Lessons learned from the wife of lot drama
by purrpurr inthe video drama shown at the recent comvention was called "the wife of lot".
i noticed some stuble lessons being taught in this soap opera style video.... firstly, all the bad influence comes from women, its the wife and the mother in law whose pushing for more money and a better lifestyle.
while the men remain loyal to god, can't show the men going astray now can we?.

JW renaming things: "It's Not this, it's ....."
by Muddy Waters inthis was brought up in another thread, but i thought it should have its own thread.
feel free to add your own observations and experience.
the jws are so duplicit, and they rename things to somehow justify their own irrationalities.

"Is There a Creator Who Cares About You?" -- New Light Edition
by cognisonance inafter studying hubble space telescope images of the night's sky and attending classes under disguise at wor-wic community college (air travel and tuition funded by your donations no less), gerrit losch managed to secure a two-thirds majority vote among the governing body to release a second updated edition of the creator book.
this new edition replaces the "pillars of creation" (eagle nebula) cover photo with "god's birdie" (carina nebula):.
they've also had a change of heart with regards the concept of intellectual honesty and have updated the quote on page 9 that said:.

What do scriptural contradictions convey?
by venus inany book that claims to be god’s word should have the minimum qualification of clarity.
if any of its verses are open to many interpretations, it cannot be god’s word.
god can easily be crystal clear as traffic police who puts traffic signals (red means stop, green means start …etc.

So the GB has admitted that God does not communicate with them. Is there any other religion or person that God speaks to?
by deegee inwt february 2017 par.12, p.26:.
" the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.
therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction.

The OBVIOUS follow up questions for any JW after that paragraph is:
"Ok, so why should I listen to you about bible doctrine?"
"If you make mistakes, should you enforce strict rules that you can't be sure are right?"
"Why do you make laws about matters of sex, marriage, health, clothing... that should be up to the individual?"
"Do you have the right to kick people out of the organization because they do not follow your instructions, though you have made many many changes (been wrong) of the decades, and now say that god doesn't talk to you?"
