The difference between satan and watchtower's jehovah
by OMJ insatan doesn't expect anyone to watch his/her child die instead of take blood.
satan doesn't keep lying to us about when the world's gonna end.
in satan's world, child molesters are sent to jail.

JW Celebrities , Do you think they have anything more than a superficial understanding of Watchtower beleifs ?
by smiddy inthis is just something that has crossed my mind in the past , with ones such as the williams sisters ( tennis stars ) george benson ( music ) prince (pop star / music ) and the like, do you think they have any real indepth knowledge of the teachings of the watchtower bible & tract society ?
( jehovahs witnesses ) or are they just superficial beleivers ,what`s the latest fad in religion scenario , and once in, it`s not cool to break with it in a hurry.
maybe you can think of a few more celebrities that can be added here.. what`s your thoughts ?.

Certainly they don't (wanna) know much more from the Borg, I think they just want to get some underground religious coolness. I think it's a fail just like the celebrities with scientology, they could be better to relate to some hindu or shaman kind of religion.

A heart-wrenching comment from the JW survey...
by cedars ini've just received this comment from a country in the south china sea.
i'd rather not be more specific than that.. the english is poor, but the message is heart-wrenching.
any who question whether ordinary publishers wrestle with doubts need only read this message.

We Are Witnessing a New Enlightenment Age
by DarioKehl ingood day, everyone.. i choose not to post much, but i enjoy lurking several times a day.
i haven't seen anyone remark on the growing trend of apostacy globally, specifically within the last year.
i mean apostacy that's not just among jws.

I think the gap between secular people and nut believers will enlarge. In the future only very crazy people will be inside organized religions, the religion will not trap the thinking people anymore. I think it's that the future holds, a strong polarization.

My demon experience
by SweetBabyCheezits inone recent afternoon, me and a buddy were taking a trek around a nearby neighborhood and made our way past a delapidated house that had all the familiar symptoms of being haunted.
he suggested we check it out so, of course, we did.
it looked like it had been abandoned probably 30-40 years earlier but the previous owners had left behind a small coffee table.

{God hads no beginning or end. God also created our sense of time and the reality we perceive. Therefore your point is moot.}
Wow! Do you use that same logic to buy a used car?

Taking off the blood and shunning issues from WT it will be OK for me. If someone want to continue to believe all the other BS the WT teaches it's not my business.

If you were a Witness, when did you realize the Governing Body was apostate?
by matt2414 infor more than 30 years i believed everything that came from the watchtower society, especially since i lived at bethel for a while and i knew a lot of the gb members, who to me seemed intelligent and personable.
at the beginning, the emphasis was on the bible, the kingdom, jehovah and jesus.
but gradually over time, there would appear an elephant in the room that no one seemed to talk about, such as the change in the understanding of "generation.

The oddness of the books of Daniel and Isaiah, I still remember the book study meetings (now extinct) with those books and I just couldn't buy all that stuff. Plus when my mother gone through an surgery and the elders were not concerned about blood issues and seems to be very busy to gives us some assistence, as a born-in I felt a very lack of love from the elders.
Then, in the beggining of 2006 I did an independant research in the evil internet about the other religions views on who/what is the Babylon from the bible, andthem I was directed to a link about the WT views on wikipedia and there was a link to a man: Ray Franz. And the rest is history...
