it will come as no surprise to many here that the jw approach to interpreting the bible is greatly flawed.

jws believe the following about the bible without evidence:.

by The Searcher in

2. scandals
mr. jackson was pressured by angus stewart to answer if the org condoned corporal punishment, to which he openly stated that the org does not condone corporal punishment for j.w.

children.

this "fact" has never been revealed in the org's literature, in fact, this article which was published under geoffrey jackson's supervision, by definition demonstrates the org's approval of corporal punishment for j.w.

Building 500 new kingdom halls?
by Coded Logic in
1. jw
2. friends
the wtbts has to know they aren't actually going to see their numbers significantly jump anytime soon/ever right?

are they planning on cutting the rbc down to 1/10th the work force so they can actually slow down their kh projects instead of increasing them?

or do they think their little website scheme is actually going to bring in more people?.

The Worst Way of Living
by Coded Logic in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the unexamined life is not worth living.. -socrates.

holding all of humanity in contempt and degrading every achievement of mankind as being insignificant is not a philosophy or a worldview worth having.

tell me, oh self righteous jw, what was the price of your integrity?

Suicide - How many do you know within the JWs
by Lady Lee in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
thw wts likes to play games with their statistics.

one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?

if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.
