There isnt a single verse in the bible that condemns slavery. In fact, there are many saying it's ok to own a slave. With that in mind, if it were legal in this country to own slaves, could i own one and still become a JW?

JW Stumper Questions - List You Best Here
by pale.emperor inhi guys.
sooner or later we're going to get a jw knocking on our door.
just like when we were jw's doing the knocking, it's good to have a question prepared to get them thinking about their own beliefs.

I know my congregation schedules one day a month to watch the Broadcast together. So the old biddy's and technophobes can get their fix of Steven Lett's rubber face.

by pale.emperor inhttp://library.jw-wayback.org/jw-wb/photos-pictures/people/guy%20pierce%20(1934-2014).pdf.
interesting to read his backstory.
a little sad that they refer to his first marriage as "guy married a woman with 2 children".

Lets be honest guys, most of us here read it on PDF downloaded for free somewhere. If we hadn't we'd have been worse off trying to recover.
That's your best bet Ponyo.

Does Morality Exist?
by Fisherman insome people believe that stealing, lying and killing, is not moral.
some people don't.. does morality exist?
if so, prove it..

I think religion tries to have the monopoly on morality. I have my own morality and i see some very immoral things that YHWH did in the bible. If he were a human being on earth he'd be worse that Pol Pot, Stalin and Hitler.
However, there are things that many religions called immoral that i personally have no problem with.
Perhaps there's an evolutionary answer for this, protecting myself and my genes and my offspring obviously ensures the survival of my genes. The means of doing so may be considered immoral by some people.
Killing someone who's trying to kill me? I say moral. Bible says immoral.
Stoning someone to death for picking up sticks on Saturday? I say immoral. Bible says moral.
We certainly shouldn't be getting our morals from the Bible, Quran or L Ron Hubbard.

Need help understanding the Overlapping Generation teaching
by Jules Saturn inso this is a topic that seriously boggles my mind and please correct me if i'm wrong.
to me, the jw definition of the overlapping generation teaching is that the lives of the anointed from 1914 overlap with the lives of the anointed right now.
david splane used the example of fred franz and how he finished his "earthly course" in 1992 but while he did, he had a lot of "contemporaries" that outlived him and are currently living today.

I was still a JW when this came out, surprisingly, no one in the KH seemed to even notice that this is a major doctrinal change and they just went "meh..." and went along with it.
As i understand it, as a kid i was taught that the big A would definitely come before 2000 because it'll come before the anointed die, and they were all chose in 1914, and they wern't baptized as kids, they were grown up. And there's only a few left.
Then the unthinkable happened.... they all died.
Then the new teaching is that Jehovah was still anointing people during the lifetime of the 1914 group, so those who were anointed during the lifetime of the last of the 1914 group to die will still count towards the generation Jesus was talking about.
Now all they have to do is take out their bibles and show us where that's what Jesus evidently meant, and that his apostles understood that.

First posting on here..Hello all
by London Underground injust wanted to say a big hello to everyone, my first post on here was actually yesterday but it was deleted.. so will keep this one short to save my precious time just in case its also deleted or lost.. got fed up with years of persecution from within the congregations.
the lack of genuine friendship & lack of 'christian love'.
having personally seen many a scandalous behaviour i began doing some research online some years ago.
