  Funny, I found 2 of those posted on the community bulletin board at my local Panera Bread, I wrote "visit JWFACTS.COM" and "CULT" over the top of them.

  hi,.

  heard a witness man from south carolina, killed his family & himself...has anyone heard ?

  don't think he killed himself because he was a witness, most likely crazy before he became a witness... legacy.

  The Biggest Fear From The Watchtower Organization Is ???

  i think the organization is worried most about how jws will stay loyal to their families even as it rejects the admonition of the gb and elders..

  The internet, apostates, and money. All three of those have been the most dominant subjects in the last 3 or 4 years. JWdot org is a telling fact that the internet has done lots of damage to them.

  WT Mantras / Thought Stoppers

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been thinking about how the gb controls jws through the use of short phrases or scripture quotes (often partial quotes ripped out of context).. think of the sound-bite responses you know jws are going to give you in response to points you try to make to them.. ones that come to my mind immediately are:.

  -- "the light gets brighter and brighter.".

  -- "who, then, is the faithful and discreet slave?".

  When somebody dies: "At least WE have the hope of the resurrection" or "We will see them again in Paradise". The cheapest responses to anything so tragic.

  How do Jehovah's Witnesses get from 1914 to 1919?

  by God_Delusion in

  hi guys and gals,.

  i have written an article that explains how the watchtower society gets from 607 bce to 1914 (http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/faqs/why-is-1914-important/) but i need some input so that i can write an article on how they get from 1914 to (via 1918) 1919.. are we talking about ezra, 1:2-4 when the persian king cyrus allows the israelites to go and rebuild the temple 3 and a half years after exiling them?

  if so, how has the watchtower used this passage to get to 1919??.

  I remember watching exgileadmissionary's youtube video regarding how the WT library can't even provide the chronology of how they arrive at 1919.

  Here it is.

  Don't they also use Malachi chapter 3 to arrive at 1919?

  "Jehovah ALWAYS had/used an organization". How would you reply?

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in a recent meeting with elders, an argument was used to the effect that jehovah has always [= throughout history] used, or operated through, an organization; therefore, the wts must be that organization today, since god must be using one.

  naturally, i know what arguments i've used to counter that argument.

  but i'm interested in hearing yours.
