Some addicted smokers or alcoholics would happily stand in front of tobacco or alcohol advertising posters and say " nope I'm not giving up " its the same deal with the addiction jws have for their internet product.

The most successful teaching of Jehovah's Witnesses and an amazing new book on the divine name
by slimboyfat injehovah's witnesses have had to revise their chronology and various doctrinal interpretations due to events and scholarly corrections.
but the one teaching where they have been consistently ahead of the curve is the importance of jehovah's name.. .
i'm going to run through a (necessarily selective) timeline of jw events and scholarly publications that demonstrate the phenomenal success of this teaching in the last days.

As we are now on ' going to war ' if someone comes to your door and physically threatens you and your family. .. how would you react ? ...by inviting them in ? Lets scale it up et voila !! Thats unfortunately the human race hence war and confrontation. .. there is no god yaweh jehovah or take your pick, no armaggedon, paradise or petting lions and tigers....get real and get over it !!!

@sbf...." must be something bigger than ourselves " Is that not humanistic reasoning that got this whole 'god' sorry mess thing started back in the mists of time. Imo its about time the human race got real and kicked it into touch. We have the ability as a modern educated race to do so without hindrance from posts such as this claptrap! !

@sbf...I think it would be appropriate for jws to look their 'gift horse' in the mouth, a bit of proper scrutiny wouldn't go amiss! !

Theocratic warfare. Great video
by stuckinarut2 inwe all recall the appalling example of vin toole during the australian royal commission when he was questioned about"theocratic warefare".
here is a great video that shows how the society has used, and in turn tried to lie about "theocratic warfare".

Well done brother vin toole.... you sure showed those evil worldly authorities a fine example of the use of 'theocratic warfare '...too bad they saw right through you, as did anyone else who watched your feeble testimony.

The Witneses reckon that they are the only ones going door-to-door!
by Bungi Bill ini just had a visit from two guys who are engaged in a door-to-door campaign in the area, preaching "the gospel", and offering, to quote "the best news you are ever going to hear".
this was at 3:30 pm local time, an hour at by which all jws would have long called it a day.
while these two didn't identify themselves with any particular church group, it was quite obvious that they were neither jws or lds.

I had a lovely older lady come to my door (actually i was in the garden ) she presented me with a tract, content of which was jesus message etc, and an invitation to their meeting hall. I accepted the tract and thanked her without going into a discussion . She then went on to other doors. There has not been a jw at my door for years, although i suppose i could be on the ' do not call list'

Russell's Pyramidology Originated In Edinburgh Scotland
by cofty inthe edinburgh city observatory sits atop calton hill at the east end of the city centre adjacent to burn's monument, scotland's national monument modelled on the parthenon, and nelson's monument with the time ball that falls at 1pm every day except sundays.. .
the second astronomer royal of edinburgh was charles piazzi smyth (jan. 1819 - feb. 1900).
smyth was a man of many and varied interests including meteorology, producing weather observations that still form an important part of uk climate records to this day.. building on the work of james taylor, smyth became fascinated by the great pyramid of egypt at giza.

Interesting post cofty...and imo absolutely on the money relative to this discussion forum. I have researched this subject in conjunction with my interest in Egyptology and have, because of my knowledge of C T Russells pyramid observations and his conclusions i focused on these connections with Smyth etc. Intresting that the foundation of the wtbts jws was really based on a ' pyramid scheme '. I believe the then bible students were given the opportunity to purchase pieces of the waste stone used to construct the pyramid structure next to russels gravestone, not sure of its veracity. Perhaps someone still has a piece?
