  Batsh*t crazy articles have been the appeal of the WT since its inception. Batshi* crazy attracts Batsh*t crazy and breeds batsh*t crazy.

  It's written to the GB but It's obviously written for people who believe vaccines were bad.If people believe they are bad then don't take them. I never heard of any elders asking to see an inoculation card for anyone.

  Book recommendation about Ancient Rome

  by KerryKing in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've been reading a series of books about ancient rome, written in novel form but based on real people, dates and facts, itvhas been very eye opening as it creates a very real backdrop for the gospels and especially the letters to the congregations.

  they're by steven saylor, roma, empire and dominus.. below is a quote from dominus: .

  "reason means nothing when the worshippers are completely reliant on the revelations of the prophet.".

  Great series thanks for the reference.

  Many years ago, I remember fondly, reading "Quo Vadis", "Ben Hur" and "The Etruscan" which were great fictional history books.

  not just jw's, but countless others (evangelicals etc.

  ) are claiming that we're in the "last days.".

  but........bible students/jw's have been spouting this fake message since the 19th century!!!!!!.

  The last days of the Jerusalem Temple worship came and went. It's a different age since then, I'd say. Check out the heavenly armies that Pliny and Josephus reported. Quite Apocalyptic.

  Has The "Evil Slave" Died Out?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  those of us who have deep roots into watchtower remember the shadowy whispers about "the evil slave" when we were kids.. for those that need to get up to speed: .

  the internal crisis came to its full with the occurrence of an outstanding bible-predicted event, namely, the coming of jehovah’s “messenger,” christ jesus, to jehovah’s temple for judgment in the spring of 1918, to separate the “faithful and discreet slave” class from the “evil slave” group.

  If you're wondering what some of those "separated" brothers are up to visit the http://ChristianBelieversConference.org and notice some of them separated from Russell in 1909, they separated over the New Covenant and Russell's weird belief that it was still future. They were joined by those opposed to Rutherford after the take over. They go by the name Free Bible Students and don't study any Watchtower publications, neither Russell's or Rutherford's books, and least of all the current JW publications, just the Bible. I found them on Wikipedia under Free Bible Students.

  Why do exJWs sign disassociation letters?

  by psyco in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  by law, they ask you to sign to leave a society/organization when, by the same law, they do not ask you to sign to join it.. imagine being in court with a representative of the jws.. the judge asks you: "are you a jw?"..

  you could respond: "let them prove it!"..

  question: how would they prove it?

  When a publisher is baptized they need to publicly voice out agreement of recognition as one of JWs in association with the 0rganization. A person is usually there confirming the name on a sheet and counting how many take the dip.

  2. beliefs

  the governing body claims to be the ruling part of the 144k jews in revelation.

  wt leaders wiped out 4-5 generations of my family, and nearly took me out as well.

  i will see this injustice settled however long it takes.

  If you are a believer then we will all be doing the same, in this, that is, for all men are appointed to die, then comes judgment, as it says in Hebrews.

  The August Study Watchtower: what is the big deal?

  by ukpimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been following a number of posts discussing the august watchtower study magazine.

  i really don't believe this common idea being passed around that it's being timed for the annual meeting.

  here's why.. the august watchtower will be available on servers not long before its public release.

  Those paragraphs are written using poor English grammar.

  The WT would have all sorts of editors catching grammatical mistakes as blatant as those in the three paragraphs supposedly from the August issue.

  I call b.s. on the content of the paragraphs since the wording can't be trusted. Unless LaFrancia translated from a foreign language version. Is that the case?

  Something is rotten and smells funky with those three paragraphs. Who cut the frommage? Maybe it was Lösch.

  Not only the ORG who perverts Scriptures!

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  john 14:6 - "jesus said to him, “i am the way, the truth, and the life.

  no one comes to the father except through me.".

  certain christian denominations lie & contradict jesus' crystal clear statement, by promoting the following dogma:.

  Should Women Be Given Authority In God's Congregation?

  by Golden4Altar in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  should women be given authority in god's congregation?yorww congregation manuscript #1009in the beginning, god created man and woman, created both them in his "image," and according to his likeness.

  this means, of course, jehovah god originally endowed both man and woman with the same capabilities and qualities of his own likeness.

  thus, man and woman have the same god-given abilities, gifts and attributes so as to reflect all the "fruits of the spirit" and godly qualities in their lives, if they so desire.
