The NWT Bible should be made of jelly or chewing gum so that the GB can stretch and compress the teachings as they see fit.

Now why would the WT not ask former elders the 3rd question?
by wheelwithinwheel inin chapter 3 of ks-10, paragraph 13 (page 35), the wt corp provides the precise questions that are to be asked aspiring elders before announcing their appointment.
there are only 2 for qualifying brothers who have served previously.
brothers not having served before must be asked a 3rd.. .

Ultimate Reality saw the light. It's a lawyer's gadget. It seems pedophilia trials suck the most of the Wanktower Society's pockets so they need to take some measures...Though it won't help them much...

Does the Watchtower contain photo's of the Devil
by jwfacts ini have not been able to find any photo's of satan the devil in the watchtower.
there are photo's of the serpent with eve, satan's hand offering kingdoms to jesus and a shadowy cloaked figure speaking to jesus on the mountain.
apart from that i cannot locate any of a proper looking devil.

Wow, this Satan in Caminante's picture looks like a r&f JW! No beard, reasonable short hair, angry look, pointy finger... I think he's ready for field ministry! He could very well pass the test for baptism and "reach out" for an elder appointment...

Do you agree to disagree?
by cyberjesus insometimes in many conversations or debates, some people try to end it by saying "i agree to disagree".
if you have an inquisitive mind and critical thinking, are you comfortable disagreeing about factual information?
i am not referring to opinion.

I agree there must be some sort of creature or thing who created the Universe...But it's not Jay Hoover, for sure.

My Good Deed Today
by Cthulhu ini was in the sale room of the tawas city library, saw a new world translation of the holy scriptures (the bible used and abused by the jehovah's witnesses).
i included that in my purchase and will do away with it this evening.
it's my way of helping keep utter nonsense out of the hands of the gullible and vulnerable.

I just burned my collection of WT and Awake and all the other literature I had. And the Cd's. Around 40 kg of paper. I was a lazy-ass publisher droid! Bee-beep!

Thanks and Goodbye
by brotherdan ini really do appreciate all the help you guys have given me in this process.
but it's time for me to leave.
it was time for me to leave the wt (at least in my mind) when it became damaging to me.

Before I studied the Scriptures, they were like a magic book hidden in a misty cloud. Their content was interesting and pertinent and esoteric. When I studied them very close, verse by verse, I understood they are not the Truth. It's just a story invented by some people a few thousands years ago. I'm sorry, but that is what I believe. And it hurts to see all the religions of the Christianity, including the JW (which are a little worse than the others), rob the individuals of their freedom and of their money.
God is almighty, but needs our money wherever we hide, wherever we run. And Jesus resurrected the dead, healed the sick, confronted kings and priests and no damn contemporary historian mentioned him? I'm done believing in fairy-tales.
Farewell, brotherdan, don't let our freedom of speech get in the way of your freedom of speech. You were an inspiration.
In the day when this forum will forbid speaking of God in a mocking manner, I will leave too. I do not want to replace a blind eye with another blind eye of a different color.

Are you suspicious of LURKERS?
by VampireDCLXV inwe all know they're here but we don't really know who they are.. they are people who sign up here and then never comment (or rarely ever do).. doesn't that make any of you regulars here at the very least a tiny bit suspicious?.
why would a person sign up to a forum like this and then never say a damn thing?
it seems to me that there is a primary reason why some folks sign up and then never comment on anything: to spy.

I was a lurker until 8 days ago. Used to read a lot as a guest. I think 99% of the lurkers are people like me, on the verge of DA or DF. They build up they doubts and their hatred towards the Flimsy and Disgusting Slavedriver and one day they just go and tell their elders to screw off. Then they come back here, register and share their experiences. That's what I did. I became an apostate and I'm damn proud of it!

Elders Can Hide their Own Sins from the Past-Yet Continue as Elders? Read
by flipper ini was shocked ( though i probably shouldn't have been ) when reading the new elders manual concerning whether elders have to confess up about former sins from a few years earlier.
notice this on pg.
38 , paragraph 19 : it states, " if it comes to light or an appointed brother confesses that he has committed a disfellowshipping offense years in the past : the body of elders may determine he can continue to serve if the following is true : the immorality or other serious wrongdoing occured more than a few years ago, and he is genuinely repentant, recognizing that he should have come forward immediately when he sinned.

Well, if Jehovah himself did not came down from heavens and condemn you, brother, it means you still have his approval after all this years!
