is it just me or is the wts increasingly just becoming more about watchtower propaganda.
every week it seems to be about killing your children over blood transfusions or worshipping the magical men in brooklyn or the loving provision of shunning or the magical power of the elders or some brother in far off land who is in jail because he cant stop handling out magazines he doesnt understand to people who dont want them.
try and get a jw to explain the gospels or the book of the romans and what was significant about the book of acts...........................no clue.
Wow this is all so scary. :( I hope my extended family is starting to wake up. But I imagine my parents are crazy about the jw.tv thing. But my mother loves deep bible and publication study, but then again, never read context much.
I think this spells I'll for the org tho. Without bible knowledge, everything is based on shallow traditions, a foundation that will crumble.
do you believe the marketing of jay w org will convert more people or help inactive ones remain indoctrinated?

It's because they're absolutely desperate about their image and appearing modern and with it.
I still haven't gotten an answer to this....aren't they concerned directing people to a website will expose them to other sites they don't want them to see?? Yes they themselves can bookmark the official, but people on the street are going to see that other stuff too if they Google it.
i never thought i would be commenting, let alone starting a new topic in the category of bible research and study.
anyone reading my comments on this site would have realised that i am the most unspiritual person to have ever stepped foot inside a kh.
yet for the first time in my life, on saturday night, i did some meaningful bible study/research, on my own without a wtbts publication in sight, except the nwt bible.

on jw tv.
anthony morris is ranting against higher education.
he is blaming parents for enrolling their kids in college.
I am very interested in this....I can't stomach watching the video, but I want to know how often or strongly they get everyone to watch these videos. My witness niece acted like I was stupid a couple years ago when I mentioned they discourage college. She said 'no they don't!'
Does every witness watch these videos??
and joined your ranks.... this means...youre talking about a people, that currently are pushing no sex till marriage.
that would end and join into the messages you currently push regarding youths and sex.
that would be sex, with condoms.
My husband came to a large dinner at my new church about 6 months after we left, and said he couldn't believe there could be so many decent people under one roof.
i think many witnesses secretly believe many more people than just witnesses would be saved at Armageddon, they know them from work, and school, KNOW they are good people. I've heard some elders privately say this...very privately, and only if they completely trust you.
If jws disappeared, there would be no affect on the world, not really. People who like a lot of rules would join Church of God or something. But guess what...a whole lot of families would be back together.
so i decided to sign up after many years of lurking.
started researching after finding out about ray franz, which inevitably brought me to this site.. i'm still well and truly inn, but don't want to give any information out, i'm sure you guys know the reasons.. since "jay double you .
org" came online, there has been a definite sense of hysteria with everyone who is "inn", and i get a feeling it's going to get a whole lot crazier as the years press on.. one point i would like to raise is that i feel, without a doubt, that 2034 is going to be the new finish line.
Oh, and c of hate, I'm new here too...posted much more here the last two days I'm sure than I usually will, I'm sick in bed...
.but NEVER worry about 'fitting in' here, or anywhere else.

Lol billy!!
And I think campaign of hate is being ironic about his name, its what the gb calls sites like this.
in more than 40 years of doorknocking not a single person was ever able to sit down with me and kindly and patiently explain exactly "what's wrong with watchtower" in simple terms and baby-steps that i could grasp at the time.. of course i have to admit it is not as easy as one might hope.. this morning one possible (not simple enough) summary came to mind:.
the bible promotes belief in jesus and the liberating and transforming gospel message about him (in both the nt and ot).. the watchtower instead promotes belief in a visible golden calf and pseudo-mediator between god and man in the form of:.
blind authoritarian clerics who have co-opted the word "elder" and turned it into a title (aka apostate "clericalism").
