  My Dad's story

  by coffee_black in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  freedomlovers post about her dads letter got me thinking about my dad, in fact, it sounds like it could have been written by my dad.

  every once in a while it really hits me that he is no longer here to talk to.

  unlike most of you, i wouldnt have been afraid to approach him with questions or doubts.

  Why aren't congregations much bigger in size?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  like that, they wouldn't need so many elders and ms. they would have plenty of brothers to read and pass the mic.. no where in the bible do they mention how big or small a congregation should be.

  if ever one day they have a hard time forming enough ms and elders, wouldn't it be simpler to just make congregations larger?

  JW urban legend? Has anyone heard of a JW clone group called "The Princes"

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a dub i know found some info about the christadelphians.

  it was quite remarekable to her that there was a group with so many ideas, so similar to the dubs.

  such a reailzation is a bit of a challenge to a dub, since they spend so much time fancying how unique they are.

  Overpopulation in the "Paradise" Earth!

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jw doctrine teaches that the 1,000 years of christ corresponds to "judgment day," and everyone who has not already been judged will be resurrected from the dead.

  the exceptions would be those who died during the flood, the destruction of sodom and gomorrah, and a few odd individuals.

  but that's only the people living today.

  30 and Out?

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  30 that seems to put jw's at a cross-roads?

  i've known so many who have decided to abandon ship at either the age of 30 or either after 30 years of being baptized.

  i fall into the former category.

  The Watchtower and the Masons

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the latest edition of the free in christ ministries journal contains a very interesting article entitled the watchtower and masons.. drawing upon material from the book the watchtower & the masons by fritz springmeier, it gives the following parallels between the things that c t russell believed and those taught by the masons:.

  * both believe jehovah is the most important word being the basis of their dogma, and the name of their god.

  * both believe god yielded power to a lesser god.
