  Pedophiles and Christianity

  by ISP in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you wouldn't think there is a link but there does seem to be.

  check out this site.. http://www.skeptictank.org/cabuse1.htm.

  it is no surprise that such twisted individuals appear in the 'truth' but i wouldn't say the prevalence of such ones is any greater in the wts than in other christian belief systems.. they all fail miserably.

  Brain-Numbing Food

  by ISP in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  check this out.......... *** w52 2/1 80 jehovah's theocratic organization today ***.

  12 now some may ask, should we accept as from the lord and true the food provided through the discreet slave, or should we withhold acceptance until we have proved it for ourselves?

  if we have gained our present understanding of the bible by feeding at the table set by the slave, if we have been thereby freed from false doctrines and built up in the clean and undefiled worship of god and given a new world hope, we should have some confidence in the slaves provisions.

  Advantages of being a JW

  by ISP in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  clearly there is a great deal of anti-jw sentiment here and elsewhere for that matter.

  such feelings are generally directed at those at the heart of the organisation and there are no such feelings for the rank and file who are often very genuine people.. in actual fact there are some advantages in being a fully loaded jw and to be fair it would be interesting to note them down.

  they can be factual or whimsical or both.

  Keeping a healthy bank account?

  by ISP in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what do you make of the point in the feb 1 2001 wt, page 18 parag15.. 'let us accrue something positive in a spiritual sense each day, building, as it were, a healthy, spiritual bank account.'.

  good works are good works but does their value accumulate some how as funds do in a bank account?.

  i thought this was an unfortunate illustration/metaphor.

  'Tunnel of Doubts'

  by ISP in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  tunnel of doubts.

  this subject was discussed in the 1. feb.01 wt.

  it is an interesting expression, tunnel of doubts as if several doubts merge to produce an overall tunnel from which it could be difficult to emerge.
