Upcoming KM!! Why we are not False Prophets!

by DATA-DOG in

this subject is coming up this month in the tms.

i just thought i would start a post for newbies or lurkers.

if you have any scans of the awake inside cover that would be awesome.

Out of interest, has anyone ever written or contacted the WT direct and asked them why they changed/falsified this in the bound volumes?

Just wondered what they'd say.

Jehovahs Witnesses have no clergy,dont charge for weddings,have no collection plates,are no part of the world,live in a spiritual paradise,what other fallacy is their.

by smiddy in

these are just some of the things i was told studying with the witnesses in 1959 .in 1960 we got married in one of the few kh`s that existed in melb.at the time .and we were required to pay/contribute to the bro.who conducted the service.. i was led to beleive in my studys that smoking was a no,no ,so i gave up ,learning later that wasnt the case ,the ministerial servant book study conductor in our group still did smoke.

( the ban on smoking didnt come in till later on ).

while they may not have passed the collection plate around , they did on a regular time frame appeal for donations from the platform for funds to offset the renting of a hall , my first congregation , or the upkeep /maintenance of a kh or for the"world wide work of witnessing" .

The 'contributing to the brother who gave the wedding talk' one is news to me. Never heard that one before!

What's The STRANGEST Thing You've Seen At A Kingdom Hall?

i saw a fight break out on the platform between an elder and a unbelieving husband who accused the elder of f---ing his wife.

he then threw the lectern on the floor and pushed the elder.

it was cool.......

The funniest thing I can remember was interviewing my best mate (who I have just got back after he finally saw the light 13 years after I told him ) on the service meeting and asking him why he had decided to regular pioneer. He said he had decided to because he wanted to serve Jehovah while he was full of youthful virility, quickly correcting this to youthful vitality! But it was too late - I was crying laughing so much that I couldn't breathe.

New Rumor - Watchtower and Awake in one magazine only?

by TJ Curioso in

hi folks!.

someone told me that there is a rumor that soon the watchtower and awake's magazines will be only one (fusion).. anybody knows something concrete about that, or is only rumor instead?.

tj curioso.

Pubsinger

They'd still claim they printed the same amount of 'separate' magazines even if they merged them into one.

It's only like them claiming for years that they had 5 meetings a week when it was actually only 3.

They still go to 5 meetings a week when it's now only 2.

The self-made PARADOX of "witnessing" without Television or Radio

what if i asserted the following as true?

the watchtower bible and tract society has no interest in an effective evangelical program of conversion.. .

would that sound silly?

Pubsinger

Spot on JWfacts.

And totally agree Terry

Yep me.

Saw the flaw in the reasoning behind the '95 generation change. Was another 4 years before I got directed to Crisis of Conscience and then everything here and at Freeminds. It was the Generation change that opened my eyes though and the rest was confirmation.
