  How will Obamacare affect the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society?

  i'm not sure if this has been addressed here or not but i've been curious as to how obamacare stands to affect the wtbts and those serving at it's branches in the usa?

  has anyone looked at this?

  seems the catholics are all shook up about what obamacare stands to "make" them provide their "employees".

  What do the Witnesses claim was God's purpose for the Gentile Times?

  when watching the history of jw's last night they mentioned that period of darkness they refer to as the gentile times where no light was coming from god and the churches were keeping the bulk of mankind in the dark by only having the scriptures in latin.

  i can't remember, because i've been away so long, but maybe some of you do ... what do the jws claim was god's purpose in allowing that period of darkness to go on for so long?.

  i mean, according to 1 timothy 2:3,4 it says:"3this is fine and acceptable in the sight of our savior, god,4whose will is that all sorts of men should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.

  Have you watched the video series "History of Jehovah's Witnesses" on YouTube?

  just curious if any of you have watched it.

  i'm on part three and to this point i can't help but notice the emphasis (although it was likely unintended) on the fact that this religion was/is a creation of men.

  it even says that russell didn't claim to be inspired.

  What degree of accuracy and consistency do you feel it's fair to hold today's religions to?

  as most of us know, if you look at most any religion today you might see bit of good and bits of bad, bits of truth and bits of falsehood, some christian teachings, some pagan practices & origins.

  doesn't seem to matter where you look - the jw's included.

  so i find myself asking myself, "to what degree of accuracy and consistency is it fair to hold today's religions to?".

  i was just watching one of the videos on watchtower comments regarding the growing number of partakers at the memorial celebrations each year.

  made me wonder what the tally was this year?

  anyone have the stats yet?.
