  Only Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what do you think of this rant?.

  “jehovah's witnesses are the only true religion.

  this is demonstrated by a slew of true teachings that only jehovah could have revealed to his servants on earth.

  JW stopped me in the street.....

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  he pulled up in his car beside me and asked for directions, then he recognized me, we used to be in the same congo.. the usual pleasantries, i gave him directions, and then "when are you going to come back then" he asks.. "never" i say, "well, it has all changed" he says, " it's not like it used to be" i detect a tone of regret.. "but you know there is nowhere else to go" he boldly proclaims.. "yes there is !

  " say i, "there is somewhere where you can find truth, and truth is supported by facts and evidence ".

  he had to drive off then as he was blocking a narrow street, i did not get time to say " go to jw facts.com", i will tell him next time..

  Joseph Rutherford = Donald Trump

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been rereading a lot about rutherford lately; about his personality and the kind of person he was.

  i have come to the conclusion that he was a lot like donald trump.. he was an accused womanizer.. he was a narcissist with a self inflated ego.

  he claimed to be persecuted by the media all the time.

  Fun with Google Trends

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in case you don't know, google trends is a fantastic tool - it lets you look at search terms over time and view trends.

  it can, for instance, tell you if interest in something is growing or diminishing based on how many people are searching for it.. of course it can't tell if the searches are for negative or positive information .... here's some results for jw related terms:.

  Why remove John 8:1-11 in the NWT if these verses speak highly of Jesus

  by I_love_Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i understand these verses were removed in the nwt as well as some other bibles because they were added later & considered uninspired.

  jesus protected an adultress so why remove it?

  it fits in nicely with his teachings, does it not?

  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?.

  Do JWs eat shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, and mussels?

  by sacolton in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'll play devil's advocate.... true, the mosaic law code prohibited the eating of blood.

  but jesus fulfilled the law covenant thus wiping out all the laws previously set.

  but then later, (through god's spirit, of course wink wink) the abstaining of blood was again brought to followers of christ.

  2. experiences

  just wondering if anyone from minnesota or new zealand knew of a mike and alice krammer.

  they were pioneers in minnesota and possibly got into the circuit work while there and then heard they moved to where the need was greater in new zealand.
