  maybe hate means loving to a lesser degree

  The book Insight on the Scriptures (Watchtower 1988) mentions this.

  What do you think Cofty? As a former elder.

  Do you ever get frustrated and feel dirty after sharing experiences on JWN?

  it's a giant boil on my butt, thinking how long we all were tricked by a cult.

  reading so many of our fellows threads, it help's reinforce we made the correct choice in mentally or physically leaving the watchtower's path to truth, they never had it and nobody can prove they did!

  ray franz jr. came to that conclusion, even he had to accept "this is not the best of all relgions, in fact, it's on the bad side!

  Did You Feel Guilty As A Witness Because Of Your Sexuality?

  did you feel guilty over your sexual feelings or actions, while you were a jw?

  the watchtower always wasnts people to feel guilty.

  i know of many witnesses that would pioneer or volunteer for something, as an act of penance for their sexual sins or desires, even if they were married!.

  October 1914

  by Quendi in

  we have had a great discussion about world war i and its impact on the twentieth century.

  i hope we can have an equally interesting exchange about october 1914. we all know how important that date was in the history of jehovah's witnesses but what may be murkier is the wts's later thinking on what happened that month and when.

  charles taze russell and his followers expected the gentile times to conclude in that month with the battle of armageddon.

  There was a great burst of applause and as one person present on the occasion said later, 'We expected the table and chairs to begin rising in the air' as a sign of their being raised to heavenly life.

  This reminded me of a paragraph in the book Jehovah's Witnesses in the Divine Purpose (Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society 1959) page 19 where it says about 1 Corinthians 15:51,52

  'it had been expected "that at some time the living saints would be suddenly and miraculously caught away bodily, thenceforth to be forever with the Lord." Believing this would take place in 1878, some were disappointed because nothing occurred that they could see.'

  Pastor Russel got light on this 'Instead they would be changed instantaneously at death to be present with him. This was really an important revelation of scripture...'

  Does anyone live by any Bible stuff?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is not meant to be a slag off the bible thread.. i had a question asked me the other day and it was: 'do you live by anything from the bible?'.

  i had to think about that one because i was force grown in the filthy, disgusting cult of the paedophile loving watchtower(r).. you know what?

  i really don't know if i just naturally am a great bloke or if any 'nice' bits in the bible influenced me......or has western culture been influenced by the bible for good and bad?.

  How do you measure a Jehovah’s Witness?

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  im just thinking outloud and, of course, you are welcome to think aloud with me.. (1) there are the metrics used in the yearbook totals.

  the average publisher count measures only those who reported time.

  likely, most of those who attend the memorial are those inactive or somehow associated in some way, shape, or form.. (2) there is meeting attendance.

  i thought that real Jehovah's Witnesses were the 144,000.

  from another viewpoint. i would think only those that identify themselves as JW's and in so doing join in the witnessing work are JW's
