  Has anyone seen the 4/15/2010 Watchtower with their own eyes?

  by HappyGuy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i haven't followed the generation change in the doctrine that closely, just read a few snippets of the overlapping generations doctrine.

  i find this hard to believe even for the pathological liars the governing body.. has anyone seen the 4/15/2010 watchtower with their own eyes?.

  can anyone validate that the wtbts really is saying this overlapping generation idea the way it is being quoted on the internet in a few places?

  New unique book on JWs published

  by InquiryMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a book on jws containing contributions from more than 10 professionals, giving different angles on jw doctrine, organization, life and culture has been published by the norwegian university press publishing ho... a jw is also contributing, allowing the jws to give a self-presentation.... it is rolf furuli who has written that part, he is also coordinator in an oslo congregation and is working at the university of oslo.. in fact, my parents intends to read the book, and that is good, cause it also mentions information not commonly known among regular jws, e.g.

  mexico/malawi etc... it also gives the web address to a number of support web sites for "disgruntled" witnesses.. the book has come into existence also in cooperation with brooklyn hqs and the national branch office providing information and literature.. a good reading, accurate, containing less than five actual mistakes in close to 200 pages ;-)... (one minor one in the witness chapter.

  he says in general witnesses are ambassadors of god s kingdom.. and shows this by reference to 2. cor.

  USA- Census - Why not hire the JW's to do it?

  by POs Son in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is talk on some of the national news outlets about the cost of the united states census.

  for our foreign friends, we conduct a full head count of residents every 10 years to facilitate the division of congressional seats.

  the budget has allocated some $11 billion for this task, to include sending counters door-to-door asking personal questions about people's habits in addition to counting the number of people.

  When POLITICAL ELEMENT TURNS ON RELIGION

  by cameo-d in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  will this perhaps only "appear" as destruction of religion?.

  could it be that religion will simply go through a reformation?.

  hasn't the political and religious element always been bedfellows?.

  MY SISTER IS NO LONGER ALLOWED TO PIONEER

  by SusanHere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my sister, a devoted jw of many decades, has chosen to attend another church.

  she has been given a period of time to come to her senses and get back in line.

  hopefully, she won't make that mistake.. the way she's being treated now by her former friends and leaders caused her to remark to me, "i never realized before how much they are like a cult.".

  JW urban legends

  by kurtbethel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i scraped these off of a jw message group, and they are too over the top to not pass along.

  it is interesting to see that jws pass along these yarns just as their worldly friends do.

  most of them have that vague "friend of a friend" quality that urban legends are well know for having.
