  Ironically, the bible speaks of the witnessing of Jesus, not Jehovah.

  Also, isn't Jesus the name above every other name?

  We should become Jesus's witnessess

  "You don't go to church in a Kingdom Hall"

  by stephanie61092 in

  "you don't go to church in a kingdom hall" was stated during the public talk yesterday.

  the speaker then elaborated that "people who go to church, go to fulfill a spiritual obligation.

  coming to the kingdom hall is coming to learn.

  If there is no worship at the kingdom hall, then where and when does one worship? Does one worship with others?

  What's a word that describes the way Witnesses behave as a group?

  by paul from cleveland in

  i can't recall the word that describes a group that keeps to itself like the witnesses do.

  i thought it was "insular" but i don't think that's the one i'm looking for after reading the definition.

  i remember an elder using the word "clannish" and that has the proper definition but it reminds me of a group of elves.

  My first thought was delusional.

  Then I read DOCs word sanctimonious - making a show of being morally superior to other people.

  synonyms:self-righteous, holier-than-thou, pious, pietistic, churchy, moralizing, preachy, smug, superior, priggish, hypocritical,insincere;informalgoody-goody

  but the winner [of my top three] might be orphancrows word in another thread

  "otiose"

  adj: serving no useful purpose; having no excuse for being

  adj: producing no result or effect

  Can any believer make a case for the superiority of faith over knowledge?

  by Half banana in

  i find it curious why so many here on this site, in the face of factual evidence for things such as evolution and the impossibility for anyone to make a coherent interpretation for the bible, would still prefer faith to knowledge?.

  can any believer attempt a defence of this position?.

  Creation, evolution, a big bang ? These things are all theories. None are defined as facts, so why would anyone expect all people to acknowledge these things as facts?

  When Did Higher Education Become Taboo?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been reading about the early history of russelites/jws and in the beginning, it seems the organization was formed and headed by quite a few educated people.

  lawyers, doctors, businessman.

  you could buy voting rights within the organization for $1000, which by today's standard would be somewhere between $15,000 and $20,000, something most of us do not have on hand, unless you are highly educated and/or wealthy.

  When did higher education become taboo?

  When the WTS realized that educated people didn't fall for their lies

  Lies, lies, lies to everyone, not just those who ask tough questions, but everyone.

  Theocratic warfare aka Lying for the truth is just plain lying

  how credible are nwt's critiques?

  : allin and john 8:58.a few weeks ago we had a discussion surrounding john 8.58. the posters in this forum offered various views in regards to jesus' divine role in scripture.

  occasionally, some scholars publish articles where they voice their opinion against the nwt theological renderings.
