  "If so, be assured that you, as a part of Jehovah’s worldwide congregation, are really appreciated desperately needed".

  hello all.... i am new here so i figured i'd make a quick post introducing myself and giving a brief intro as to who i am and what i'm here for... as well as to hopefully meet others.. so, i made a profile and in it i gave a pretty detailed explanation as to my intent here and exactly why i decided to participate in the boards.

  in case you don't read it, i'll give a brief summary.

  the name is robert.

  Obviously, I had no right to judge as I was judging a huge community of different backgrounds

  Feel free to judge them all as if they believed exactly the same, because they do. It's a high mind control group. They all are forced to do and think alike, even if it cost them their lives (blood policy), family unity (shunning) and sacrificing your dreams (no higher education, no material things, poverty vows) to serve a heartless corporation.

  Your excessive use of the word "truth" makes you a perfect candidate for the Jehovah's Witnesses. Give it a try. You will fit quite well.

  Are Jehovah`s Witnesses of today, aware, or even care about their early history of the 1800`s ?

  by smiddy in

  2. beliefs

  in the 1960`s when i was a new convert , a 20 year old , i devoured the book "jehovahs witnesses in the divine purpose" outlining the early history of the restoration of true christianity in the world.it helped to convince me then that this was indeed the true religion......not that i remember much of the details it contained nowadays .. i understand there was a poor attempt to mimic it with the " proclaimers " book a much sanitized version of the early history of the jw religion.

  what reputable organization in the world ,secular ,religious or otherwise ,doctors their own early history/ beginnings unless they have something to hide or are ashamed of.. how many jw`s today would know that they were formed as the " international bible students association" in the late 1800`s , or that their first president of that association was none other than w.h.conley ,and not c.t.russell.. does it even matter ?

  does anybody really care ?.

  Do you think the average JW today are aware of these facts or even cares about them ?

  Most not aware, the others don't care.
  

  Are they bible students or not ?

  They are watchtower students

  Blatant attempt to keep women single and pioneering. No wonder so many women never marry

  spain bethel sent a letter recently last oct 3 interpreting that no elder or sm should request a certificate of sexual offenses as other churches or persons in contact with kids.

  Thanks sp74bb. I missed it because it was right after the letter from Bethel and seemed to be part of it.

  Based on the content of the letter, these are not elders who are just concerned about themselves, they are apostate elders who want to hurt the Watchtower. I hope it works.

  Where's the letter from elders to the Ministry of Justice? Anyone can make up stuff. So far the opening piece offers nothing

  The "What Ifs" of Watchtower History

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  counterfactual histories (where historians or journalists imagine how it would have turned out if history had taken a different path at a crucial moment) have become really popular in recent years.

  they have also gained greater academic credibility, having previously been dismissed as frivolous or analytically irrelevant by serious minded historians.

  now even senior academic historians, such as richard evans, extol the virtues of counterfactual history as a way of exploring cause and effect, and distinguishing long term trends from serendipitous contingencies.

  Entertainment value, otherwise an utter waste of time.
