Leolaia: How do you know so much? Private/personal research, or did you go to a school after leaving the witnesses? I look forward to your posts all the time. The effort you put into your posts is amazing!

If solid proof were suddenly found that the Book of Enoch should be included in the standard Bible, would that pose a problem for the Jehovah's Witnesses in regards to Michael the Archangel as Jesus?
by I_love_Jeff inif the book of enoch (elaborates and gives mention to 6 more archangels) suddenly became part of the bible due to solid evidence, how would this effect the shakey jw doctrine of michael the archangel as being jesus?
there are six other archangels mentioned in this book; could it be possible, if included in the jw bible, that one of the other archangels could be jesus?
would they excuse it somehow and simply stick with their implicit understanding of jesus=michael?.

If what the poster said is true, there WILL be changes hard to take in. I could also be wrong in the translation because of false cognates. The only way to find out is if I ask a native.

"academic literature" is a mistranslation. I understand some Portuguese and the correct translation would be "doctrinal field".

Email from my grandmother yesterday.
by elder-schmelder inhere is an email that my grandmother sent me yesterday.. .
shawn, it's very difficult & sad to come to this decision, but because of your attitude towards the truth & us personally (thinking that we are stupid) we're going to treat you as a disfellowshipped person from now on.
actually, you're worse than them because usually they know they have not kept their oath to jehovah & don't speak abusively of the organization and don't turn apostate.

I'm so emotional right now. Even though she's not my grandma I felt the sting. I wish this cult imploded already. I think it's a good idea to send her the multi-million dollar lawsuit news article from Fox. She's better off donating to The Gideons International if she wants people to have a Bible. They have given more free Bibles than the WT.

Wow, Emery. I can't do much until I move out, and it's a scary thought, but I'm still glad I awakened.

The transformation into cult religion: Jehovah's Witness empire in 15 steps
by Terry inthere are only 15 steps from a widely scattered readership of 2nd adventist speculations published by pastor russell into a world wide monolithic control cult.. it reads like a machievellian discourse of absolute power:.
1. nine years after the death of pastor russell his publishing company was being operated by an editorial committee which would review articles pre-publication for the watchtower society.. in 1925 the president of this society (rutherford) offered up an article of extreme controversy.
it was titled the birth of the nation.

Disturbing new YouTube video showing Anthony Morris's approach to teenage baptism
by cedars inif anyone was under the illusion that all baptized jw children become dedicated solely of their own volition, then hopefully this new video should be a wake-up call.. .

(unfortunately, due to the soundtrack i've chosen, this video is apparently banned in germany.

I was one of those who got scared into getting baptised young. My parents told me that getting baptised was the ticket I needed for paradise. I did not feel ready and was afraid of getting disfellowshipped because I had seen how harsh shunning was. Not that I was a troublemaker, but you just never know what could happen in the future.

Why choose the Bible?
What would you have chosen if your Mom wore a burkha?
BlackSheep: I've read that before here when I was lurking, and it really made me think. That and thousands of religions that all claim to be true.
