  Dont be so hard on satan

  by gringojj in

  i think people forget that satan was a creation of god, just like all of us and everything else.

  obviously god had a purpose in creating satan.

  god has love for everyone and everything, including satan.

  How the Internet Means 'The End' for Apostates and Opposers of the Society

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the received wisdom is that the internet has dramatically damaged the ability of the watchtower society to gain and retain followers.

  there was a very eloquent article to that effect written some time ago by a commentator who attempted to buttress his argument with reference to the postmodern condition and the breakdown of metanarratives in todays secular society, nay, even the come-back for enlightenment notions of truth.

  in the 1970/80s there were major challenges to the watchtowers theology (great crowd in heaven) and chronology (1914) in norway, alberta canada, dublin ireland and in the newyork bethel itself: but the damage caused by those involved in the dissent was limited because knowledge was dispersed merely through personal contact and minimal use of obscure publications that seldom met the eyes of witnesses innocent of the watchtowers doctrinal and chronological vacillations in any case.

  Memorial observance… It isn’t about Jesus at all!

  by 1badmutha in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know that jesus is a pretty much-overlooked figure by the wbts.

  they refuse to celebrate his birth for a number of convoluted reasons, which i refuse to argue.

  but, it is curious that they celebrate the death of christ.

  The C.T. Russell pyramid

  by Nathan Natas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i wrote this thinking that maybe some of our new folks would enjoy it, but i think i may have given the posting a bad or misleading subject line, because it has been little read and not commented on at all.

  tell me how much the story sucks, and why it sucks as much as it does.

  si vous plait.
