i detest this type of posting.
it's only my opinion of course and so long as forum rules aren't breached we're all free to express ourselves as we see fit.
doesn't mean i have to like it though.. honestly, can't you make your point without this kind of infantile name calling?
These are some of the things my JW brother has told me through the years
'you shouldn't reject what the bible says because it doesn't suit your mental tastes'
'That's like polishing the brass on a sinking ship'
my favorite 'it's called "lying for the truth"'
'that's apostate, I won't look at that'
'well, I guess you don't want to be saved'
i need to get rid of it.. when i was a kid, the brothers would always get on stage and talk about what an abudant buffet of spiritual food from jehovah's table we will receive.
when i was a kid i use to take everything so literally, so i would imagine a buffet of ham, chicken, macncheese (the most creamy mac n cheese, candy yams, turkey, corn bread).
i used to wish that the brother would finish with the prayer so we could get to old county buffet, so i could get to the literal food.. .
call me Tommy two times, Tommy two times, I'm going to get the papers,get the papers

Jolietta, I wish you the best in your digestive passings Nothing like good ol research into the facts. Although, sometimes bitter, it's good for the rational part of your mind that has been 'trained' to avoid truthful things..... [that's a mild reference to the 'Lying for the Truth' mentality]. God bless.

is there any wt doctrine you think is not subject to change ever?
any doctrines you feel may change some day but no way in the next several decades?.
i was just thinking about those of us younger than 50. if we live to a healthy ripe old age, just how different will the jws be then from what they are today?
Looking back through the JW history, the only doctrine that hasn't been subject to change is the doctrine that the end is at hand and if you wanna be saved, you gotta be with us.

most witnesses never could explain exactly who the "faithful slave" was (according to the society's explanation).
the resurection of the sodomites was another bewildering thing.
were they or weren't they going to be resurrected?
One doctrine that I can't believe is still promoted is 'Lying for the Truth'.
God says over and over and over again that he hates liars. How could anyone buy into that truck load of bs?

ps- Satan in aka 'the Father of lies'

The belief that the bible is the Word of God, but that God was wrong on so much of their beliefs...I'll be brief
Jesus is one of the created angels, Jesus never rose [bodily] from the grave, Jesus is not worthy of prayer, Jesus never claimed that he was God.
These simple few views contradict the New Testament. They are significant differences to say the least.

curious; most profession you need a degree.
i know of several minister.
that do not have a degree in theology.
Way to go Psac! What would you do with your degree? Perhaps work at a museum, go on digs in Egypt [not any time soon I hope], or maybe become a preacher. You could start your own cult or something. lol

A degree in 'Fairyology'?
Friends of mine at the Harvard School of Divinity would disagree. Besides heavy doses of the obvious [such as history, languages and archeology], they also study and get access to incredible research facilities. Last time we spoke, they were studying possibilities concerning how certain bodies [of 'saints'] did not corrupt over time. Some speculated that perhaps the amount of fasting, or eating of certain types of herbs had contributed to the preservation of some of these bodies. Although this is a 'school of divinity', the research that they do make it clear that they are skeptics when researching causes that seem to defy logic.
