Man Vs. Woman---The Organization's View
by minimus inwomen in the "truth" are considered lower than men or even male children!
for years, females couldn't give talks in the ministry school.
now, interperters who are female must wear a head covering as if they were teaching, mot merely repeating for fear they might offend the angels!.

But they are doing the most important work...the preaching of the good news.
Within the Christian congregation today, there are many Christian women
who are "working hard in the Lord."
In fact, statistics show that "the women telling the good news are
a large army," making up the major part of the army
of Witnesses that Jehovah is using in this time of the end. (Psalm 68:11)
These hardworking Christian women have earned a fine name for themselves
as they struggle to fulfill their role of wives, mothers, homemakers, breadwinners,
as well as Christian ministers. -

I am having some reservations about Barbara Anderson
by JWoods inrecently, there was a very nice thread in which one of our posters apologized for having the temerity to challenge barbara anderson.. i thought it was very nice to see that they made up and put the personal stuff aside.. however, i felt the need to call it like i really feel it - i was very put off by the barbara anderson reply in which she plugged her new promotional meeting.
it brought back memories of that horrid little affair from a couple of years back when she kept posting up "the greatest new thing about blood which will bring down the watchtower society is just around the corner -- and i could tell you but then i would have to kill you, etc."..
just like another jehovah's witnesses prophecy about the coming of the lord in our time.. i am beginning to wonder if perhaps the siren song of self-promotion is getting a little too strong for real life.. ok. i said it.. james - and saying it was not the easiest thing that i have ever done.

The facts are that many have proclaimed that the so called big news
will bring down the JW'S.but the truth is that JW'S are strong worldwide.
No big news have done anything to stop the worldwide brotherhood. -

Good morning. Interesting article.
First to establish a well scripture base we must know that ,the Bible assures us that the angels are well-nigh innumerable. In prophetic vision Daniel saw “thousand thousands that kept ministering to [God], and ten thousand times ten thousand that kept standing right before him.” The apostle John tells that the symbolic heavenly armies numbered “two myriads of myriads,” or 200 million. And repeatedly we read of myriads of angels or holy ones.—Dan. 7:10; Rev. 9:16; Heb. 12:22; Jude 14.
Since Jehovah God is a God of order, it is reasonable to conclude that his myriads of heavenly angels are organized. The Chief One over all the angels is Jesus Christ, the Word, the lone archangel, Michael. (Dan. 12:1; John 1:1; Jude 9; Rev. 12:7)Included among the angelic hosts are the seraphs,and cherubs.And then there are the great body of angels or spirit messengers.
God’s spirit messengers minister to his servants on earth today, which is a most comforting thought: “Are they not all spirits for public service, sent forth to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation?” “Do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that their angels in heaven always have access to my Father who is in heaven.” Important to notice: Not necessarily that each one of God’s faithful servants has an angel assigned to him; but that one angel is assigned to a number of God’s servants on earth.—Heb. 1:14; Matt. 18:10.
Truly, what God’s Word has to say about his spirit messengers, the angels, is both enlightening and faith-strengthening. Hope we all keep learning about Jah's creations including his seravnts the angels. -

Michael Jackson's Death Is Exposing Jehovah's Witnesses In A HUGE Way!!!
by minimus inif you read comments made regarding mj's death, there are tons of people talking about his religion.
the fact that he was a jw that disassociated himself, is giving bloggers all sorts of ammunition regarding the rotten witness religion.
jws are trying to defend themselves and their religion and outsiders are clearly seeing how effed up jws really are.. good..

I was watching the news and in all most comments always point out his religious background as
a JW'S. This surely will wake up some interest one to investigate the JW'S beliefs. -

Jesus's Divinity
by PSacramento injust to confrim, do jw's believe that jesus is divine?.
not that jesus is god, which they obviously don't believe, but that jesus is divine, with the divien qualities of his father?.
also, do jw's beleive or agree that, in the new covenant, jesus has the primary role that was god's in the old covenant?.

Jesus'own words clear the issue my friend. It is clear. This is not the only ocassion that
Jesus pointed out to whom people must worship.You are probably familiar with the gospel accounts of Jesus’ being "tempted by the Devil." (Matt. 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13)
How did Jesus respond to this trialsome experience?
Notice in this Jesus response:Then Jesus said to him: ‘Go away, Satan!
For it is written, "It is Jehovah your God you must worship,
and it is to him alone you must render sacred service."’
[Deut. 6:13]."—Matt. 4:4, 7, 10. -

Atalaya: "Also that only Jehovah is called the Almighty and Jesus a mighty God."
Then that makes two gods, a greater one and a lesser one.
You cannot serve two masters.
Thanks for your comments.As to Christ’s being called "Mighty God," if puny human judges can be called "gods" in the Scriptures (Psalm 82:1-7), is it not appropriate that God’s Son should be called "Mighty God" (Hebrew, ‘ElGib·bohr´)?
Notice, however, that he is not called "God Almighty" (Hebrew, ‘ElShad·dai´),
a term used exclusively for Jehovah. And concerning worship Jesus stated:"The hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him. God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth." (John 4:23, 24)
So Jesus despite having all the power and authority given by his father,Jesus clearly showed that worship must be to his father nothim.

GB says they are NOT responsible for people acting on their counsel
by LUKEWARM in.. *** w98 3/15 p. 22 par.
15 living up to christian dedication in freedom ***.
15if a witness makes decisions on the basis of bible counsel offered by the governing body, he does so of his own volition because his own study of the bible has convinced him that this is the proper course.

15 If a Witness makes decisions on the basis of Bible counsel offered by the Governing Body, he does so of his own volition because his own study of the Bible has convinced him that this is the proper course. Each Witness is influenced by God's own Word to apply sound Scriptural counsel offered by the Governing Body, in full recognition that decisions he makes will affect his personal relationship with God, to whom he is dedicated.-1 Thessalonians 2:13.
I think it is an excellent advice with biblical support.
Many accused JW's for following men instead of God's word.
Now this quote shows that every person after acquring knowledge is mature enough to make
his own decision base on what he or she believe.
