  by Perry in

  2. beliefs

  from ancient accounts hostile to christinity, we can learn the following:.

  jesus was born and lived in palestine.

  he was born, supposedly, to a virgin and had an earthly father who was a carpenter.

  Yea it's a good idea to believe some guy who is trying to sell BOOKS:)

  Amazing he has found rock solid evidence where thousands of accredited respected archaeologists and anthropologists have not.

  Of course we do have the Shroud of Turin :)

  My life as a fundamentalist

  by joey jojo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as a born-in jw, i never considered myself to be a fundamentalist.

  i always thought we were enlightened, progressive and not 'stuck in darkness' like all the other religions.. i was totally wrong.. as far as fundamentalists go, jw's are probably right up there amongst the front-runners.

  no, they do not stone people to death or go on religion-fuelled violent rampages but that's not what i'm talking about.

  Joey all 100% right.

  It's amazing when you have the wool removed from your eyes what you are able to see.
  Yet - all religions are Cults, it's just our type is one of the really bad ones since self determination is not allowed.

  Unfortunately I think the Mark Twain quote applies to the WT.

  “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”

  London111 - YES - it happens all the time, as if they were real photographs of real people!

  And the stories people make up when talking about them - OMG! It is so saddening that so many treat them like more than just illustration.

  AND!!! Why are all ancient people in JW media of all types ALWAYS SO WELL DRESSED AND GROOMED!

  These are people who had NO scissors to cut hair, and almost NEVER bathed, and were in dust ALL THE TIME!

  Today they would not allow Rahab in the Kingdom Hall!

  1st - She was a prostitute of Jericho. Could there be other characters to talk about with our kids?

  2nd - It says "learn how to draw Rahab". Excuse me, but do we have any photos of Rahab? Do we know what she looked like?

  3rd - The drawing below looks like a Disney character. -- I don't think Rahab would have looked like that.

  4th - Where did she get that hairstyle, and who is her stylist?

  Interesting article about the evidence of the Jewish Exodus

  by cappytan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the reality is that there is no evidence whatsoever that the jews were ever enslaved in egypt.

  yes, there's the story contained within the bible itself, but that's not a remotely historically admissible source.

  i'm talking about real proof; archeological evidence, state records and primary sources.

  When watching "In Search of Bigfoot" on the Leonard Nimoy TV show - the evidence seemed compelling.

  It's just like the WT. When you show only what you want to show, and put nothing into context with real science or archaeology, and have a point you want to make at the outset, then you can make an argument for anything. But putting all the evidence on the table invalidates those "theories" very easily.

  JW Version Of Spring Cleaning

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from the january study edition second study article paragraph 10:.

  we can use the memorial season as an opportunity to look through our wardrobe, our movie and music collections, perhaps even the material stored on our computers, smartphones, and tablets.if i were going to a place where jesus would be present, would i feel uncomfortable wearing this clothing?if i did wear it, would it be obvious to all that i am a follower of christ jesus?would jesus be entertained by watching this movie or by listening to this music?

  if he borrowed my cell phone or tablet, would i be embarrassed by what he saw there?as you consider the subject matter of a video game, ask yourself: would i find it difficult to explain to jesus why i enjoy playing it?

  Gross! Grooming of young brothers in the KH to do more for Jehobadahhh and his organ-nigh-say-shun! I saw it myself.

  by macys in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so there is this young brother probably 14 or 15 and the elders are already grooming him to do more for jehobadahhh.

  most of the elders in this kh are old like 60+ and sometimes there are not enough brothers to do the mics or sound so you will see a 70 year old elder forced into action.

  almost comical to see a brother who thinks instagram is an email service try to operate the sound system and projector as he plays the wrong song or brings the screen down during a prayer.

  Words omitted from a Watchtower article

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a short time ago i sought information regarding a quotation in the watchtower of april 1, 2010, which did not identify the exact source of the quotation from professor oskar skarsaune.

  my interest was heightened because words had been omitted from the source.. the wts provided a copy of the original 29-page article, which is in norwegian.. here is my very unofficial personal translation of the passage from professor skarsaune's article that the watchtower is quoting.

  firstly i provide the text as it appears in the watchtower magazine, highlighting where the text has been omitted.

  In reality - the same people who decided in the TRINITY decided the Cannon.

  The Catholic church is responsible for both those, as well as spreading the good news of the kingdom and Jesus to the world. Sorry JWs - the Catholic are the ones who made it known to the ends of the earth, not JWs.

  JWs only have any success (very small in reality) in countries where the CC already brought christianity.
