  Finished Crisis of Conscience Recently

  by wallievase in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  well i finally got around to finishing crisis of conscience.

  2 things stood out to me most.. 1. the fact that the gb can question beliefs and noone else can.. 2. strangly the most disturbing fact- its a small one- but actually made the biggest impression on me out of the whole book-.

  the fact that they agreed to send him a copy of his meeting tapes and then refused and admitted in writing that they lied.. obviously there was much more that i got from it and i do find franz situation unique in that he had a whole support system outside of the "truth" and most today including myself have nothing- if i leave my wife hates me, my family wont talk to me, etc- it doesnt provide any solution for that scenario.. any thoughts on the above points- let me know.

  Persecuted Christians

  by IMHO in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  christians are the single most widely persecuted religious group in the world today.

  1. christian churches around the world have set apart the month of november to remember and pray for the persecuted church, through the international day of prayer for the persecuted church (idop).. 2. according to the u.s. department of state, christians in more than 60 countries face persecution from their governments or surrounding neighbors simply because of their belief in christ.. 3. with the exception of four official state-controlled churches in pyongyang, christians in north korea face the risk of detention in the prison camps, severe torture and, in some cases, execution for practicing their religious beliefs.

  north koreans suspected of having contact with south korean or other foreign missionaries in china, and those caught in possession of a bible, have been known to be executed.. 4. in syria, christians are increasingly becoming the target of violent attacks.

  Are all religions Apostates or That Evil Slave?

  by bruh in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if the religion now known as the catholic church is the christian religion jesus started, and based on the scripture(s) that men would rise up from among you and speak twisted things- wouldnt that make jehovahs witnesses, as a matter of fact all religions that stem from christianity- apostates or that evil slave(s) based on the faithful slave parable?.

  144,000 Number Complete in First Century???

  by bruh in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was watching the history channel's "the bible" and the part about the apostles life after jesus, the scene where the ressurected jesus appears to peter and tells him to go to cornileus (gentile/non jew)- got me wondering if at that point is it possible that the 144,000 number was filled/completed???.

  who knows???

  especially since the new fds change, the 1935 gathering is now thrown out- wonder what to believe from the organization now- wouldnt you think !!

  if they were able to win on this ground, they could get out completely (although it could still be appealed to the ca supreme court).

  Blondie can you help me find your research "How to treat disfellowshiped JWs"?

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  blondie i was reading where you posted information from 1952 onward on how we are to treat disfellowshiped members of our spiritual and physical family.

  you posted information from the kms, wt and other sources.

  i did a search and can't find it, one of the tidbits of information said that if a brother or sister has contact with the "disfellowshiped member" they should be disfellowshiped too.

  Communications during Armageddon

  by bruh in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this past wt study on the things that marks the end of the world---made me think in terms of armageddon and what the faithful slave would do if they couldnt communicate with thousands of congregations since the wicked/satans world runs the the modes/network of communications.

  i may not have all the facts as to the infastructure of the worlds communications but one things for sure---with the wicked destroyed at armageddon how does the society oh organization plan to communicate with the rank and file???

  wicked gone means that possibly the internet will not be working, post office will be down, mobile carriers/towers will be out of commission maybe, tv stations will be out of commission.

  i know a brother who went to the most recent annual meeting.

  older brother, non-annointed, elder, wife a pioneer, and overall a pretty good dude.

  he let me take a peak at the new awake dropping in 2013, which by the way i have to give credit where it's due as i like the new 16 page format.
