Why Don't JW Congregations have a Choir?
by journey-on in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
even if it were just four or five good singers that practice during the week and get to know the new songbook well, this would benefit the whole congregation.

music is such a vital part of the overall emotional connection to the gathering, a well-rehearsed choir singing along with the congregation would encourage and uplift, don't you think?.

what is the society's reasoning for not doing this?.

Content is King- Why the Meetings Fail
by LostGeneration in

2. beliefs
one of the big sayings for those that run websites is that "content is king" it makes perfect sense, as sites like this one have entertaining content for the targeted audience.

even better, more content is added everyday bringing users back repeatedly.

poptular tv shows and movies are loved because they entertain customers for a low cost or free.. on the other hand, you have the content provided by the watchtower bible and tract society, delivered though the pages of the watchtower and through weekly meetings.

WHY WOULD IT BE IMPORTANT WHETHER JESUS DIED ON A CROSS OR A STAKE?
by dgp in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i read on a recent thread that one of the magazines now has the old story of whether jesus really died on a cross.

i know the idea behind this chorus line is to say that you're being lied to as to how jesus died.

if they lied to you about this simple thing, what else would they lie to you about?.

If The Watchtower discourages Greek language study, why did they publish the KIT?

2. beliefs
if the watchtower discourages the study of biblical languages, then why did they publish twice, in 1969 and 1985. the kingdom interlinear translation of the greek scriptures?.

would this not actually encourage the study of the greek language?.

New Light
by Spade in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i've noticed quite a few dissidents of jehovah's organization that have left with some fixation on jehovah's witnesses concept of new light.

i really don't understand.

the antiquity of religion may be historically educational, but not always personally illuminating.

How many here have never been one of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by Spade in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
how many here have never been one of jehovah's witnesses?

there seems to be a common denominator of former witnesses who accuse the watchtower society of being a false organization.

what they crave is acknowledgment that their way is the best way.

The Bible as inerrant and complete, or sufficient.
by dgp in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i think we will agree that the wt holds it that the bible is the inerrant word of god.

this is an idea that i just learned from a blog.. the idea is very, very simple:.

the bible is considered "inerrant" and "sufficient".. meaning, it contains no errors, but it is also all you need for salvation.
