you really don't know the answer? It was because he said 'he' had done it instead of giving the glory to God.

Thoughts on going back, am I the only one that feels this way?
by excaliber inhello everyone, i know you have heard this topic before and your probably thinking.
...not again lol.. but i was wondering if anyone has thought of going back for the same reasons as myself, i don't think its the truth but i searched and my conclusion is that other religions don't have the truth, they are all wrong in my opinion.
if there is no other religion to go too, why leave were i was born and raised.

It probably depends on friends and family. In my case, the JW lifestyle has made all relatives somewhat cold and scattered, no get togethers, etc. Moved around a bit so no set lifelong friends, most got married and moved on/off.
If you lived in one place your whole life and have close friends and family all in, that's the only case it might work, but it would drive me crazy knowing TTATL. (the truth about the lie).

New bibles 'made in Japan'

It was probably a combination of that and perhaps there are no japanese ex jw websites? Maybe the ones in the printing press in Japan are only accepted if they don't speak english?
I wonder if it was merely cheaper or in part for information control?

Jehovahs Witness elder arrested for sexual abuse
by truthseekeriam injehovahs witness elder arrested for sexual abuseposted on december 10, 2013 by wtleave a commenta man serving as a jehovahs witness elder minister in oklahoma was arrested on 19 counts of sexual abuse, according to authorities.
authorities said they had received numerous reports of other children being molested by ronald lawrence, 76 years of age, from more than 30 years ago.. it is believed, according to lawrences arrest warrant, the kingdom hall church where lawrence was an elder, chose not to inform law enforcement of the abuse.
authorities said that if the jehovahs witness church withheld information from authorities that they too could face criminal charges.. .

Hope all these news reports start waking people up that no matter what church you go to, there are bad apples mixed in. The bible said the wheat and weeds would grow together. The WT tries to teach that such was in the past and only the wheat are in their congregations and it's 'protected', 'clean', but their attempts to white wash and try to push ahead bible prophecy which hasn't happened yet, and apply things to themselves exclusively will never work.

why isnt the Revelation book on the jw website.
by Sojae ini asked my mother( still very much active).
she said books made from '86 and before would not be online.
so we both looked at her physical revelation book and it was made in 88 so it should be there.

along with splashes post "
Maybe someone pointed out their trumpet blasts didn't happen in date order, and they got embarrased.
Revelation 8:7 - 1st Trumpet = September 10, 1922 convention in Cedar Point, Ohio. [Page 134, paragraph 18]
Revelation 8:8, 9 - 2nd Trumpet = August 18-26, 1923 convention in Los Angeles, California. [Page 134, paragraph 22]
Revelation 8:10, 11 - 3rd Trumpet = July 20-27, 1924 convention in Columbus, Ohio. [Page 137, paragraph 33]
Revelation 8:12 - 4th Trumpet = August 29, 1925 convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. [Page 140, paragraph 39]
Revelation 9:1 - 5th Trumpet = September 1-8, 1919 convention in Cedar Point, Ohio. [Page 143, paragraph 5]
Revelation 9:13, 14 - 6th Trumpet = March 25, 1919 release from bondage. [Page 149, paragraph 4]
Revelation 11:15 - 7th Trumpet = 1914 when Jehovah enthrones Jesus. [Page 171, paragraph 2]"
In addition to the above, those few chapters in revelation that were written so deep and detailed and full of symbolism to foretell a conventions almost 2,000 years in the future in which the material taught and told, even though fulfilling a big chunk of bible prophecy, would be 'old light' and 'imperfect non inspired human mistakes'.

I've seen first hand global warming evidence and how some twist things. If you go to Mont Blanc in the Alps, you can visit and go inside a glacier. To get to the glacier you have to walk down into a valley and walk down many stairs. They put markers for the past 100+ years of how high the glacier was that year. It's melting so fast it may be gone in a couple years.
Yet a report against global warming was quick to point out how on the 'top' of mont blanc, the ice actually grew.
Well, the top of Mont Blanc is 15,781 feet, it's always freezing up there. Yet they ignored the vanishing glaciers at the lower elevations.

Many christian faiths have an EARTHLY resurrection belief.....
by EndofMysteries ini was surprised to learn many other mainstream christian religions believe in a physical earthly resurrection.
even catholics.
it seems the belief is that as of now one goes to heaven to wait, then in the future will have an earthly resurrection.

Infact another interesting thing, is that most christian faiths banned cremation because of this belief. That cremation is a pagan practice and represents a denial of a belief of an earthly resurrection.
I'm surprised that cremation is allowed with JW's since it has pagan origins and even catholics had banned it until 1965.
