  An Intro and apology.

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been an avid reader on this site for a few years and have weighed in on a few topics and introduced a few more without introducing myself.

  for this i apologise.

  the main reason for my reticence is that being a second generation born in but having been baptised in the 50s i will find it difficult to make an introduction without giving the game away.

  Do they use Jehovah's name repeatedly because it's their name?

  by WalkTall in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking when reading another thread where it was mentioned how god's name was never used in the nt, but how often it is uttered in khs that it is used so often, not because we need to use his name, but because it is the name associated with their organization.

  it is their name really.

  could that be why it's used so often?.

  2. friends

  do you ever look back and cringe thinking of things you said or how you acted in the door-to-door ministry?.

  i recently had two jws at my door and posted about that here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/210246/1/jws-at-my-door.

  they were gracious and polite.

  What if everyone just told the truth ....?

  by Will Power in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what if everyone just told the truth .... about why they are fading?

  i wonder what kind of articles would be written?.

  "i'm too busy at work" less controlling articles about gathering material things just to show off etc... "i need an education to get a good job" no more guilt over fame, recognition etc.

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the double think standards of jehovah's witness authority is best illustrated by the following:.

  jehovahs witnesses refuse to buy the malawi congress party card.

  this card declares the holder to be a member of the ruling political party of malawi.

  How the Watchtower MELTDOWN fits in the stream of time

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from puritan times there was an urge to expand the kingdom of god on earth by creating as many communities of christians as possible.. this was to be done by setting a "pure" example of utopian harmony.

  a "shining city on a hill" with a beacon of light for all nations to see.. perfectionism and personality development was key.. .

  it was to be christianity by example!.
