  yesterday morning while driving heading for the grocery store i saw four jw women out in "service".

  they were walking very slowly on a street where there were no people out and about.

  i observed them for several minutes.

  New WT and Higher Education...Beware of the logical fallacy in the first sentence.

  by maninthemiddle in

  2. bible

  beware of the logical fallacy in the first sentence, not to mention all the loaded language.. .

  wt 2011-11-15. .

  11 vigilant christians refrain from using the world to the full with regard to higher education.. many people in this world consider higher education an indispensable stepping-stone to prestige and an affluent.

  To Dissassociate or just Fade into Inactivity ? Your Choice ? Reasons ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this has been asked before, however i thought it may be good for newer members of the board to read some of our reasons on how we decided to exit the jw cult and why we decided to do it the way we did.. first off - i have been faded for almost 8 years.

  essentially i decided to fade into inactivity and not da because i have elderly jw parents who would shun me if i did get dfed or daed myself.

  also- i like keeping open the possibilities that some of my many jw relatives may in time start doubting and have questions and reach out to me in my inactive state.

  How much does it really cost to run an Assembly Hall? Real data.

  by Paralipomenon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in canada, any corporation registered as a charity is public information.

  i occassionaly browse them to see what's going on, but i wanted to give some updated data.. http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/chrts-gvng/lstngs/menu-eng.html.

  if you are curious, you can type in jehovah, or assembly or circuit to get tax information (including donations and expenses) for all of them.. for their assembly halls it shows much of what has been already told.

  Opinion-Is This Clear Evidence that Jehovah's Holy Spirit is with The Watchtower?

  by DavinciCodeBreaker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was having a discussion with an aquaintance about if there was evidence that the watchtower has jehovah's holy spirit.

  he said, "given the fact that no other organization has won more supreme court cases than jehovah's witnesses to protect their religious freedom in north america and abroad is unrefutable evidence of jehovah's blessing by means of his holy spirit".. your thoughts?.

  Rutherford 1942 "Don't have kids till after Armagedon...Watchtower 2008 same advice!! Sick!

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was shocked to read in the "witnesses only" study watchtower this stupid rutherford policy was still in place, compare.. rutherfords last book "children" {ironic title} 1942 - page 281 "wait until after armagedon to bring children into the world...it is only afew years...until armagedon...those with infants will have greater woe...it will be a far greater difficulty to care for them during the tribulation...".

  so if you were 20 years old in 1942 and waited......till 2011.....do the math.. wachtower 2008 april 15 p.19 "heading: "single and childless for a noble purpose.

  " ...numerous couples have decided to remain childless...to remain free to serve jehovah...putting kingdom interests above some of the privledges that go with marriage...jehovah will not forget...there will be a great tribulation...it will be a difficult time for us adults and children alike...".
