  Korean News : CoC in Korean

  by AntiEntropy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi bros.. after my father's publishing his book, "15 questions after 40 years of jw" , many ex-jw bros in korea became motivated to rush to the coc korean project.

  however any secular project needs a fund eventhough it's a not-for-profit.

  fortunately, a bunch of bros decided to donate generously $300~$7,000 to this unprofitable business.

  I went to see my Dr about the blood card issue

  by purrpurr in

  i booked a double appointment so that she wouldn't be rushed.

  i explained that i'd been brought up in the jw's and woken up to what a load of shite it was.

  i explained that they have changed the blood card and that the elders in the cong are being told to effectively force people into signing it.

  The Watchtower Society’s 607 BCE Foundation Exposed

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the governing body and its watchtower society claims that in 1919 it was appointed by jehovah god and jesus christ to represent all of their earthly kingdom interests, to be their unique voice and sole representative towards all people on earth.

  the watchtower’s authority lives or dies with that claim..

  the society’s critical date of 1919 is calculated from the dates of events in the 6th century bce.

  Doug,

  Thanks once again for another impressive piece of scholarship! Your work and jwstudies.com deserve wider recognition. If I recall correctly, you never were a JW; if so, the extent of your interest in this sort of specialized research is even more remarkable.

  "For example, if a brother is so extremely overweight that others would be distracted if he had a part on the program, good judgment would need to be used in deciding whether to give him an assignment, even though he might otherwise be qualified"

  Hmm....Are there any of the Magnificent Seven to whom this might apply?

  Catholic encyclopedia misquote

  by alcyone in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i do not know if this misquote has been discussed here already.. new catholic encyclopedia says this about jw:.

  "judge" rutherford introduced important changes in the witnesses' creed and transformed the congregational structure of the sect as it was under "pastor" russell into a rigid theocracy.

  the third leader, "brother" nathan h. knorr, gradually replaced the offensive convert-making tactics of the rutherford era by suave manners that have gained the witnesses their current reputation as one of the best-behaved groups in the world.

  Overall, it seems a fair statement if necessarily generalized for brevity.

  New Light - Two Sticks in Ezekiel - July 2016 Watchtower

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ezekiel 37:15-17 prophesies about two sticks being joined together to become 1. one stick represented the two tribe kingdom of judah and the other stick represented the 10 tribe of israel (ephraim).

  the article explains how the coming together of these two sticks meant the reuniting of these tribes in 537 bce.the modern day fulfillment was previously taught to mean that the anointed had once again come together in unity in these last days.the july watchtower now explains that one stick, the stick of judah, represents the anointed and the other stick, the stick of ephraim, represents the other sheep.

  they further explain that since 1919 god's people have gradually reunited to become one flock.they are now saying that the other sheep are represented by 10 tribes of israel.
