  i have read all the rules and terms of service etc before asking this, and there was also a topic about it from five months ago so i figure it's ok. i'm not sure with subject area it was supposed to go in, so i went in the watchtower one seeing as that's what it's about, but please correct me if i'm wrong as i don't want to break any rules accidently.

  i was also unsure if i could post on that thread seeing as it's an old one.. has anyone had any success trying to get hold of the jw.org email(s)?

  i would like to contact them about some questions i have but they seem to not have one, and i'm too nervous to ring a phone number they have in case someone recognised me.

  We are now around 25 years past the point when Armageddon was to arrive as PROMISED!

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  absolute worst case scenario, the last of the generation that saw the events of 1914 would have died off would be in the mid to late 1990's!

  so we were told in the 1980's!

  so now we 3/4 of another generation past that!.

  The three wise men

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just a thought.... looking through the greatest man book, something just occurred to me which i can't recall has ever been highlighted (but please correct me).. i always thought it a bit strange that jehovah allowed the three pagan astrologers to find jesus especially as they were obviously guided to him by satan's star (remember they were led to herod first who wanted to kill the messiah).

  what purpose did it serve?.

  well, a few pages earlier in tgm book, we see mary presenting a dove as a sin offering at the temple - this was the cheapest offering that was acceptable which must have meant that they were pretty poor at the time.. shortly after the three wise men visited the family had to flee to egypt when herod started to kill all the young boys in an attempt to kill jesus.. what would they need to travel and live as exiles for a couple of years?.

  The Bible doesn't say they were "three", that God didn't send the 'start', and that Jesus had just been born, to add a few to your posting.

  What is truth?

  by spectromize in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ah!

  yes, that remark made by pilate after pilate had asked jesus wether he was a king.

  ( john 18:37-38 ).. how would you answer the question according to what we know from the bibles definition, and how the faithful and discreet slave have endeavored to give us spiritual food at the proper time?.

  "What is the Truth"?

  Pilate didn't want to hear it, and most here don't.

  So why ask?

  But the FACT remains; the Truth (aside from the BS) is promulgated by the Watchtower (the GB), NOT the churches!

  What if you have been taught at a young age to question EVERYTHING, at to know GOD, instead of the Triune Joke of the churches...
