Kendrick in good standing in Oakley Congregation ... wow !
by RubaDub in

2. child-abuse
can anyone imagine the what the elders in his current congregation must be going through ?!.

in their ideal world, they would have df'd him once they knew there would be a trial so they could play the card "he's not one of jw's.

" but since it occurred in a different congregation and he was already punished, there is little they can currently do.. wow, imagine the buzz in the kh when the info started leaking out.

Has anyone learned how to read hebrew?
by EndofMysteries in
1. watchtower
2. bible
if so, did you take a class, use a program, and how long or how many hours of study/learning would it realistically take to be able to read the bible in hebrew from when you begin to learn?

.

i am trying to decide if it's something i want to pursue since bible translations and even interlinears seem to cloud out some key messages and phrases.

Is It Normal for a JW to give a Return Visit print-outs of information?
by Broken Promises in

2. beliefs
yesterday i had another visit from a jw who has started calling on me after a few discussions.

i wrote about her in a previous thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/209531/1/jw-at-my-door-admits-that-shee28099s-had-doubts i'm pretending to be an interested one, and we've had some nice discussions.

i am trying to get her to research her religion via "innocent" questions i bring up.. i've noticed that each time she calls on me, she's given me printed information.

Watchtower's Jesus = Michael doctrine
by Ding in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i've never really understood the watchtower's teaching on jesus being michael.

here is what i understand they teach:.

1. jehovah's first creation was the archangel michael.. 2. jesus was nothing more than a perfect man, not michael the archangel in human form.. 3. rather, when jesus was conceived in mary, michael went out of existence and his impersonal life force was put into jesus (analogous to sharing the same pacemaker).. 4. when jesus died, his impersonal life force went back into a recreated archangel michael.. .
