  How are Governing Body members chosen?

  by crownboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since it wouldn't make sense for the society to choose "orginal" (i.e.

  pre-1935) annointed ones for the gb because they're so old now, how do they choose the new ones?

  couldn't a "newer" annointed simply declare himself to be one just so he could get on the body?

  Here's a crazy thought

  by JBean in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in reading recent threads from scumgrief and yoyo... they are happy and active and are defending the organization.

  i just had a thought of what jesus said that in coming to him and the truth, one might lose brothers or sisters or mothers, etc., but in doing so, they would gain him and an abundance of other "family".

  (paraphrased of course!

  active and happy jw

  2. friends

  i am an active jw and was raised as one.

  i have been watching the site for a while and thought it could benefit from the opinions of someone who is happily a member of the jw's.

  i will not get into any argumets that lead to nothing except name calling, and will not talk with anyone who is just plain mean (plenty of them in here).

  WTBTS Pictures of Paradise

  by Skimmer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as has been discussed elsewhere in this forum, the wtbts has published many images depicting life after armageddon and the elements and presentation are fairly similar from picture to picture.

  the text referencing a paradise picture almost always at one point refers to the restoration of the conditions of the garden of eden prior to the fall.. but what about the things which are never included in the drawings?.

  1. never any couples from different ethnic backgrounds.. 2. never any persons whose clothes obviously do not match their ethnicity.. 3. never any printed material like books, magazines, or newspapers.

  Cygnus, one or a couple of exeptions won't change the average rule in this case.

  except in the case where antis criticize the WTS

  People more vulnerable to cults now more

  shock, disempowerment, vulnerability.

  all of these are reasonable reactions to last week1s horrible attack upon americans and their government and financial institutions, the cultural framework that makes us all feel strong.

  "unfortunately, at a time when many americans are feeling down, there is another threat coming from within our borders," says steven hassan, director of the freedom of mind resource center in somerville ma.

  JWs Message: ``How Great Are We?"

  by Room 215 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with their chronology in tatters, jehovah's witnesses have taken to preaching about their favorite subject: themselves.

  i was taken to task when i made this suggestion in a thread not too long ago, but the october km furnishes abundant evidence in its list of available videocasette.. (as an aside, it seems that the society no longer objects to using the television as a medium to spread its message, now that technology's given it a way to make the viewer pay for tapes, rather than having to spend money on paid programming).. notice the titles: .

  ``united by divine teaching''.

  If it's not the incessant ``how great are we?'' that's become the biggest turn-off, then it's the JWs refusal to see the good in anyone but themselves, that's their most repulsive trait

  you obviously havent read the letters of "saint" Paul.

  yes...the witnesses speak to much of their org...wait.wait..they are
  a secret society....umm....which is it this week
