  Musings on the WTS Funk

  by Farkel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower society is in a funk.

  no doubt about it.

  it is stagnant and paralyzed by its own inertia.. it has survived for one and one quarter centuries for a few very simple reasons: .

  "Questions From Readers"...are they r...

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just like the urban legends that we all heard at assemblies, we also read questions from readers in the wts rags...did you guys ever read those while you were still jws and think "oh my god...there is no way that some 8 year old wrote or even said any of this.

  " or when you heard at assemblies that we should be soooo thankful because the brothers in africa are walking through gator infested, malarial waters with their children on their backs and their book bags and meeting clothes on their heads, through monsoon rains 74 miles each way to attend their assemblies.

  my mother used to say the same thing about cleaning my plate because there were kids in whoknowswhere starving to death.

  Watchtower Reprints Query

  by Mr Angry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi to all again.. about a year before i packed it in back in late '90 the wts reprinted (in english in the uk) the wt bound volumes from 1960 - 1979.. in view of the (even then) dodgy information (e.g.

  the 1975 issue in the 1968 bound volume) i wondered why they did this.

  ok so the internet wasn't around but i would have thought that the last thing the wts would do was draw attention to issues they would rather forget.

  Pink Songbooks - Green Bibles

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  those of us who've been around long enough will understand the title.

  what we are looking for here are examples of the society's lack of taste.. for example, i'm sure our kingdom hall wasn't the only one in the 70's with dark brown carpeting that rose halfway up the walls and a nice trendy rubber plant in the corner of the platform!.

  nic'.

  my dad asked the co about this one.

  mat 27:52-53. and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, .

  Hello to all

  by Mr Angry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello to all.. i have been a lurker here for about 2 weeks and been so impressed at the friendship shown and the honest debate i thought i would join in.. my name is rick and my jw story is at http://www.jwfiles.com/jws-leaving/rick.htm if your interested.

  it also saves a lot of unecessary typing here.. i use the user name of mr angry so as not to be confused with the rick that was on h20.

  to confuse the matter further rick is not my real name as i have family still in the truth (how i hate that term) and i dont wish my real identity to be revealed at this stage.

  What would you have done without the WT?

  by expatbrit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  imagine that you had never heard of the watchtower.

  imagine that your life and that of your families had never been influenced by wt teachings.. i know for a fact that the wt's philosophy on further education contributed to my not achieving what i should have at school.

  this is not to shirk the responsibility for my grades; ultimately they were my responsibility.
