  "Download this Bible character card and learn about Joseph. Cut out, fold in half, and save."
  
  How does a piece of paper cut then folded in half become a card??? Kids will find this so lame.
  Poor kids. I didn't have animation DVDs and bible cards and I turned up pretty messed up from the whole thing. I pity these little ones.

  The only doctrinal change I could see happening is having non-annointed sitting on the GB.
  They must start grooming a next generation to replace the old men. They cannot have people born after the 70s proclaim to be annointed.
  
  But then it might end up being something very meaningless instead.

  another jw "star".

  she may truly have mental illness problems but being part of this damaging cult surely cannot help her.. .

  "She also talked about the voices in her head, but the magazine noted that she was “defiant about getting psychiatric help.” Explaining her reasoning, Lark said, “They can’t explain it. They can’t treat it. They don’t know about it.”"
  
  Please, get her to the hospital!

  Birth Control

  by turtleturtle in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have never understood why, according to the wt, jws are okay (conscience matter) with birth control methods like the pill, mini-pill, depo-provera, and iuds.

  i am not trying to spark an abortion debate.

  but i was actually angry at the wt when i started researching how the mini-pill prevented pregnancy.

  When in was still indoctrinated, when things were a Conscience matter, to me it often meant you still had to do obey.
  You would not get disfellowedshipped for it, but you should still had to do the right thing . Otherwise you were spiritually weak.

  I find this type of mind controle fairly violent.

  It also works as a divide & conquer strategy.

  2. bible

  might need a vomit bag as your read through this one..... http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/.

  one gem on page six where we have "helping the needy" as the headline - i wonder which "organization" they might be referring to?.

  could you set aside, or budget, some money.

  Withing the same issue is a disturbing article aied at kids (again!) titled:

  Jotham Remained Faithful Despite Troubles at Home http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/wp20121201/jotham-faithful-despite-troubles/

  This commandment means to be faithful to Jehovah even when that is hard to do. Who do you think wants us to quit serving Jehovah?— God’s enemy Satan the Devil does. Jesus called him “the ruler of this world.”

  This is how you raise a messed up kid!

  Watchtower Library NOT identical to printed publications

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i realise the title of this thread will come as no surprise to many of you.

  i've certainly heard before of subtle variations between extracts from the watchtower library and the actual printed literature.. what i didn't expect was to find this openly admitted to in the license agreement for the watchtower library, where it says in article 4:.

  4. limited warranty.

  @PrincessPeachz:

  I also read these bound volumes in my folks library as a 7-10 y.o. I had access to older (40-50s) in print form from a dark blue embossed binders. I thought I was a weird kid. Glad to know I was not alone. lol.

  attention lurkers... monday, october 1, 2012 is the 98th anniversary of jesus' rulership!i'll just let the watchtower magazine speak for itself...october 1, 1914, on taking his place at the breakfast table in the brooklyn bethel dining-room, he in a strong voice denoting conviction announced: the gentile times have ended!

  -watchtower july 15 1950 page 216 pargraph 1 those seven appointed times of the nations ended in the early autumn of 1914, about october 1. before then the good news of the established kingdom could not be preached.

  -watchtower october 15 1955 page 623 paragraph 7october 1, 1914, is now more than forty-two years ago and the kingdoms fight at armageddon is fast nearing.

  “The Gentile Times have ended!”
  Why has reding this expression just brought up a whole kingdom song I had completely forgotten about?
