  Ray Franz book's available in audio format! Crisis of Consciencs / Christian Freedom

  by Indian Larry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  everybody may already know this but i just happened to discover that crisis of conscience and in search of christian freedom are now available as audio books.

  they are not legal copies as commentary press did not make a audio version, however someone took the time to read every page of both books into a good mike.

  the sound quality is good and they are organized well for a iphone or ipod.

  How Many Out There Have to Hide or Be Stealthy When They Visit This Site? I know I do.

  2. friends

  i cannot look at this site freely, it would make my hubby and son very upset.

  i have to hide what i'm looking at, or try to view this page very late or very early in the morning.

  hubby has taken to getting up at 11:30pm or later, to see what i'm doing on the computer.

  A BIG change the Watchtower will have to face up to . . .

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1995 drew a line of demarcation.

  the doctrinal rudder of freddie franz was gone, the sacred cow of the 1914-generation had been slaughtered and the internet had arrived!.

  it will take a while longer but the time is coming when pre-1995 old timers like the gentleman below will be an impotent force within the society - if that hasn't happened already.

  Was The Internet The Clincher For You To Mentally Leave The Organization?

  by minimus in

  i think it was for me.. i knew a lot of the history of the bible students, russell, rutherford and the "old light".

  .

  once i could see all of the overwhelming evidence right in front of my eyes, there was no ignoring the reality..

  What really ended the book study in private homes?

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's been over 3 years since the book study in private homes was discontinued and some jws are still scratching their heads over it.

  although a letter was read to all congregations explaining that "book study night" would now be "family worship night", there was still much speculation among jws as to the real reason behind this decision (the great tribulation was about to start, jehovah was simplifying the lives of jws, to lessen the burden of poor jws who had no money for gas, etc.)...

  but as we all know, decisions like these from the gb invariably have some ulterior motive behind it... and discussion boards such as this one usually finds a way to dig up the truth for all to see... but after reading several threads on this subject, i'm really not sure we've uncovered all the facts yet.... so i have to ask... what do you believe really ended the book study in private homes?

  If I hear one more person say...

  by iamwhoiam in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "even if we don't agree with new light, we should ask ourselves, where else would we go?

  without this organization, we would never have learned the basic bible truths we have today.".

  this was stated twice in commenting and once by our conductor during our wt study yesterday.

  When Did You Stop Saying Amen

  by BroMac in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for prayers from the platform.. i've "said my own" for a few years now if i find i cant agree with what the brother is praying about.

  i'm constantly amazed by the same old repetitive ramblings and just nonsense that some brothers feel is an acceptable way to pray for a congregation.. once i've finished saying my own i'll listen again to what they are going on about, and round and round they go.

  the worse ones are those who can hardly speak english and i cant understand a word thats said apart from the "...feffull slive... bless bruders sis not here..." blah blah.. and everyone has gone through the public talk prayer.

  Matt 19:6 - WTB$ preaches the sanctity of marriage but see what happens when one partner leaves the bOrg!

  by punkofnice in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  mrs punk was not a happy bunny when i announced i was leaving the wtb$ as it was all a big farce.. she has been quite rude to me, she walked out one weekend and came back 2 days later from staying with a relative.

  she told me about all the negative reasons i left (attributing the 'evil' to me and none to the holy 7 headed beast the gb).

  she has told the teenage kids they are not to listen to me.. she refuses to talk bible and gives me the 'talk to the hand sign' on the basis she refuses to listen to my 'spiritual pornography' (now there's an appealing thought!!).
