  just wondering how much good that does when ex-jws hold up signs at conventions.

  do you know of anybody that saw something on a sign and did research and subsequently left the organization?.

  Witness movie "Heritage"

  by exwhyzee in

  does anyone remember seeing the witness movie called "heritage" ?

  it was made in the early 60's and they used to show it once a year at the kh when i was a kid.

  (with guilty minds, we were secretly glad to see the projector set up in the middle section of the hall because it meant we didn't have to sit through another long boring talk.. even as a little kid i could see the one sided propaganda basicaly showing how empty "worldly" peoples lives were compared to ours and if you were a witness your family life would be idyllic like on "leave it to beaver".

  generation teaching reconsidered

  by inbetween in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  was thinking about this new generation teaching, and to some extend it makes sense, let me explain.. first of all, i personally believe, it only applied to jesus time, it only made sense there, and when jesus talked about it, in the year 33, this generation certainly observed the events leading to jerusalems destruction 70 ce.

  ( even though the context does not really give much hint, since he talks about the sign of the son of man being seen in heaven etc, something that did not happen in the first century).

  the main question is, what is a generation ?.

  Who calls the shots in the Watchtower?

  by dgp in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  let's talk about power in the wt.

  we know that the watchtower started as an all-american thing (or nearly all-american thing) but it isn't that anymore.

  now the non-american brothers and sisters are the majority, and, unless i'm wrong, much of the growth is taking place in countries like mexico, brazil and others.

  END of the WORLD 2012 and other crap (even JW crap)

  all the myths of the world's end have no logical basis.simon baty .

  violent tsunamis surging through mountaintops and thunderous earthquakes bursting apart concrete streets are just some of the elaborate plot devices behind the movie "2012" that made its way into theaters in 2009. .

  JW views on Mental Health & Counseling

  i am considering getting couples counseling for the jw boyfriend and i. he's open to it.

  he got help himself for an issue recently, but it was in the short term, and it went well for him.

  i want to know if we started going regularly, and his mentor got wind of it, what are the jw views on mental health help?

  LOVE your ENEMIES: where Jesus goes wrong

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  matthew 5:44 "but i say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,.

  luke 6:35 "but love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return.

  the most radical teaching attributed to jesus has implications if followed.. an invading hoarde of mongols would not be resisted.. a christian husband would not only allow his wife and daughters to be raped; he would be compelled to forgive the rapist, pray for him and offer.
