Just a simple question.

do you think it is easier for an elder to wake up to the wtbts because of the position he is in which gives him access to info that the rank & file would not be privy to, or do you think it would be harder for him to wake up because of all the prestige/power/admiration he receives as a result of being an elder, or does it come down to something else entirely?.

Question for Cart-Watchers

q. what is more important, the bible teach book or the bible itself?.

a. the bible, of course.. q. then why do you only display these books, and not the bible?.
TTWSYF

In my obnoxious opinion....The answer to this OP question is the same answer for "Which is more important, the Watchtower and Awake or the bible?. Which do you think is more important to the WTS?
The bible?,,,a catholic book that many people can relate to...that's their 'in'
OR
The WTS publications [which ever ones are available]...pushes WTS agenda and lists biblical references which almost never relate to the point that they are trying to make.
Also I wanna shout out to OUTLAW, I very much appreciate your cartoons, moving videos, and work on these replies....Whenever I see your name, I know I will be entertained. Many thanks from The Truth Will Set You Free

are our dead loved ones watching over us at all or are they really just gone now?

i expect an afterlife that will directly relate to how I chose to live..... It seems like I'm in the minority with Free&Clear

I don't know from personal experience, but Jesus says in the bible
24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.26 Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’[d]? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

i mean this with all due respect, i would like to hear from genuine people who think jw have it wrong and then what is the truth?.

The slaughter at Armageddon is for a specific purpose: to quell the attack against the Christ, not to slaughter those who do not believe in God. Unless you decide to engage in that fight, you can feel confident of surviving Armageddon.
Acts? I think you should read revelation. Armageddon comes for the righteous and the depraved according to my bible

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"

"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
1. jw
2. friends
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.
TTWSYF

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
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
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?.
TTWSYF

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?
