  JWs & Thological Books by Non-JWs

  by Spotlight in

  haven't posted here for ages but thought this would be a great place to get some help with this one.. i have noticed a current trend among some jws who are in the habit of reading theological works by non-jws.

  as far as i can see, the wt would certainly, at best, discourage this pass time, and at worst forbid it.

  a jw apologist who reads such books is telling me that jws do this and are free to do carry on without hinderence from the wt in this area.

  Hours on the Doors

  i wonder if people here could help me understand something (particularly ex or current jws).

  i have heard that jws are required to do at least 10 hours minimum on the doors to be considered "active".

  although there do not seem to be any written statements in wt literature, to this effect, it does seem to be something expected (almost like a talmudic oral law!

  Russell's reason for using the Winged Sun Symbol?

  by VM44 in

  does anyone know why charles rusell put the "winged egyptian sun disc" symbol on the covers of his studies in the scriptures?.

  particularly, did russell ever explain in writing the reason for his using it?.

  this is a good article, but does not indicate if russell wrote anything in print specifically about the symbol's use on the book covers.. http://www.premier1.net/~raines/disc.html

  Will Jehovah Forgive Your Sins If You Don't Confess To Men?

  by Englishman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why is it that jw's insist that you must confess your serious sins to earthly men in order to "put yourself right" with jehovah?.

  small isolated sins don't seem to matter much.

  however, there does seem to be a finely drawn line that demands confession to elders.. interestingly, once that finely drawn line has been crossed that demands confession to elders, so too has the line of what constitues a disfellowshipping offence.. for example, occasional masturbation is just about one side of that line, do it while someone talks dirty to you and you've crossed that line and entered the disfellowshipping area.
