And to introduce the item in the meeting about how important Jesus is, they will use a song from the new song book that has the name Jesus in the title. Unfortunately there isn't one!

You will make a great J.W.

I remember listening to a talk some years ago about the angels keeping Jehovah's congregation clean and clearing out wrongdoers.
What a pile of absolute drivel.

The wonder of scientific research
by amicabl inthis has possibly been brought up before however here goes.. constant reference is made by many posters to scientific research as being the only way to prove something factual that would otherwise have to be taken on faith.
there actually seems to be "faith" in scientific findings.. my experience over many years is that most scientific research is fake.
nothing oftencomes of the big announcements made to raise more money.. money, prestige, pride, human error, suppositions etc., are rife amongst the scientific community.. i realise that there have been many advances over hundreds of years but humankind is in a mess, although very different to even a century ago.. the medical profession now has vaccinations for everything, antiviral drugs etc.

Having looked at my last post on this thread I think one of man's greatest inventions is the spelling/grammar checker, and I really need to use one :-)

I think that at its simplest science is just about trying to find out how things work, asking questions and seeing if the facts support what you believe or not. That seems a worthwhile endeavour. For example finding out a little bit how the brain works, so that someone with schizophrenia can be treated rather than being burned at the stake because people think the are possessed by demons seen like a bit of progress. There was a time when everybody walked by faith trusting everything religious leaders taught them without question, these times were called the dark ages. -

I could not stand the hypocrisy, such as elders who never speak to you at a meeting suddenly wanting to give you a shepherding call because they care for you so much. Strangely this caring often developed a week before the C.O. was visiting and disappeared the day after he left.

Anytime I think about J.W. meetings I remember the quote from Madagascar 2.
"Sorry do you mind going back, this is 1st class, it's nothing personal it's just that we are better than you"

What exactly is the JANUARY 2018 WT trying to tell J.W.'s?
by The Fall Guy inthe needle has been stuck on the record for over 130 years - thanks to mr. russell and his successive cohorts:.
page 11, paragraph 19 - “as this system nears its end,....”.
page 13, paragraph 5 - “do my actions show that i truly believe that these are the last days and that the end of satan’s rule is near?”.

"A WORLD does not end every day! Not since the great flood of Noah’s time has a “world” or system of things for governing the affairs of all mankind passed out of existence. But now, by occurrence of every detail of the great sign Jesus gave, we know that we face the imminent end of the present world system"
- Watchtower 1st December 1952 (p709)
Just as others have said it is easier to get scared sheep to do what they are told.

So it used to be thousands of people (All anointed on earth) then it became 7 (The GB) Somebody miscounted big time. So I would take any other numbers they come up with, with a large pinch of salt.

"The shootings in Las Vegas show how much we need God's Kingdom"
by Sour Grapes inmy jw wife, like all of us, was saddened by the senseless killings in nevada.
she said, "the shootings just shows how much we need god's kingdom.
" i replied, "yes if it was armageddon, jehovah wouldn't have left any survivors.

Imagine two non J.W. twins are crossing the street, they are the same in every way. One gets killed when struck by a car, he will be resurrected into a paradise. Five seconds later armageddon starts and God destroys the other twin, he is gone forever. Something is not right with that belief. Getting everlasting life would depend on who stepped into the road first! (Or second)
