Even selling their belongings and moving somewhere would be too much for most of them, and the older members would vividly remember pre-1975 if that was to happen.

I wish they would say something this stupid . . .

Esp if they suggested giving the money to the society.

The one thing that would have them leaving en masse would be to suggest this. I'd be all over in a month.

Two "Current" Truths that contradict each other

by Honesty in

does anyone wish to compare and tell us how the watchtower society can maintain two conflicting doctrines at the same time?.

I KNEW someone was going to say that!

I was going to clarify that many believe that the 144000 are indeed literal Jews so therefore it is a literal number.

So are you saying that only 144000 go to heaven - just not 144000 JWs?

I just posted my opinions on this in another thread!

I think that they COUNT on their members not REALISING that they hold contradictory interpretations.

I think that within the next 10 years WT will have "New Light" that the 144000 is actually a "symbolic" number
Problem solved . . .
Eventually they'll gravitate towards mainstream Christian doctrine.
JW teaching in 30 years time:
Christ will return and restore earth to paradise.
Human life will always continue and originate from earth.
Eternal life was not meant to be earthly
Little flock was Jewish believers
Other sheep are gentile believers
At death the hope is heavenly.
144000 (long forgotten) is not literal.

Mainstream Christian belief in thirty years:
See Above
Somehow they'll still teach they are God's Exclusive Channel

New Light - ?

by ocsrf in

jw
friends

january 15, 2008 watchtower, page 23 paragraph 16. it seems, however, that not all who have been called to a heavenly hope since the 1930's are replacements for ones who have fallen away.

jehovah has evidently made sure that we will have anointed christians amoung us all through the final days of this system of things until the destruction of "babylon the great.

Shuning the shunner

by loosie in

my daughter goes to a school where one of the office personel is a jw.

my hubby is df'd i haven't been to a meeting in 3 years.

when we go into the office and have to talk to her she directs all of her responses to me even if my husband is the one that asked the question.. once my husband went in there with my daughter and this person didn't direct her answers to my husband who asked the question, but to my daughter who was just tagging along.. this is stupid.

Report the incident directly to the Headteacher.

Complain on the grounds of "religious discrimination"

Say that she refuses to talk to you on "religious grounds"
When questioned she'll have to admit or lie.

I'd put your complaint in writing.

If you don't get any joy write to the Governors.

Church Wants Couples to do "it" Every Night!!!

by momzcrazy in

now this is my kinda church!.

Pubsinger

And there i was wondering what to preach at church last Sunday . . .

Church goers usually have more kids anyway, the religiously minded generally have bigger families

If you didn't have a cool Morrisey avatar I'd have said this was twaddle
