Yes, I am referring to the messaging service within this site.
I am also curious if other people were being asked to do similar.
What puzzles me is that I can't find Bola in the list of users???
i keep getting this person who wants me to email them with information already freely available on this website.. i have told him that i have no intention of emailing a total stranger from my personal email address, but they keep sending me this demand.. from bola to lostinthefog1999.
can you tell me how to block this persistent messager?.

i can remember the original turquoise coloured evolution book produced by the organisation and the numerous public talks around it.
mind-blowing to a gullible youngster growing up in a jw family.. the flood of noah's day when thousands of tons of suspended water fell from the atmosphere and on hitting the cold poles instantly plunged the woolly mammoths into a deep freeze, to the extent that the last mouthful of grass was still there in the mouth in mid-chomp.
you can quickly see why a kid with a fertile imagination was transfixed by those apparently up-to-date scientific discoveries as presented by the wt org!.

What rot! Nowadays science tells us that it was the secret world of viruses that killed the mammoths.
It's a shame it took so long for me to find out it's always the unseen secret things that ultimately kill you. Like the secrets and lies told to trap people inside this insidious cult.

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.
Going back to the original post here. It is delusional of the witnesses hierarchy to honestly believe that the apostle John on the island of Patmos had visions and dreams of a small group of Americans (an undiscovered land when he was living) holding conventions in Cedar Point, Ohio!
And yet in the Revelation Climax book we had all the studies about the pouring out of the bowls of denunciation representing events in the 1920s onwards.
Yes it is in the Bible, but the interpretation and application directly to the JW religion is pure fantasy. There's saner people locked up in mental asylums up and down the country!
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?.

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?

the unique doctrines of jehovah’s witnesses are the ones that only jehovah’s witnesses teach.
Slimboyfat,
I would have thought that Hebrews 1v5 clearly ruled out the likelihood of Jesus ever having been an angel.
the answer is a definite no!.

All factual information.
I would add that Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Almighty God belongs to their religion alone. He might provide sunlight and rain to the rest of the world but He doesn't listen to their prayers, unless they are praying for understanding in which case he will send a witness to their house, otherwise He won't bother answering them.
It bugs me that they are so possessive of their version of God.
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.

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.
What people think of as Paganism is in its original practices older than any other religion.... And what's wrong with windchimes ? Nobody ever objected to ours, in fact one circuit overseer wanted to get a set for a relative and asked us where we had bought ours as it had such a lovely sound each time he passed it on our stairs.
