322My son was murdered today
by truman ini have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.
i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.
maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

At a recent District Convention, during one of those scripted Question/Answers items, they said that Isaac Newton was one of the anointed.
Perhaps they're just picking historical figures at random.

Give Some Logical Points To Prove That JWs Do Not Have The Truth
by minimus inthe one thing that got to me was that this religion is illogical.
their "logic" is ridiculous, especially when it comes to their blood doctrine.
downright weird!.

All the rules and regulations have more in common with the Pharisees than with Jesus. "The truth will set you free." ... JWs are anything but free.
Personally after 40 years being taught JW teachings, I still had doubts whether it was the truth or not. If that's case, then how is someone who's just got out of bed and is still in their dressing gown supposed to be convinced when we stand on their doorstep offering lame magazines for 20 seconds?
Subsequently, because the householders aren't convinced it's the truth, Jehovah decides they deserve everlasting destruction. That would be grossly unfair and is completely incompatible with the idea of a God whose dominant quality is love.

New generation
by truthseeker1969 inone of my friends (non baptized) overheard his father, an elder and cobe talking with two other elders re; "generation" and he openly stated that "the society has stirred a great deal of discontent with this' and that is has "people talking".. apparently on the last co visit the co said the society at one point was inundated with questions regarding it and especially the word 'evidently' and what scriptural "evidence" there was and that the elders were told to "speak kindly" when discussing it and ask them to rely on jehovah to reveal the matter and evidence.. he spoke with this father re the "reaching out" articles and it has been noted by the society that many young men are refusing to take the 'lead' as they are not seeing "joy' in "reaching out" and that the society needs more elders drastically.. i am wondering how long it will be before the society attempts to mark brothers for refusing to accept responsibility or making it an "offence' to not reach out in order to force people to do things in the congregation and when if ever they will change the generation thing.

Unappointed men are definately treated as second class.
Based on the genuine biblical requirements for appointment as ms/elders, plenty of men would qualify (and plenty of those that are appointed would be disqualified).
Based on the WTS requirements, few men qualify.
If the WTS used the scriptural requirements, I would have been appointed long ago ... maybe it's a good thing they don't!

Yes ive read Alastair Reynolds Rev Space , can you tell he's an astro phisician (cant spell!) .I started Chasm City but got sidetracked. I really should read it as its a signed copy when he came down under last year.
Yes, with Alastair Reynolds being a former rocket scientist, it seems add a bit more authenticity to his work.
I would definately recommend you give Chasm City another go .. it's another of my favourites.
