jw.org faq trickery #1 - are only jehovah's witnesses going to be saved?.

from the description:.

if you have been associated for any length of time with the jehovah's witnesses you know that they believe they are the only true religion and the only ones that will be saved before the war of armageddon.

Question on New Sh sorry Lite
by Phizzy in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
if i understand this garbage correctly, they are saying that from 1914 to 1918 jesus was refining the anointed ?.

then in 1919 he chose them to be his providers of "food at the proper time" ?.

so why, if he is perfect, did he have to "examine" them, was not his refining work up to standard ?

who of you feels like they have zeal for ttatt and wish to spread it far and wide?

who feels that it is like a "fire burning in your bones" that you can't keep shut?

(don't worry, i love the power of the internet for anonymity)... ;).

David Splane does not bow head when giving a prayer!
by VM44 in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
this is a report in spanish conerning david splane giving a prayer at a convention.. perhaps someone can translate it better, but google translate gave the following:.

during prayer, should no longer be necessary to bow his head in a mass meeting, as was splane throughout the prayer, head up, down, left and right looking at all tiers, not hiding in the least.. so splane is looking all around at the sudience while giving a prayer?!!!.

can someone confirm that is what the spanish text says?.

I found something in Watchtower literature I can agree with.
by Indian Larry in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i ran across this excerpt from studies in the scriptures vol iv.

in it russell rails on as to why you should not tie youreself to any organization.

in a way he unknowingly predicts how the watchtower would turn against real "truth seekers" in their own organization, (quite possible the only prediction he ever got correct) and then goes on to show how the deluded witness just can't see how they can have a relationship with christ without a earthly organization.. .

Ok EVERYONE- want to know who is going to be reading this website and others?
by Newly Enlightened in

2. beliefs
while everyone has been bickering back and forth, i decided to do something positive to move forward.

as most of you know back in jan our family marked us as apostates and started shunning us.. so i wrote to all of my congress-people and told them what is going on with the jw's.

i told them how they are breaking up families, teaching the children intolerance, etc.

A Couple of thoughts on July WT
by Phizzy in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i actually got a bucket close by and read some of the study ed.

july 13 w.t my first reaction was amazement at how very muddled the whole thing was, i think if i had all those months to write articles since the noo lite was presented at the agm i could make a much better job of arguing the new ideas, and our very own sd7 could do even better !.

for instance, it is claimed in the chart, and the 2nd article i think, that the harvest began in 1914, by whom ?.
