the watchtower channel is ebbing.

one sister told me that the change in the number of meeting days from three days to two days is because of a shortage of funds needed to pay for utilities.

in this economy and the waning of finances the kingdom hall attendees can look forward to meeting once a week in the future.. .

JWs Myths are under Scrutiny

does repentance, faith and obedience equal worship?.

did jehovah/yah send the hebrew prophet jonah to help the pagan city nineveh to repent, have faith and obey to worship him?.

is it true that the god of israel was not satisfied with the worship of the nation of israel alone, he also envied the worship of the people in the great city nineveh, as he also wants the worship from the churches?

JWs have to face the truth.

the apostles were in favor of maintaining an organization, as they would have a stake in jesus establishing the kingdom then and there.

however, jesus/yeshua aimed for a different objective early on in his ministry.

true to form, religion was a stranglehold over gods people, and nary a difference today.

as a freelance writer would i not get disfellowshiped if i remained in the jehovahs witness organization?

apostasy and disfellowship are both fear-inspiring words that impede good sense and pro-activity.

in my instance, i walked away scot- free from this organization.

i agree that truth is progressivewe need more time to understand.

this is the excuse given by the members of the governing body for the changes in their understanding.

should not this latitude be granted the other religions?

whenever a student enrolls in an institution of learning he/she works hard at learning because the student looks forward to graduation.

your study of the bible is the prime thing, but do you lower your standard in this respect?

does jehovah/yah has a lower expectation of you than your educators at your school?

(hebrews 10:24,25 ) " and let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together--".

have you ever remarked that these scriptures do not say anything about teaching or instructing?

thats because such is the work of gods holy spirit.

as we all know, year after year the rank and file publishers in the jehovahs witness organization have been awaiting the grand announcement from the governing body the preaching work is done!.

the elderly and the infirm are the underdogs in the struggle to accomplish the ministry.

i was one among the large number of jehovahs witnesses who are sick, but prior commitment to this ministry shortened my hours of sleep considerably.

a pastor of the seventh-day adventist church asked me what babylon the great is.

i would like to share the answer with you since this is in the interest of every bible student.. .

he answered and said, " i was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of israel" (matthew 15:24).. jesus/yeshua also said: "and other sheep i have which are not of this fold; them also i must bring, and they will hear my voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd: ( john 10:16).. the jews found quite a number of the remarks uttered by jesus/ yeshua repugnant.
