False reasoning behind some of the WT rules?
by nevaagain inwhat are some false reasoning's behind some of the wt rules?.
birthdays:.
why is it forbidden as a jw to celebrate birthdays?
-
TTWSYF
Nevaagian- So many things to list. I totally agree with your conclusion that birthdays and anniversaries are very similar celebrations.
My biggest example of false reasoning is 'lying for the truth' because you are allowed to blatantly lie, yet still call it truth. OMFG! How can anyone still fall for such failed reasoning?

I'm getting baptized
by BlackWolf ini know i've started similar topics before but this time i'm serious.
my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.
i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.

Explain that you want to be baptized in the strictest biblical traditions.
You know that the bible explains how to be baptized according to Jesus's instructions.
That is to be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
Not in the name of the father, the son and Gods sole channel or organization.
Of course, in all honesty, it must suck to be you now. You have my prayers

WW1 had nothing to do with the JWs false prophesy. The end of the world dates started in 1873 I thought. Compare that with their whole history and you can see that the JWs would use anything they can to get membership up. And by anything, I mean theocratic warfare. They would [did/do/will] lie and lie and lie.
I am still amazed that anyone would still buy into their beliefs that reason that the bible doesn't mean what it says, it only means what the WTS says.

“Even if this wasn’t the Truth, I need the structure.”
by Londo111 ini remember many years back a fellow ministerial servant saying this to me.
he felt that even if jehovah’s witnesses were not the only true religion, the regimented routine of meetings and field service and the strict rules and enforcement provided a beneficial structure for his life.
at the time i thought if this wasn’t “the truth”, i’d have no need for all that “structure”.

What will be the Next Flip Flop?
by Quarterback innow that the soc has accepted the use of technology.
what is next?
could it be the disfellowshipping?

With more and more people claiming to be anointed at the memorials, I think the next flip/flop will be something like anointed one are no longer as big of a deal. Actually, with so many ridiculous doctrines, anything could be changed at any minute, just as it has.
Perhaps the men and women of Sodom will be resurrected
the men and women of Sodom will not be resurrected
the men of Sodom will be resurrected
the men and women if Sodom will not be resurrected
the men and........

Was Jesus disrespectful to his mother?
by purrpurr inthe famous wedding/ water into wine scene where he basically tells me mother to hop it and that he's nothing to do with her is what i am referring to.. now the wt tries to claim that this is not disrespectful and that jesus says this in a kindly manner which somehow makes it all ok. but then the wt have never been big on respecting women so this probably would make sense to them.. but the fact is that in the ten commandments the jews were commanded to respect their parents, in fact if a child was disrespectful to the parents the parents were to stone the child and... if the parents didn't the tribe were to stone them too.. so by being disrespectful towards his mother jesus was breaking gods law, by not stoning him mary and joseph were breaking gods law and by not stoning them the tribe were breaking gods law.. what do you think?
the wt's explanation of jesus's behaviour never did sit well with me.
do you agree?

Maybe it's a more dignified reference than you may think. In Genesis, God refers to The Woman as the one who will crush Satan's head.
Genesis 3;15.And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."
So perhaps the title of 'Woman' is not as disrespectful as you think. Word meanings change thru time, but dead languages never change. The Hebrew of the old testament is a dead language.It does not change anymore. Just speculating of course. I wan't there either

by Slidin Fast intoday's wt has the below scripture as it's theme.
friday of the rc has the same as it's theme.

I'm confused. Isn't the NWT the most accurate bible in the world. Isn't every other bible corrupted by Satan. Are they NOT the faithful and discrete slave?
