If they are the only ones preaching the "good news" worldwide, why does just about every other major christian denomination have vastly more members then them? They use numbers of their growth to "prove" their "widespread reach" in every yearbook.

Staying "Loyal" and King David/Saul Question...

by Confucious in

ok.... had a good discussion with a jdub friend.

good friend.. and i gave the argument, "hey.., loyalty to god trumps loyalty to organization.".

basically, that when your concious disagrees with "god's organization" that you should stand up and say something.. then he gave me a good point about king david and how saul was the organization at the time but since it was god's appointed one - that david didn't work to "overthrow" saul.. thoughts?.

"Tag! YOUR IT!"

"Tag... YOUR IT!"

"Nope! God chose me to lead!"

"So you don't have to follow the rules now?"

"Exactly."

Joey's trip to the library

by Joey Jo-Jo in

in relation to this thread, the destruction of jerusalem 607bce.

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/194806/1/library-visit-2-607-bce-vs-587-bce-with-pictures.

i'm doing my own research on this date, majority (98%) of sources points to 587bce, i'm still studying jw enterpretation of bible chronology and other books but so far there seems to be little support for 607bce.. .

taken from wt october 15 paragraph 17 page 11

by booby in

jehovah could read the hearts of david and bath-sheba and see their genuine repentance.

taking.

such a factor into consideration, he judged them accordingly, in a merciful and loving manner.. .

You say 98%, where is the 2% secular support of 607?

Sept.15th WT - WT Society uses Guilt & Fear to Avoid Friendship & Internet

by flipper in

jw
friends

once again my wife and i were sent the " witness only " wt version by our lurking jw friend that they study at wt study meetings.

and once again wt society is showing very controlling tendencies towards it's jw members.. do any of you remember the " old days " in the 1970's or early 1980's when witnesses used to have goody night after book study ?

or you would have a " potluck picnic " with about 30 to 40 people getting to know one another to draw close as friends outside the confines of the kingdom hall ?

From a Watchtower Nov 1st 2034:

"...would we want to go outside of the security of our own houses and away from our WT Television sets? Remember we must 'do ALL things for the Faithful and Discreet Slave's glory' (Matthew 103:56,57). Neither would we want to allow the sounds of Satan's world penetrate our homes by opening our doors to Satan's system! Make sure that if your sound-proof wallpaper is getting old to have a local Elder come over and replace it with new better working Satan Repelent walls..."
