  i don't know if i can put my musings clearly into words , but i' ll try to be coherant !

  on a couple of other threads lately folk have said that they have no wish to disenchant jws who are happy in the org .

  those who have no personal problems and are content to stay in , thinking that it is good way to live and the nearest thing to the truth .

  Watchtower crackdown on anointed expansion - are they reaching for a solution to the expanding numbers problem?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower

  if this has been discussed i missed it.

  i think the january study watchtower is a concerted attempt to reduce the numbers claiming to be anointed.

  but i love the sneaky way they go about it this time.

  Is zeal beginning to vanish?

  it has to be starting to fade somehow.

  the very last time i went out in field service, hardly any were out.

  maybe just about nine people were out and man if you could just see their faces.

  The Watchtower is not invincible

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  despite claims to the contrary, there's no guarantee the watchtower will be around in a few decades time.

  and it seems to me there's ever mounting evidence that the opposite may well be true.

  but it's not just that recruitment is down and their defectors are up.

  What were Satan and his demons "doing" up in heaven, before being "cast down" in 1914?

  by Dunedain in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was just thinking about how the wts has been spouting off for years that satan and his demons were cast down to the vicinity of the earth in 1914, but really, when you think about it, what was the difference before 1914 or after 1914?.

  its not like satan and his demons did not have access to the earth.

  satan and his demons always were messing with earth.

  "Life is so hard!...tribulation and problems abound!" Persecution complex of witnesses.....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the meeting this week is mind-blowing in the way it fuels the crippling "persecution complex" of witnesses!.

  paragraph 1 set the theme with this gem:.

  does it shock you that you can expect to face many tribulations before you gain the prize of everlasting life?

  41 Theses on Blood: My "best of" questions/arguments on JW Blood Ban

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  on the earth you should pour it out as water.. from these verses it is clear that there is an old testament prohibition against eating blood.

  if not, why do you think it is sacred?

  so whenever a person took the life of an animal, they were to drain the blood and not drink it because the blood represents the life and not theirs to take without god's permission.
