  TIME FOR A MIND EXPERIMENT

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  try this "mind experiment".. there is a very large sports stadium the size of texas.

  inside this stadium there are four enormous crowds of people.

  they are all believers in jehovah god and think of their religion as the truth exclusively.. group number one are all the people who read and believed the teachings of charles taze russell.. group number two are all the people who came along after judge rutherford became president of the society.. group number three are the jw's under nathan knorr up to the year 1975.. group number four are all the jehovah's witnesses post 1975 up to today.. .

  December 15 Watchtower --- A New Low in WT Anti-Intellectualism

  by Room 215 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i wonder whether any of you took note of the article in the 12/15 study edition wt "the simplified watchtower .. why introduced" i couldn't believe they actually had the temerity to put such tripe into print and onto the record.. i was flat-out astonished with its put-down of vocabulary building and self-improvement:.

  one egregious example: " the time spent looking up words and explaining expressions (ostensibly from the "smart people's" watchtower) is now spent gaining an understanding of the scriptures and how they fit into the lesson.".

  one jw cited in the article actually blames her college education for causing her to fall into the bad habit of "speaking and thinking a way that was more complicated than necessary.

  Where is this LOVE that is being "preached about"??

  by lostinnj83 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the only display of love that i have experienced is from non-jw's!!!!!

  the people we have been warned so much to stay away from them are the only ones that have been supportive and loving towards me in my darkest moments.. .

  what really gets me is how they can bring themselves to show "love" to someone who has committed heinous crimes like molesting children but will be downright hateful to people who have become better and happier people since they have left the organization!!!.

  Is the grass greener on the other side?

  by What Now? in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hi all.... so my mom phoned me up this morning and said she needed to talk to me about something.

  she asked me whether or not our (worldly) family thought that my husband and i were witnesses anymore.

  one, someone in my family said to her, "i didn't know you guys wear short dresses like that" - commenting on a slightly above the knee dress i had worn to a family event.

  Are Elders waking up to TTATT?

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the obvious answer to that is: yes!

  jwn has a number of former elders who awakened to ttatt while they held their position, and a handful of current elders who help provide needed intel.. .

  later, i learned he and his wife had faded, and both of his grown sons know ttatt as well.. .

  Just wanted to say hello

  by Suraj Khan in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've only very recently discovered this site and have been reading many compelling personal accounts and testimonials.

  i'd like to share my own as well.. i was born into 'the truth' in the early 1970s.

  along with my several (fleshly) brothers and sisters, i went through the usual travails of a witness boy - not celebrating birthdays, not pledging allegiance to the flag, not singing christmas carols in the class chorus.

  JW Preaching Work Ends in 20th Century ?

  by Scorpion in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  page 12 of the january 1,1989 wt original magazine paragraph 8 ends with the statement that the apostle paul's missionary activity laid a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century.".

  (a subtle prophecy that 'the end' will come by the year 2000 a.d.).

  this sentence is changed in the bound volume reprint to read "a work that would be completed in our day.
