wherever you stand on the god question, or, think you do, i believe god is the most influential figure in the history of human civilization.
not just any god, but the god that created adam and eve; the god of abraham, the god of the jews; the god of the christians; and the god of islam.
what sort of character does he have?
I believe the most influential person to be Jesus Christ whether you believe in him or not.

my wife has been keeping me up to date on what goes on in the forum.
i finally decided to join myself.
i am not as knowledgeable in the scriptures as my wife.
Welcome ROC. My stepfather was on a Submarine (Haddo) in WW11, and we lived with him for quite awhile, so I can appreciate any personality flaws you might have. Ha. But we're glad you're here.

i just popped on to the wts website (well, i am very bored, waiting for a workman to turn up here), and came across this piece of drivel from the "jehovahs witnesses - who are they?
" brochure.
i doctored it a little, to give the true picture.
Yep, we don't pass the plate, but contact us to leave us the farm. And thanks for all the gas and time you use to peddle our literature for nothing!

Also, the church we attend in Florida, that is supposely a part of 'BabylonThe Great' also dosen't pass any plates, nor ask for the farm!

looking back and knowing it is not gods organization raises.
a few questions about the conventions and assemblies.. what was the real motivation behind the conventions?did the watchtower hold conventions to show the world god has a united people?.
I think you hit it on the head with all three. For Show, For Money, and For New Recruits. A, Rah, Rah, Rah, event!

when i was a kid,kingdom halls still had windows.thats a while ago..as a kid i was told in the last days,jehovah`s witness`s would be rounded up and be put into concentration camps..i was told,when the government came to take me away and seperate me from my parents,i should wear my warmest coat and boots.as i would have to fend for myself in the concentration camp..i was told never to give up my faith.even if they tied my parents to a stake and was foced to light the fire that would burn them alive.....jehovah`s witness`s are the "happiest people on earth!
".....do you have any happy memorys like mine?...outlaw
My mother contended that the Kingdom Halls had no windows, because it would be easier for the leaders to 'gas' you!

hi, just wanted to know your thoughts on what you think the future holds for the wts.
what for an example what do you think they will be writing on the cover of the w & a magazines 50 or 100 hundred years form now ?.
will the age of information and techology finally catch up to them (eg.
Well, I don't know about all your questions. But 50 years from now OUR KINGDOM MINISTRY will probably be exactly the same, with different publications featured!
I think the 'fade' has already started.

the basic scoop: my best jw friend from michigan came into org with his wife when he was about 26 (he's about 45 now.
) he loved the org, but, aside from being a really cool and interesting guy, he also suffered from depression quite a lot.
more than 10 years ago he approached me about anti-jw stuff he found online.
Invite him over for a poolside BBQ and just still be his friend! If he brings up the JW's just calmly say what you really feel. If he dosen't want to be your friend anymore that is his loss. But maybe you also planted a seed that will grow until he is ready to listen further.

i remember one at a district assembly.
a brother was being interviewed as to why he never chose over time work at his job.
he said he worked for a small printing company and that he was content with working regular hours.
In the churches these experiences are called 'Preacher's stories'. No one believed them, but it was good entertainment. In the JW Assemblies these were stories on 'How we wish it was' but know it isn't.
It's the same as 'Questions From Readers' in THE WATCHTOWER magazine. No one except biggie's in Bethel wrote them questions and all to manipulate the flock in what ever information they felt they needed.
