  DC 2010 Release - The Origin of Life and its many misquotes

  by Designer Stubble in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  looking up all the references is a lot of work - one of the reasons nobody normally verifies these, but trust the writers.

  as you will see, the writers are banking on this, but it is not a good thing to trust the wtbts writers.

  please find the bibliography worked out for quotes 38-51, covering the heading "what about human evolution".. interesting is that many quotes are from the [u]preface[/u] of books, where the authors honestly explain the difficulties and assumptions related to evolutionary science.. [b]what about human evolution?[/b].

  Most-Ignored Scriptures by JWs

  by Mad Sweeney in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower has been known for over 130 years as a great scriptural cherry-picker.

  they pick out disparate unrelated verses and combine them to support the wackiest of wacky doctrines.. on the other hand there are many scriptures they almost never address, whether because they contradict wt doctrine or because they simply don't have a clue what they mean or how to spin them to the wt advantage.. one of these is revelation 19:1 that mentions a "great crowd" "in heaven.

  " the only time it is ever brought up it is dismissed.

  i was under the impression that wtbts were selling up because they were short of funds......wouldn't this money be better spent donated elsewhere?.

  Evolutionists - please help!

  by Georgiegirl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok. (taking deep breath) i am finally at that point in my recovery where i am ready to look at evolution as more than a loose theory which is clearly disprovable by the fact that all the bones proving it could be in a coffin.

  or, um, some illustration like that.. i feel like first i have to "unlearn" the jw teaching of evolution to learn what "real" evolution is.

  then, learn about that and then see how i feel.

  Anyone here from the North West of England!

  by losthusband in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i continue my research to enable me to help my family see that they are not actually in "the truth", i am am looking to meet with a "real-life" ex jw, or at least converse with one via email etc.. it does appear that there are some differences in organisational rules/regulations/enforcement across the world, so i would like to speak to someone who is local and familiar with the uk set up.. i don't have any particular questions etc.

  at the moment, it would just be nice to have a friend who i can ask help from and maybe even offer some support myself.......maybe even buy them a pint!!!.

  cheers!

  1914.....1919......Where did these dates come from?!?

  by losthusband in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  whilst trying to discuss the history of jwism with my family, the 1914 and 1919 dates were brought up!.

  is there a definitive topic/article which discusses these dates?.

  i have heard talk of pyramids, and no scriptural basis at all.

  Are 800 new JWs really baptised per day?

  by losthusband in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i came across the quote below on a yahoo answers page discussing the growth of religon:.

  i'm one of jehovah's witnesses and on average every day 800 people are baptized as jehovah's witnesses.

  these are individuals who have studied the bible for a period of time and have to show that they understand, truly believe and want to live by god's standards.
