  Simple yes/no answers

  by goddidit in

  2. beliefs

  i just can't understand jw beliefs so i thought i'd try to get some simple yes/no answers.

  this is a genuine effort to understand and i hope nobody takes it as an insult.

  hope some of you folks don't mind spending a bit of time on this.

  Do JW's read other books?

  by InterestedOne in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i ask my jw friend if she has read various classic books, she says, "i don't like to read.

  " however, she of course reads all the wt stuff.

  i don't know too many jw's, but the ones i have seen in the meetings seem mostly uneducated and, even when speaking from the platform, seem almost illiterate - that is, unable to pronounce certain words even in the wt literature.

  Sayings of Everlasting Life heard "Nowhere Else" but in JW Organization?

  by InterestedOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just finished reading the 9/15/2010 wt study edition article for nov 8-14, and the last few sentences of paragraph 7 on page 18 jumped out at me.

  referring to the "one association" which i assume means the jw organization, the author says "... where else can we turn?

  nowhere else can we hear the sayings of everlasting life.
