  There is the 2 witness rule. Unless there is any corroborating evidence, and if they follow the "rules" then they leave it in "gods" hands. But the one denying it will be scrutinized for sure. It will also be a topic when the CO comes.

  Things we an say on our death bed...

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  1) i am glad i had the courage to live my life true to myself and not the life others expected of me.. 2) i am glad i had the courage to express my feelings.. 3) i am glad i let myself be myself.. 4 ) and i hope i have so many days, and years to live those thoughts, because surely the most wonderful thing about having left our " watchtower death bed" is to start living?.

  in my case at 50 !!.

  but the important thing is when we leave, to start living.. any experiences worth sharing?.

  Exact same boat - fading now - hard of course because of family.

  But I want to be able to say all those things too.

  So many doors have been closed, trying to kick open one or two new ones.

  let's set aside our differences for the moment and appreciate this excellent documentary cedars put together that should prove to be an invaluable tool in helping to expose the child abuse issues in the organization.. i was humbled to be able to help with this project on such an important subject, though my part in it was insignificant..

  We need CNN, the Times or MSNBC to pick up this story and make it national like with the Catholic Church!

  2. bible

  watchtower caught lying again in the december 15th article “a living translation of god's word”.

  more like a lying then a living translation of god”s word if you ask me.

  but i digress... .

  So I am no expert for sure. 3 things though.

  1. I don't know if using the "name" JWs use is really wrong. I have seen it spelled out in very old churches in europe for myself, so it was used in that past. Hard to say it's not been in use for a long time, maybe not as long as they claim?

  2. No one has issue with using the name and pronunciation of Jesus which has similar grammar.

  3. Your source. I don't trust other religious sources in general any more than the WT, and the article has not references you can check.

  It is infuriating how the WT crapps on everyone else, especially in light of how they had done nothing original themselves. Everything they have written about and the majority of the core beliefs were Pirated from others.

  For years I would argue when some article came out about history or science or such, that by the way I had heard about many months before on NPR (someone there has there radio tuned to WNYC), reminding people that the WT does not have a research department breaking new ground in Medicine, History, Science. The friends get the idea that the geniuses in brooklyn discover this stuff on their own, and don't just plagiarized things.

  I think the bigger issue with the "name" in the new "slippery sword" is how many times they put it in where it was definitely NOT! So much for "he who adds or takes away."

  Religion is just a destructive deceptive and corrupt force on man.

  Jehovah's Witnesses: A Clear Decline

  by Hadriel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it is rather clear that the internet is to put it mildly, wrecking the world of the watchtower bible & tract society.

  if not for foreign language i doubt there would be much growth at all.. digital trends and analytics are very real.

  i live this analytics world i assure you to some degree you can take it to the bank.

  My meeting yesterday

  by stephanie61092 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i just wanted to jot down some thoughts and feelings about my meeting yesterday.... first, the wt, paragraph 16. i couldn't help but laugh to myself at the blatant hypocrisy.

  god’s word admonishes us “to live with soundness of mind ... amid this present system of things.” (titus 2:12) having “soundness of mind,” or being sober-minded, should certainly come into play when the explanation of a diagnostic method or therapy seems strange or mysterious.

  can the practitioner or the one promoting it explain satisfactorily how it works?

  Paragraph 18 Says -- We cannot expect now to be cured miraculously. However, Revelation 22:1, 2 points to the time when we will be healed completely. The apostle John saw in vision “a river of water of life” and “trees of life” with leaves “for the healing of the nations.” This does not refer to any herbal remedy now or in the future. Rather, it points to Jehovah’s provision through Jesus for giving everlasting life to obedient mankind—truly something we can look forward to.

  But they forgot the Asterisk pointing to the footnote: * should read - User Soundness of Mind when reading the Bible or anything from the WatchTower.

  "Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance."
  -Isaac Newton, Physics, Mathematics

  I can find NO evidence that Newton ever said this.

  
  Also at the time - how would it have been possible for Newton to know that there was a "proper" distance?
  
  "Principia" or any of his other writings did not deal with Solar Radiation - nor any musings on there being a "Goldilocks Zone?

  This quote only shows up on Pro Christian websites, and on sites where people are asking if he said it.
