  Why Mainstreaming Will Win and Reform Won't

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sometimes change takes place over many years, in such a subtle.

  and quiet way that those involved may not even discern that a. trend is forming.

  as with social security and retirement issues,.

  Freedom of Thought and JW Opposers

  by dunsscot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does freedom of thought really obtain in this forum?

  are those who have left god's organization and jehovah god himself actually now more open-minded and unbiased?

  if those who espouse atheistic thoughts or those who believe every vile utterance spoken against jehovah's people think they are now speaking from some olympian perspective, i beg to differ.

  What WILL they do?!!!!!

  by Copernicus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife and i have been discussing the probability of the upcoming dateline program and the impact it will have on the org.

  its obvious to us now that the retirement of the gb some time ago (all of their pr bs aside) was predicated by their awareness that this situation was developing, or something similar to it.

  seems logical, yes?

  please can someone shed light on the claim that when the bible was originaly written it had the name jehovah in it over 7000 times but it was changed because of superstition?

  My Epiphany

  by Farkel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, folks.

  i just had a minor epiphany.

  its a wonder it never dawned on me before, because it should have been so obvious.. we can forget about doing any more research or any more exegesis.

  "Problems"

  by DevilsAdvocate_DA in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "life is a series of problems".

  the problems we face will either defeat us or develop us -- depending on how we respond to them.

  unfortunately most of us fail to see how jehovah wants to use problems for good in our lives.

  A Bible contradiction?

  by uncle_onion in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  another book i am reading called "the jesus mysteries" makes this claim:.

  "according to matthew, jesus is born in the reign of herod, who tries to have him killed as a baby to prevent him becoming king of the jews.

  herod who died in 4bce.........luke makes a similar point of having his jesus born 10 years later at the time of the census of 6ce.".
