  The Watchtower Corporation hides its lies and corruption behind the belief in the Bible

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when one takes a close analytical look at the workings of the watchtower corporation.

  over the years, right back from its very beginning, it becomes obvious that this religious .

  publishing house has exploited the bible toward its own concerning means.. commercialism in the face of religious virtue.. this organization has always created its own established doctrines to lure people toward the.

  What Made You Question "The Truth"?

  by minimus in

  1. jw

  in the the early 1970's, i used to enjoy going to assemblies, conventions and hear special talks given by bethel heavies.. in those days, we were believers and we applied ourselves as "ministers" with pride.. once the "end" was obviously not within our "generation", many of us started losing interest.. we started to think more critically.

  it took a long time but once you start recognizing the bullsh*t, it's hard to stay in and truly believe at the same time.. .

  unanswerable questions

  hey all...... i have decided to compile a list of questions that jws simply cannot answer without opening up a vulnerability.....such as.

  1) if jesus is only mediator for the 144,000 then who is the mediator for the rest of us?

  2) plasma is one of the four main components of blood and cannot be taken.

  JW hate group

  by Wayward Son in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  according to wikipedias definition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hate_group), a hate group is an organized group or movement whose primary purpose is to promote animosity, hatred, hostility or violence toward members of a race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc.... the southern poverty law center explains that inclusion of a group in the list does not imply a group advocates or engages in violence or other criminal activity.. under the category of religious hate groups, westboro baptist church was cited for promoting hatred toward homosexuals.

  creativity movement and aryan nation were mentioned as promoting racial hatred.. is it a stretch to categorize the watchtowers rhetoric toward apostates as that of a hate group?

  keeping in mind that promoting or engaging in violence is not required to be identified as a hate group, does the constant degradation of other religious philosophies, organizations and adherents constitute hate speech?

  Could UFO Disclosure Bring About A Golden Age?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are a great many people - and internet sites- that preach a sort of 2012/ufo gospel.

  while they may contradict one another, they mostly teach that ufo's will intervene and save us, especially if governments admit that they exist.. yeah, ok..... been there, heard that..... but could there be a core of truth to this idea?.

  what would happen if the world acknowledged that et's exist?.

  Watchtower doctrines failed or discredited in the past 20 years -

  by james_woods in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the several threads on the literal 144,000 got me to thinking about this: it is getting pretty obvious that the literal 144,000 is at least getting very questionable and likely will not be able to stand long without a serious remodeling.

  what else has fallen by the wayside?

  i thought of these -.
