  Am I mistaken or are these stupid mistakes on watchtower.org?

  am i the only one who notices a couple of problems with this?.

  first of all, passover is on 15 nisan, not 14.. the sheep should prove to be sound, a male, a year old, for you.

  you may pick from the young rams or from the goats.

  July 15th WT out - Coming out Swinging at Apostates Hard

  by LostGeneration in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is one of the most aggressive watchtowers i think i have ever read.. four study articles on not "following the crowd" not following unrealities(page 13) not following false teachers, meaning apostates of course(p 15).

  avoiding false teachers means "refusing to read their literature, watch tv programs that feature them, examine their web sites, or add comments to their blogs.

  (para 7, pg 16).

  Welcome What Now!

  You're right, it's difficult to leave when one has got children. As for me, I discovered this site one year ago and I have tried to keep on attending meetings in order to keep up appearences. However it became more and more difficult so I've stopped attending last January. Hubby still goes with the children (2 littlee girls) but I know now that it's because he is not ready to leave. He needs more time and I let him go, because he also respects my decision.

  I wish you all the best in your journey out of this organization.

  Take care,

  Welcome INDYpendent

  You're not the only one questionning or thinking the society is wrong about virutally everything they say or teach and you're not the only one with family and children in. I know it's a very hard situation. Many on this board know.

  You'll find many answers to your questions here.

  Quendi,

  I was still wondering if I should attend the memorial or not since I've completly stopped attending meetings at the beginning of January. But what you just wrote helped me to understand how silly it would be to attend.

  So sorry for what happened to you

  You also made a good point (" Since Paul wrote at 1 Corinthians 11:26 that the Lord's Evening Meal was to be celebrated only until the Lord arrived, why is this still going on? After all, if the Lord arrived in 1914 as the organization maintains, then that should have been the last year of observing the Memorial shouldn't it? Any observance after that year would be in direct contravention to this clearly stated condition." ) Never thought about it

  June 15 WT- Scrolls "Probably most Christians could not carry many with them for preaching"

  by LostGeneration in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the june 15 study edition talks about scrolls, we all know the silly picture of the dude hauling scrolls around that the wt has put into a few of their publications.

  this paragraph in the new wt states:.

  the well-known dead sea scroll of isaiah is almost 24 feet (7.3 m) in length.
