  We shall dress with modesty (1Tim2:9), why dress like rich lawyers or wealthy financiers?

  by Mr Fool in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in my point of view, modest clothing is simple and humble.

  so why are jw-men dressed like they own a big company or are challangers to the president post?

  ALL OF US ARE IRRATIONAL even in some small way

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my personal opinion is we all harbor some irrational ideas.

  even the most careful of us have some small thing totally at odds with logical thinking.. i'll grant you, few people care about being rational!

  and that in itself is a bigger problem.. but, i do make an heroic effort to avoid mindless beliefs, attitudes and thoughts.

  Why Eve sinned (WT 8/2013)

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  adamah brought up in another thread an issue i wasn't aware of, and i thought it merged well with something i've been pondering about.

  it revolves around the deeper reasons why satan was successful in persuading eve to eat from the forbidden fruit.

  why was eve persuaded to disobey god?.

  Mac Book Pro with Retina or Dell XPS 15? (both with new Haswell processors)

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been in need of a new laptop for a long time.

  no, i mean it - a really long time.

  the old dell that we have has a floppy lid and is woefully underpowered although it does build up my upper body strength every time i pick it up.. the last 6 months has been a bad time to buy something new though with the haswell processors on the horizon promising better battery life and also screen technology seems to have been leaping ahead recently to a new hi-dpi standard.. so apple finally released their mac book pro and at the same time dell has released an xps 15 ultrabook which looks like a pretty good alternative and probably better 'value'.. pro's and con's?

  Individual Governing Body Members and Lawsuits

  by jw07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't know if this has any legal implications:.

  since the identities of the individual members of the governing body have been publicly confirmed (not that we didn't know that before) can that open the way for direct lawsuits to be leveled against members?.

  for instance are there any laws in the usa that would open the way for geoffrey jackson to be targetted by the lawsuits from child abuse or no blood transfusion deaths?.

  It appears that Candace Conti has a strong case. However...

  by Calebs Airplane in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i believe we may all be surprized at the final outcome of this case.... as you may already know, arnold schwarzennegar appointed robert mcguiness as superior court judge in 2005. mcguinness is the judge in the candace conti case.. it is widely known that arnold scharzennegar is a high-ranking freemason with direct ties to the rothschild family (primary shareholders of the watchtower corporation).

  judge robert mcguinness comes from a family of powerful and influential irish freemasons who also enjoy strong ties to the rothschild family.. so this could go south very quickly for candace in the next few days.... .

  Mass Disfellowshippings of Inactive Ones

  by bytheirworks in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the word out of bethel is of a mass purge the likes of the 1980's.. there's also possible public reproofs handed out for irregular ones.. .

  the scriptures they are using to support this:.

  the very ones keeping away from you will perish.

  New Light related to Watchtower Society Isolation closing the shop? A scenario

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i was thinking about the next scenario:.

  the united states (and western world) are losing influence compared to china, india and other new economy's.. with this decline of influence, the watchtower society, a true american religion and it's subsidiary's corporations are losing profits and losing it's base in much country's under china / india / indonesia / brazil influence.

  what i see is that the watchtower society is selling it's main assets: landmark buildings in optimal condition.
