  There is no such thing as Agnosticism. Agnostics do not exist!

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many here seem to believe that the position of agnosticism is somehow more reasonable than theism or atheism.

  nonsense!

  it is a misconception to believe that belief or non-belief in the existence of god/s are the two extremes which glare at each other over the fence of agnosticism.

  JW's 'tattling' on each other - an ugly culture.

  by Gregor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was an elder i often was approached by publishers who wanted to report some kind of bad conduct by a brother or sister.

  this led to all kinds of unpleasant, unloving situations.

  the first question of the accused was always "who told you this?

  Apocryphal Jewish Tradition in the New Testament

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the nt frequently refers to people and events of the ot, but time and again these references include details and assumptions that do not occur in the original ot narratives.

  but these same elements are found, time and again, in extrabiblical jewish tradition.

  taken together, we see that the nt writers drew on popular tradition and haggadah on the ot texts and thus preserved traces of these ancient expansions of biblical stories in their own writings.

  The ten best ways to disrupt a District Assembly:

  by czarofmischief in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  1. have an apostate food truck outside with free burritos and shasta cola.. 2. wear a smurf costume and run across the stage.. 3. bikini car wash across the street.. 4. have an old-school breakdancing session on the corner, cardboard and all.

  bonus if you do it on a mat made of watchtowers and primary colored book covers.. 5. have a garage sale or flea market in the neighborhood during the afternoon session.. 6. sit in the audience and applaud everything that anybody says - try to get a standing ovation for each sentence of the closing prayer.. 7. put a recording of rap, heavy metal, or other forbidden music on instead of the kingdom melodies.. 8. get fifty of your friends to walk around in the stadium during the session, holding signs that say, "louder please!

  " and "take your shirt off!

  The Watchtower and the Masons

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the latest edition of the free in christ ministries journal contains a very interesting article entitled the watchtower and masons.. drawing upon material from the book the watchtower & the masons by fritz springmeier, it gives the following parallels between the things that c t russell believed and those taught by the masons:.

  * both believe jehovah is the most important word being the basis of their dogma, and the name of their god.

  * both believe god yielded power to a lesser god.
