can i ask please especially for all who are pomo?.
we've taken a decision similar to revelation 18:4 to get out of the watchtower and not share in its sins.. how many of you still believe that god will one day terminate the world's many systems by means of an armageddon?.
Why did John not write or mention the destruction of Jerusalem by Rome since he wrote in the 90’s, over 20 years after? That was also part of the fulfillment of Jesus prophecy so why not draw attention to it?
I am no Bible scholar but it raises serious questions about the date and author of Revelation.
no not the watchtower, but franklin graham's samaritan purse!
nothing on the website as of noon friday edt.
evidently all the resources are tied up making their next movie.
There are still a lot of JWs in that part of FL as I review the yellow pages. However, WTC will not be funding any relief efforts. It not their policy to apend money in that manner. As for Franklin Grahams efforts, it was refreshing to see organized religion actually give something back. I won’t question the motives.
and all things are of god, who hath reconciled us to himself by jesus christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that god was in christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

5: 18. then fourteen years after i went up again to jerusalem with barnabas, and took titus with me also.
Someone I loved and respected once told me that JWs was a man-made religion. As I absorbed that truth and all that it implied, I began ti understand the “Why?” behind everthing they do.
what do you guys think of the evangelicals theory about babylon the great and the last pope...just starting this big book out of curiosity...like 500 pages...it seems there is a lot of different thinking from the borg.
Does anyone seriously believe that WTC understands ANYTHING about the Bible? Their record of getting it wrong is beyond 50/50 odds. They get it wrong with such frequency that I have wondered if they were intentionally trying to misdirect their followers through blatant confusion. There are no true scholars in the inner circle, not even wannabes. So why do they continue to interpret what they do not understand?
mormons in the news covering up abuse allegations.

Mormons and JWs are two peas in a pod where CSA is concerned. The question is WHY? What ate they trying so hard to hide?
this will be a short one.. i am looking for a csa court case that was posted months ago that was actually reported to a gb member and nothing was done because of the importance of the individual to the media production.
anyone have the video regarding that case?.
The Briggs case is ongoing. He (the alleged Pedo) moved to Ecuador and has quite a following there among the JWs. As for Zalkins progress toward disclosure by WTC, nothing to report at this time. As for the number of responsible brothers who were aware of the allegations by Briggs step daughter, they need to be charged IMO. They sat on their hands and did nothing while the girl was claiming to be abused during her time at Bethel, and when the Briggs left for their seasonal return to home. Throughout the process, WTC has closed ranks and refused to provide pertinent information - their typical posture. It is tragic to see how many times WTC can do this without being held in contempt. If they have nothing to hide, they should have provided the facts that could prove otherwise.

"senior jehovah’s witnesses member charged with rape, torture and assault of teenage boys...".
the 61 year-old man "faces 21 counts of rape, 17 counts of sexual assault, 13 counts of procuring sexual acts by false pretence and one count each of incest, torture and common assault.".
Many JWs want to leave but they feel trapped. Being told to go back to D2D or else may shake them loose
a new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.
wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.
that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.
Scientists often have the same degree of zeal for theories as religionists do for doctrines. I suppose that following the facts as they are revealed is perhaps the most balanced approach AND it allows us to enjoy - not dread developments that challenge current beliefs. Perhaps we will never fully understand all the events of universe’s beginning and if that is the case, then so be it. The alternative is to demonize anyone who disagrees and be left behind as more facts emerge.
why do you think many jws are hostile and rude?
or is that just my imagination?.
mark jones writes: the vast majority of jehovah’s witnesses are nice people.
I recently experienced the full shunning treatment by family and I can tell you that JWs are conditioned to throw away family if they are told to do so - period. This does not speak well of them as humans and certainly not as Christians.
if you still believe in god and the devil.. .
where did the demons come from?.
the wt says that they are the angels who came to earth and had relations with women on earth, who on return to heaven were thrown into tartarus.
It does say that the ones who forsook their heavenly position took the daughters of men, “namely all whom they chose”. How many eligible women were there at that time so that each angel could take a harem? If their offspring were hybrids who could not reproduce, how long would it take before the population would have been in danger of extinction?
There are not enough details in those few verses to determine what/how many/when/for how long. i decided that it was a waste of my time trying to figure it out. Sampling the 31 flavors at B&R was more fulfilling.
