do you think he could get reinstated as president?
do you think trump will run again for president or do you think he will just be a force for the republican party behind the scenes?.
The problem is that he expects fellow Republicans to put loyalty to
him above loyalty to the Constitution and their oath of office.
Good point TD
Trump assembled his own constitution which stated you better be loyal to him irregardless of established laws, rules, information, intellectual honesty and truth.
even if you disapprove of much about the wt and/or its religion, what aspects do you view most favorably about the wt and/or its religion?
for me one of the things i view most favorably about the wt and its religion is its extremely strong insistence that jws never intentionally kill another human being.
i especially appreciate that regarding those who have been born, but i think some abortions of human embryos might be justifiable.
The one thing that comes to mind is the advantage of meeting different people in a social environment that you could say you had something in common.
Yes that includes meeting people of the opposite sex.
to the majority of people who investigate the activities of the wts from its beginning history there were obvious false proclamations and doctrines propagated by the wts.. a matter of fact the wts produced a long list of literature that posted proclamations on the front cover and went into detail of things that were suppose to happen, from jesus returning changing the world in which we live and so on.. wonderful things one might say but not factual or either theologically correct .

Thanks for the info DJW
it's pretty easy to see how current events would have any jw convinced the end is imminent, but i just don't see how there could be a major push for zealous service, pioneering, etc.
decades into the future.
even if (when) world events happen periodically that could scare the r&f, there are now countless hours of hd video of jw leaders saying how close the end is.
The problem with most JWS is that they are poorly educated so when the current events are used to show mankind is living in the last days ( ie. plagues ) they eat it up like jam on toast and dont question what the JWorg leaders (GB) say.
So 30 years from now the same people at the top of the organization will implying the same fear mongering tactics.
It unfortunately works on a segment of the population.
They will become the Org's mentally brainwashed slaves as the people before them.
many that have come to this forum have left the jws religion and moved on with their lives but from a outsider's viewpoint what do think makes the jws religion wrong or incorrect as a active christian faith ?.
somethings come to mind such as its long continuous end times/armageddon soon doctrine which has really been a core doctrine for decades going right back to its beginning .. maybe they should have adopted the stance as other christian based faiths and adhered to jesus's own words when he said " no one knows of the time not even he ".
.
The Armageddon soon doctrine which the WTS has proliferated for over 100 years is impart one that builds the controlling power for the GB members.
The time of this system of things is short so here is what you must do to make yourself righteous in the eyes of god so you as an individual can make through to paradise.
we had a fancy dress up party in our congregation.
elders special pioneers and many others came, though some came as cowboys and pirates with guns and swords which was not in line with the watchtowers "beat your swords into plough sheers.
" some sisters were belly dancers....yes they exposed their stomachs.....shock horror!
Having lose harmless fun is frowned upon in JW cult land, it was always an oppressive religion, orchestrated by overly empowered elders, it still is.

In the overall grand scheme of things these men assumed well if they are wrong they say well we are imperfect too, but in the mean time will take that cultivated power and money and use it to are own will and purpose, it will be are own personal earthly Kingdom, you must be subjective to us irregardless

The items the WTS published and produced had a commercial agenda attached to them toward the cultivation of money, it wasn't just about important vital information.
Some people will deny that, I particularly dont
In hindsight that information was false apostate teachings which according to bible scripture should never been taught.

Another notable error on part of the WTS men is their growing cultivation of power and control over people which grew steadily over the decades, one might say these men got delusionaly drunk on power,
God's chosen ones directed by god's holy spirit as they say, a foundation to their own inherent corruption.
Whenever men come out and proclaim that, a human folly is usually in the works.
ie... thousands died from refusing a blood transfusion, possibility of millions of families broken apart.

I guess the WT publications trumps/carries more weight than the bible?
Yes good point , to the WTS GB men righteousness is obtained through them, they are mankind's mediator not Jesus so the dismissing of some of Jesus's teachings are placed aside.
John 14 : .......
. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
