  CO says, "people accuse us of not believing in Jesus!"

  is he right or wrong?.

  during his talk, the circuit overseer asked what kinds of negative information get spread about jehovah's witnesses.

  of course, the question was rheoctorical, the audience didn't answer.

  (Hebrews 1:5-6) 5 For example, to which one of the angels did he ever say: "You are my son; I, today, I have become your father"? And again: "I myself shall become his father, and he himself will become my son"? 6 But when he again brings his Firstborn into the inhabited earth, he says: "And let all God’s angels do obeisance to him."

  Obeisance=worship so therefore the Angels who the bible states are higher life forms than us worship not just Jehovah but Jesus as well. Whats the JW's excuse for not doing the same then?

  Not too many... I guess it depends on the general demeanor of the people in the area you live in as well as how the person's mental state is at the moment. In general I find that most people dont even want to bother with JWs, they are at best an annoyance to be excused away. In my area you do get the occasional "I dont want that shit" or "Get the f**k out of my yard" but usually we get the annoyed look and "I'm not really interested" as if shooing away a fly.

  What's The Dumbest JW Belief?

  i have to think believing in the blood doctrine has to be the dumbest, especially because accepting the watchtower view can kill you.

  elders and alcohol

  by chuckyy in

  2. experiences

  when i was an elder most of the rest of the body drank like fish, some would regularly get drunk and it was always ignored.

  then these very same elders would reprove a young lad for excessive drinking!

  was there similar hypocrisy in your cong????.

  Yes with a few of the elders, myself included there for a while until I stopped cold turkey because I realized that becoming a drunk wouldnt get me out of the WT the way I wanted to exit. I have a feeling many elders douse themselves in ethanol to deal with being an elder.

  The May 2002 broadcast of the Dateline NBC special on JW pedophiles. The evidence was overwhelming that the WT wasnt handling these cases in a loving, christian way when Bill Bowen called the WT legal dept and taped the conversation "... if there is no confession then leave it alone, Jehovah will bring it out" Something like that...

  That made my skin crawl... I figured what else could they be doing wrong, 4 yrs later they are doing a whole lot wrong I came to find out.

  Just after noon today, I called the Brothers in Brooklyn writing dept.
  about this, just finished a long conversation with them.

  I think the writing dept is in Patterson, NY now. Also does he know someone in writing? Normally those kinds of calls go to the service dept or public relations if its a news agency.

  Crisis of Conscience and the highly reccomended follow up "In Search of Christian Freedom" will help you to not feel guilty about not doing more for the WT. Makes you realize that you were slaving for a purely manmade institution period!
