  Welcome newbs! I also wanted to mention that the amount of subscribers on www.reddit.com/r/exjw has immensely grown too. That subreddit has over 3,200 members, its mostly comprised of young people though.

  it's difficult to imagine how this video could be more disingenuous and hypocritical.

  New Awake magazine goes after the media

  here is a link to the pdf.... http://www.jw.org/download/?issue=201312&output=html&pub=g&fileformat=pdf&alllangs=0&langwritten=e&txtcmslang=e&isbible=0.

  some interesting quotes.... while it is wise not to believe everything we read in the news, it does not follow that there is nothing we can trust.

  the key may be to have a healthy skepticism, while keeping an open mind.tone: when the tone of a news item is angry, spiteful, or highly critical, it suggests that an attack is under way and not a reasoned argument.sources: is there evidence of thorough research?

  How many Bible Students were preaching in 1919?

  by Emery in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  doing some additonal research on the 1919 appointment.

  they claim to be the only ones preaching at that time and i find it hard to believe that a few thousand russelites out weighed the global preaching work of christendom.

  especially considering that what they were preaching from door to door at that time was false prophecy and now 95% abandoned.

  mindnumbed, very true. But couldn't any church, organization, or religion make a similar claim? Why not Islam? They've teach that the Trinity is a lie and refuse to celebrate "pagan" holidays since the 6th century.

  Faders shunned now?

  hi all so my family had their c.a.

  last weekend and my mother dropped this one on me, she'll now be treating me as a df'd person per info she received from a talk at the assembly.

  apparently a fader should be treated as "bad association" given the fact they up and left the holy "truth" to splash around in vomit.. .

  They're copying Apple's style of marketing to the T. The music and videography is almost identical. This is a well done video, but the vision they're trying to sell doesn't match up with reality.
