  I don't get it.

  i am a historian and the period of english history from henry vii to elizabeth i is my specialist area.. i was talking to an ex-jw about the time when tyndale first translated the bible into english with his intention that everyone from the ploughboy upwards would be able to read and understand the scriptures.

  it dawned on us both that this was a significant point in english history.. just having access to the bible in hi their own language allowed the common man to understand what god wanted him to understand.. it was and is, so simple.. why then oh why then do jehovah's witnesses think that they need a fds to explain it to them?

  when in the 1600s just having a bible written in english was enough for people to understand the word of god?.

  Elders told to befriend young ones.

  by LostintheFog1999 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  someone on this forum kindly posted a link to the program of the current elders' training schools taking place.. i was just looking at it and thought that the part i have highlighted looks innocent enough unless the elder has an overfondness for young ones.. if he is spending too much time with the younger ones he can say, with hand on his heart, i am simply following through on the latest direction from the organisation about befriending, training, and mentoring the young.

  Is The Religion Of Jehovah's Witnesses Biblical?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the answer is a definite no!.

  because every doctrine that is unique to jehovah's witnesses is not in the bible.

  the unique doctrines of jehovah’s witnesses are the ones that only jehovah’s witnesses teach.

  JW's & "pagan origins" teachings.

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the cult demands that the "sheeple" avoid anything which has "pagan origins," so for consistency, the wtbts should come clean and abandon the use of the pagan gregorian calendar, and adopt the biblical hebrew calendar.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/gregorian_calendar#months.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hebrew_calendar.

  2. child-abuse

  i have a friend in another state that doesn't know i disassociated.

  i have come right out and said on more than one occasion when talking about what the bible says verses the wt, that we are being duped.

  the person tends to agree but then buries their head in the sand and forgets.

  What's Wrong with the Watchtower?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not sure who wrote this list a while back but i think it is worth a repeat....to be added to or subtracted from or modified...whatever.. what's wrong with the watchtower.

  "overlapping generations" - this teaching makes no sense.

  the word used by jesus is in the singular, not plural form.. .

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this was one of the craziest things i remember about the summer conventions.

  i would go into the sister's bathrooms and the mirrors would all be taped up with brown paper so that we couldn't look at our reflections.

  were were amish or something?
