  when i was living in albuquerque, nm, my family attended one of the spanish congregations.

  one young elder was giving the prayer at the end of the school/servive meeting one night and he wished jehovah a good night.

  jah is the ruler of the universe.

  Soldier77, I always got told growing up that it always had to do with what the bible said. Of course the watchtowers were always nessary to use along with the bible but the bible was always more emphasized growing up. ( at least what I was told growing up). The watchtower and awakes along with the publications were bible aides.

  Wow, good point cedars.

  I know the JW's back in the day were gun hold against apostates (early 80's especially), to the point where they would use physical force, especially if there was an apostate in there own household. I think the one thing that is gonna wake a lot of witnesses up is this whole thing about partaking at the memorial and the whole debate with the annointed, etc.

  In light of a lot of the watchtower's kool aid articles that I have read on here over the past year or so, it seems as if the watchwer bible and tract society has pretty declared war on ex-JW's (using there #1 tool: the bible of course). Is this the right way of putting this? Would you guys word this different in a more legalistic fashion? It seems to be that if anyone disagrees with the watchtower they are enemies of jehovah, but especially ex-JW's.

  My mother is trying to indoctrinate my 4 year old and I do not know what to do

  my mother lives a plane trip away from me, so does not get to spend very much time with zac.

  however, she is in sydney for 3 weeks and has been babysitting.

  i knew that she would be talking about jehovah, but was very annoyed yesterday when zac said my mother was speaking all day about jehovah, such as how he made the stars.. in the past, i was not overly concerned if zac learnt about jehovah's witnesses, as i thought it would help with critical thinking skills to understand different points of view.

  yahoo fired its second ceo in less than a year sunday amid concerns about an exaggerated resume, throwing the company into turmoil just months into its latest turnaround effort.. the board ousted scott thompson, 54, who took yahoo's top job in january, after a dissident shareholder questioned the biography he had submitted to the company before becoming ceo.

  ross levinsohn, 48, executive vice president of the americas for yahoo, was named interim ceo.

  What the Watchtower needs to do to survive.

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  drop its teaching on paradise earth.. the primary issue facing the watchtower results from it's teaching that members will never die, but live forever on this earth in paradise.

  this teaching is cause of most of the doctrinal failures, and will be its eventual demise.. the promise of never dying is one of the foremost motivations for people that join the religion, and the message of living forever in paradise is compelling.

  however, it is also the watchtower's achilles heel, as it forces false predictions of the nearness of the end.

  The one thing there gonna have to do is be more liberal about their stand on blood, sex, holiday celebrations, etc. As time goes on their beliefs are gonna become more bizzare to the average person.
