  May 15 WT sisters support your husband.....or else!

  by hoser in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the new study watchtower page 9 explains how sisters should be happy to be servants to their elder husbands.. "co-operate in financial matters".

  "joyful to see her husband active in the congregation".

  if he makes a decision you disagree with "she displays a quiet and mild spirit and cooperates with him to make his decision work".

  Prov 4:18 + Matt 24:45 = Obey the Governing Body (a secular business title), of Jehovah’s Witnesses or get shunned by your loved ones.

  Or....

  Prov 4:18 + Matt 24:45 = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

  Using non connected, out of context scripures to prop up the lie that it's a religion when it's just a big business.

  Did you do very early morning field service?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my old congregation, there was a group of dubs who started field service at 4am - yes, that's 4 o'clock in the morning.

  i went with them on a few occasions.. to be ready, you'd have to be up at least 3:30am to get washed and dressed and maybe get a bite to eat.. at 4am, our designated driver would show up along with a couple of sleepy eyed jws trying to "get their time in.

  " many times we'd go pick up a jw only to find they forgot about service and overslept.. .

  Not even when I pioneered! I'd bung a leaflet in a neighbour's door, start counting time and meet with the group, get some street numbers and carry on from there.

  Early morning? Still hung over from being 'filled with spirit' the night before down the pub!

  New World Translation into other languages; anyone knows of any critics?

  by dgp in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  perhaps this is the wrong place to post such a question, but, is anyone aware of any criticism of the new world translation as rendered into other languages, say, spanish, portuguese, french?.

  if you open a non-english version of the nwt, you find that they very clearly say you're holding a translation from english into whatever the target language is, only "checking against the hebrew and greek originals".

  this is to say, there is a pecking order that begins with the translation from the original languages into english, and then another, from english into all others.

  Why would abandoning 1914 mean they are not chosen by God?

  by InterestedOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've read here that if the wt admits 607 is wrong or if 1914 is wrong, the logical result is that god did not choose them as his org.

  can someone explain to me how that logically follows?.

  couldn't they just say, "we have received new light on that, have learned that we cannot give a specific date (like how they abandoned 1935), but look, we adhere to the bible more strictly than anyone else, we strive to 'keep the cong clean' more than any other group, etc., so therefore, we must be chosen by god as his only org.

  Jehovah's Witnesses - Once Again the Fastest Growing Faith in the U.S.

  by davidl7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  according to the latest statistics published by the ncc in its yearbook of american and canadian churches, the jehovah's witnesess had the highest growth rate, in 2010 growing 4.37%.

  this is, i believe, is the 4th year in a row, that the witnesses had the highest growth rate.

  roman catholics grew by less than 1%, as did most of the other churches listed.

  The 'growth' that they always talk about.......oooOOooOoh, it's the growth! Proof positive it's the 'trooOOooOOOOth' and not a destructive cult!

  I must go back, resume being an Elder, give the grovelling body lots of my hard earned cash and do more in the organization or die at Armageddon (subject to overlapping).

  ..........no not really

  ..........................and if I do please shoot me!

  i detest this type of posting.

  it's only my opinion of course and so long as forum rules aren't breached we're all free to express ourselves as we see fit.

  doesn't mean i have to like it though.. honestly, can't you make your point without this kind of infantile name calling?

  I know of a bro who openly calls himself a 'Dub'.

  When I was 'in' I used terms you might think are derogatory like 'Indoctrination-Tower' as one instance. I was just displaying 'Irony' (which is like Bronzy or goldy but made of Iron)

  I will use ironic terms and to be honest, after the downright insults and shunning I've had from those who will live at the big 'A' when Im going to die (or so they think), I think it's letting the GB off lightly.

  I've been labled 'apostate', 'spiritually weak', 'out of the troooooooth', 'bad association' and all because I mind my own business and don't go to the meetings.

  Remember the GB are men who are guilty of all manner of evil including the death of humans due to their erroneous 'blood' stance.

  It isn't about maturity, it's about venting frustration..............and sometimes this is the only way to do it (although I TRY to avoid swear words................................if I'm not too angry!
