the following press release was issued by the united nations department of public information on december 20 and 21, 2001. the release dealt with new ngos who became "associated" with dpi just like the way the watchtower as an ngo became "associated" with dpi in 1992.. .

i like the part about the 251 organizations who were "disassociated".

The Adventist Movement
by SharonUT in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
after study... i have concluded that the jw's are nothing more than another off-shoot of the adventist movement.

see below.. the adventist movement (millerites) was started by william miller (a lay baptist minister) in 1843 and that created 3 off-shots.

the advent christian church, the life & advent union, and the seventh-day adventists (which sprang the branch davidians).

i've been reading this board for a couple of weeks now.

because of it, i've ordered and received "crisis of conscience" and have begun to read it.

i've also done many searches about jehovah's witnesses, the watchtower society, disfellowshipping, etc.

What Caused Your First Doubt ?
by Big Jim in
1. jw
2. friends
for me it was when i was about twelve years old and my best friends dad was disfellowshipped from the congregation.. i could not understand how a god of love would treat someone so coldly.. i used to think what if that was the way my parents would treat me if i had done something wrong, that would be so hard and cruel.. as i got older another thing that bothered me was the beard issue.

it may sound pretty trivial however the society has always refused to make a good arguement as to why they would give you the old cold shoulder if you were to grow one.. two more items; first i could not understand why all the congregations and all the assemblys would give income reports.

and the society never did.

Edward Chitty, Governing Body - Former

1. jw
2. friends
this quote is from jerry bergman, phd.

i have seen quotes where his opinions are quite belligerent against the wtbts.

however, due to my childhood background, this quote is quite curious.. i have read inuendos about homosexuality amoung governing body - but have read no details nor explanations.
