  what would someone type in google on the internet to direct that person to a site that was honest about the watchtower.if they just type in watchtower or jehovah's witnesses it will direct them the the wt.org which i don't want.i want them to go directly to such sites as freeminds.org.jwn or something like that.there are to many sites that would take them on a wild goose chase.i want them to go directly to the cheeze on this cult.. b.

  JWs Come Home...do they need to try this approach?

  by maninthemiddle in

  it looks like the catholics are trying to bring lost members home.

  would this approach work with jws?

  i can think of some it may work on, but not me or most.. is this more useful to those that simply don't attend anymore, or those that have converted?.

  I think you are saying of the about 7 mil claimed to be "publishers" there are many more who identify as JW?

  That makes sense, I have met people who were disfellowshipped and still believed the doctrine, I have also met people who got reinstated just to be with family, they still identified and JWs. I think they could be included in the "potential" count.

  Blondie, I met at least one CO who wouldn't mind, as long as it was a Green Bay flag,

  and I have known ones to have Georgia paraphernalia on their cars all the time. However college football is big in the south, I just wish college was big too.

  Do you mean as in strings of lights that look like Chili Peppers?

  Can't speak for this one scpecifically, however I have known several JWs that had white lights decorating their patios and their ficus trees all year, but I think all of them turned them off in December.

  I guess that is becuse they only have one meaning that time of year, and suddenly become pagan, but all the paganinity disapears in January?

  So question for you all, since we know that there wasn't a global flood, what does that mean for Peter and Paul, and even Jesus when they speak about the flood?

  Were they talking about the local flooding that there is evidence for? Did they believe it was global?

  1/1/11 WT Using One Myth to Support Another

  by WalkTall in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i thought this was pretty hysterical and something that i would have never noticed before i woke up.

  in the jan 1 wt under the heading 'was the garden of eden a real place?

  part of the reasoning they use as to why no one could find the garden of eden even though there are specifics in genesis identifying it's location is because "the flood of noah's day may have altered the topography in ways that we simply cannot know today".

  The "Flood" is a perfect scape-goat for anything difficult to explain.

  From *** g75 6/8 p. 5 A Worldwide Flood—What Does It Mean to You? ***

  A Worldwide Flood—What Does It Mean to You?

  “There is one significant fact that is always connected with every dinosaur fossil and every mammoth fossil, and that is that every fossil is almost invariably dug out of water-laid sedimentary rock. Every fossil is either dug out of shale, which is just floodwater mud hardened into rock, or out of floodwater sand hardened into sandstone, or frozen into permafrost.”

  Target: Earth notes with regard to the Yukon district of North America: “The presence of bones, trees, peat, and other debris all mixed together down to a depth of nearly 100 feet, points to a cataclysmic flood of tremendous proportions that must have moved across the land, grinding the bodies of the animals with stones and trees and spreading the whole out over the Yukon Valley.”

  So who is Target Eart, could they have an agenda?

  From their website...http://www.targetearth.org/about/about_main.html

  Target Earth is a national movement of Christians who reflect this commitment to care. It's a movement of individuals, churches, college fellowships and Christian ministries motivated by the biblical call to be faithful stewards of everything God created-to love our neighbors as ourselves and to care for the earth.

  One more reason not to attribute your resource.
