JW's do not follow the bible. The bible shows you can have a personal relationship with God and Christ. Jw's teach that God doesn't really do anything direct or works with people individually. This teaching started after the original JW leader died, Rutherford took over claiming Christ returned and the holy spirit was no longer needed that Christ was ruling directly and using angels and others who had died to run the show. When Rutherford died, they slowly brought back holy spirit, but to keep full control of the JW's they keep teaching nobody can get holy spirit or understand the bible, ect, except through them.

God does exist here is my nonbiblical reason:
by Curious Kitten in(before you read i hope no one gets offended by the word retarted...that s how i thought when i was 13)my mom and dad are divorced and my father never helped my mother on raising us, so basically she was a single-mother.
he just abandoned my three brothers and me and my mother had to work two jobs all of the time so we never got to see her.
when we did see her it was after school, but all she did was yell at us, make food, and leave to her next job.

Bible is true in some vital matters!
by abiather inwhile there are many interpolations in the bible (such as john 3:13 .... .. ) which can be ignored, there are very meaningful verses too in the bible such as ecclesiastes 4:1; 8:9 which states: man has authority over another to his detriment, they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors..
let us make a comparison of humans (in general) with lower beings, or even with inanimate things!
many people earn, spend, sleep, and finally go into the deep sleep of death, which is no way better than that of a stone or any animate being, which remains unaware of its self, origin, objective of life, final destination and macrocosmic surroundings.

I don't think very advanced AI is far away. If you break down human thinking and translate that into a program, and with the capacity of computers, it's only time.
1. Like a human is programmed to eat/drink, the computer/robot would be programmed to get power when it's running low.
2. As a person learns by experience, asking questions, etc, a computer program/robot can learn by input as well, the more it interacts, the more it learns (in relation to dealing with people) but they can also have every piece of knowledge loaded up as well.
3. With camera lenses, audio, audio recognition, you have it's eyes, ears, etc, and wifi can have it connected to the internet without physically being plugged in.
Just getting the base programming down. Since hard drives are getting larger by the year, processing power better, etc, we probably already the core components needed, just need the genius to program it.

by sowhatnow innot sure where to post this, but the other day my jw mom says to me, 'the number is increasing they announced that we need 40,000 new kingdom halls'.

What they mean to say is "We need money" sell your kingdomhalls because your account will have a big surplus which you'll donate to us, then we'll help you get a small cheap hall so we've made a big profit. We'll build too many small cheap halls that are perfectly designed to be turned into a fast food drivethru, one for each congregation in prime areas, then after they are built we'll sell them to Mcdonalds, etc, and make 3 congregations share each little one, which will coincidentally be the one NOT in a prime location but out in the woods. -

Ezekiel 38 and 39 seem to be talking about the exact same event that happens at the end of the 1,000 year reign. -

Is the UN really the disgusting thing?
by StarTrekAngel inbeen dwelling on this for a while.
was there any particular history on this or anywhere where the wt picked up someone else's doctrine?.
in most cases, the bible uses the word "disgusting thing" to refer to idols, idolatry and false religion.

When I had searched for what the bible may be really saying about the disgusting thing causing desolation standing in a holy place, many scriptures closely related to me seemed to be something beyond human and beyond looking for a actual person.
The WT changed around what 2 Thess 2:3-5 say. It links up with other scriptures too. But the mystery, man of lawlessness, who sits in the seat of God showing himself to be God. That's really what it should say, someone who tricks people into thinking he is God. Would the seat of God be a holy place?
I don't feel like getting real deep into this topic and all I looked up about it, but that's the quick fast and easy explanation of what I think it's really talking about.

Excuses to miss the meeting that won't raise suspicion of a fade
by kairos inthe first step to fading is to begin missing the meetings.. "if" anyone misses you, a quality excuse must be at the ready.
this will produce empathy toward you as opposed to suspicion.. 1. car problems ( don't mention that you caused them ).
2. stuck on the phone resolving insurance, billing, etc issues.. 3. sick ( of the meetings ).

Regarding Dates---Have The Witnesses Ever Been Correct On Any Of Them?
by minimus ini can't think of any chronology that has not been changed.
even their "absolute" dates are suspect.

Russell taught that Israel would be restored to the Jews and as a nation. It's funny that about 3 years before that actually happened, Rutherford dropped that doctrine saying that's ridiculous and it's only symbolic. It's like God make it happen then just to show extra proof that WT isn't lead by him, nothing they say happens and then when they drop a doctrine, it happens! lol -

2014 Watchtower Library CD (very discreetly) changed the Insight article on Faithful and Discreet Slave
by Gilgamesh inthe updated article on the "fds" makes several changes although it still lists the article/entry as if it had come from the 1988 edition of insight on the scriptures, vol.
(1co 3:2, 5; 4:1, 2; compare mt 4:4.
at the same time the individual members making up such composite body, or the domestics making up the house of god (mt 24:45; heb 3:6; eph 2:19), would also be recipients of the food dispensed.

Marked. In the Jehovahs Witness green book they use many similar tactics on the history. For example Rutherford taught there was no holy spirit, his whole life he taught no holy spirit since Jesus returned and was ruling through him/headquarters, etc. But the Jehovah's Witness history book makes it seem like holy spirit teaching has always been as it is today.
