Maybe I should max out my credit cards and enjoy some material things.

Is the faithful slave hiding something

by bobld in

see new 2010 wt cd-rom.ex past wt's not all info included compared to the bound volumes.. b.

The WTBT$ pulled the same stunt years ago about the big 'A' coming within the 20th century in one of the magazines and the hardbound volume issue has the "20th century" printing deleted. The FDS like to make changes.

What was the worst part of the conventions for YOU?

by mochamint22 in

i thought it'd be fun to talk about what part of the conventions just made you cringe or be annoyed with.

i can remember a couple things:.

i remember after the tms when they put the list in the back on the announcement board, there were people that would get up while the last song was being sung to write down the info.

I remember an over weight guy with dark sun glasses on and ear phones plugged into his head. He never moved an inch that day at the assembly. LOL

1947 Awake Says Excommunication is Unbiblical and Pagan!

by Ding in

january 8, 1947 awake!:.

excommunication is "altogether foreign to biblical teachings.".

it's an unbiblical roman catholic teaching by which "you are looked upon with the blackest contempt... being cursed and damned with the devil and his angels.".

Could this Awake! article be used against the new Elders book where 7 chapters or so talk about DF- ing? I'm saving this for proof.

Has anyone noticed that they are really pushing that Satan is after us and how much the world hates us.

by life is to short in

it seems like the january 15th wt and the march 15 wt are about satan attacking us.

maybe it is because i am seeing things more clearly or maybe they are truly using it more.

they are really getting into the fact that the world hates us a quote from the jan 15th wt on page 30 says "the world is basically hostile toward us.

paladin

I have noticed this is being pushed at nearly every meeting which is just old news.

Thinking of writing a letter

by ranmac in

forgive me if this has been touched on many times before.. i was wondering if anyone has actually written the society requesting their response/justifications to the many discrepencies and flaws in their doctrine and history, such as failed/altered dates and prophesies, pyramidology, beth sarim, lack of transparency, economic and political ties to the world, how they no more than archeologists, biblical contradictions, etc, etc..... if so, what was their response?.

paladin

I wrote a letter along with a photo copy of the Awake! May 2009, page 11 and a copy of Dr. Michael Jursa's article regarding a finding at the British Museum. The WTBT$ wrote me back and said the British Museum's date of 587 BC is wrong and that 607 BC is correct regarding Jerusalem's being sacked by Nebuchadnezzer ll. The WT$ will not admit they are wrong.
