't like plugging my websites on here too much, but it was this forum and the brilliant minds that write the articles on here which got my blog, www.JehovahsWitnessBlog.com (JWB) up and running.
To my knowledge, JWB has thus far broken through the cult mindset of 9 Jehovah's Witnesses, with the direct result of 2 readers disassociating themselves (according to their emails).
My other blog, www.AtheistsWeekly.com has helped a few Jehovah's Witnesses see the bible and god, etc. for what it really is, although thus far, not many Witnesses/Ex-Witnesses are reading it, which is a shame.
Reporting System
Maybe we could also create a report card system on here to? Just like the reporting system the Witnesses use, there would be no way to prove the stats on your monthly report, but I have "faith" that you all will report accurately.
Kind regards,
Carlos
my father will not leave me alone.
i need your suggestions on what to do.. my father is elderly and his health isn't good.
still, he pioneers.
Nickolas, when I was 15 years old, I told my loving pioneer mother that I no longer wanted to be a part of the cult, she tried to poison me. So "gone and dead" is exactly what I want.
Carlos.
my review is that its not worth the read.
found nothing any diff to what id have expected from it.
cant understand what the big fuss is about it.
So it didn't spiritually nourish you in any way?
