  Go Back to the Kingdom Hall and Leave Us Alone!

  by steve2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone else observed or even taken part in the strange phenomenon of defending something even when you have doubts about it?

  it's not a new phenomenon; i think freud called it "reactive formation".

  i notice every now and then, jws and/or their supporters tentatively surface on the jw discussion board.

  Research on the validity of 1914

  by Bluegrass Tom in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  here are a few facts that i have recently discovered by doing some research.. the watchtower society uses the date of 539 b.c.e as the date that cyrus took over babylon.

  they use the term "absolute date" to define this as an unquestionable point in time.

  to do this they had to ignore 586 b.c.e which is the real date for the destruction of jerusalem.. therefore, if jerusalem never lay desolate for 70 years, when does this desolation and fulfillment of this prophecy take place?

  //What if Micheal Moore made a documentary on the WTS

  by Goldminer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  .

  i recently watched the 9/11farenheit documentary and found it very interesting.how much is actually true and how much is not,i don't know,but i got the impression that micheal moore is for real and trying to open people's eyes to truths we don't see.. anyways,i was just sitting there,wondering what kind of documentary he'd come up with if he decided he wanted to look into the wts.i believe it would be very interesting,and definitely an eye-opener.of course the shallow-minded jw would say it's all propaganda no matter how clear the subject was presented.. i'd love to hear your thoughts on this ...any ideas for a title?

  To what extent do the elders keep information on us?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember a few years ago, i changed congregation, so the elders told me that they had to send my folder to the other congregation.

  when i was baptized, i don't remeber them telling me they kept information on me, and that they would pass it around to other congregations if ever i moved.. i wonder what kind of information is kept in these folders.

  probably everyone in the congregation has his hours listed and the privileges they had written in it, but maybe there is alot more written that we don't even know about.

  THE GENERATION OF 1914

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it makes you wonder when exactly the governing body and their lawyers decided to change the "generation of 1914" doctrine.

  the first quotation below is from the 1992 wt and the second one from the 1993 brochure the purpose of life, just two lousy years before they imfamously dropped the whole idea:

  *** w92 5/1 p. 7 the 1914 generation?why significant?

  Best Bible Translation?

  by mywifeisaJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my wife has been a jw for about 10 years (we have been married 15 years).

  over the years i have tried various strategies to deal with this, which i won't go into here...except that i have agreed to "read the bible" with my wife...and i get to pick the translation.. what translation would be best recommended to help highlight the errors of the nwt and jw thinking in general?

  i have seen here that today's english version has been recommended...anything else?

  Letter From President George W. Bush

  by prophecor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ok so maybe i'm being played but believe it or not, i just got a letter from the president, that's right, the president of the united states of america!!!

  he was thanking many of his constituents for supporting him in his campaign.

  and get this, unlike the the problems that are resulting from donald rumsfeld's not taking the time to sign the letters, notifying their loved ones of the soldiers deaths, this appears to be written out in his own personal handwriting.
