  Four Questions Logical JW's Can't Answer

  by Suspicious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  here are 4 simple questions most jw's (even elders) cannot logically answer.. .

  1)if jw's are to completely stay away from all forms of demonism, why do many jw's watch magical disney movies?.

  * watching magic/demonism is not a matter of conscience.. * there is no gray area when it comes to magic.

  There are more than 4 questions that you could ask a JW, that they would have a hard time replying to.

  Well, Long Term Care Facilities are necessary. They also need to make a profit, otherwise, they will fail and the residents will have to seek care elsewhere. It's good that such facilities exist because some elderly ones feel unconfortable in Homes that feature holidays that are not practiced by JW's. The pricing $3,000. per month is about average for this type of arrangement.

  In Canada the JW LTC's can't discriminate and only accept JW's. This would be discriminatory, and would violate goverment legislation.

  There Is No Key To Happiness!

  by abiather in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  religions make it appear that there is a key to happiness and give the impression that they have the key, and enjoy people always look to them for happiness!.

  interestingly, jesus meant there is no key to happiness, but it is the very nature of all human beings.

  (luke 17:21) people like jws did not even translate this verse properly.

  They really should alter the whole non-blood policy, whole, and fractions into a personal concience decision. They won't do this because of the amount of lives that were affected by the early non-blood policy. A reversal of this would really send shockwaves throughout the whole organization.

  I'm tired of seeing young people die of Leukemia in our faith, and I have an elderly neighbour in the 80's have his transfusion and continue's to live. The diffirence is, the fear of exercising your right of concience, because of consequences.

  Understand: Our salvation is not Jesus' primary concern

  by pixel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ...at least that's what the sunday study said:.

  "at the same time, we need to understand that our salvation is not jesus' primary concern.

  his main purpose from the beginning to the end of his earthly ministry was to work for the sanctification and glory of his father's name".

  Yes good observation, Pixel. I wondered about that when it was considered at the WT study.

  go to jw.org right now friends and you will see a young male jw witnessing in a rural setting with publication in hand and - take careful note - wearing a crisply-white open-neck shirt.

  bring out the carnival, light the lights: the organ ization is kicking itself into an ongoing casualization of its rank and file.. in the 1960s through 1980s i know brothers who dared to attire themselves sans ties who were reprimanded or worse.

  Scully, I do remember those cold Quebec winters. You should become a snowbird like me. Half the year I wear no tie, and sandals in FS, and the other half I wear a tie.
