Awake! says we can pray in Jesus' name!!!
by Leolaia inaccording to this, jesus is not just the mediator of the 144,000 -- he's the mediator of mankind!!
and apparently "dear jesus" prayers are okay!
the watch tower says i can say, "dear jesus, you are my mediator as you are for all mankind..." "the bible clearly says that jesus christ is mankind's redeemer, so he is mankind's mediator.

Rutherford's Views on Women
by Leolaia in"the women make monkeys or dupes of men.
the men have before effeminate, soft and easily influenced and have lost their real manhood and sturdiness in the affairs of state and home.
for instance, when men are sitting at a table and a woman approaches, all the men arise and pay her homage and thereby elevate her to a place above men.

I don't always pay attention to the sell by date, but if it starts to smell bad, I think you should throw it out.

Why JW Baptism is done as a "public declaration"
by Mad Sweeney inhave you ever wondered why jehovah's witnesses can't get baptized by their bible study conductor in their private pool?
or why they don't get baptized at their local kingdom halls?
why do they "make a public declaration" before thousands?.

This is an interesting topic. I do wonder though, if we aren't giving the governing body too much credit? If Ray Franz is to be believed, half of them are asleep at the wheel. Is this just a self sustaining thing? Is it running on autopilot now? Is it possible that these guys are just as deranged as they sound and there is no master plan at all? Just what is the educational level of the governing body? Is that information known?

I am comforted by the fact they are here. Right now they are elders, in time they fade and new ones will take their place. It's the circle of life.

Nickolas, there are now places where you can buy reprints of all of the studies of the scriptures as well as most of the early wts etc. Inexpensively. It's not that the information isn't out there, it is. It's the originals we need to prove they aren't "fakes".
