Did Jesus say his followers would be witnesses of Jehovah?
by blondie inwhat did jesus say?.
(acts 1:8)8 but you will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon you, and you will be witnesses of me both in jerusalem and in all judea and samaria and to the most distant part of the earth.
by "divine providence" what did jesus' followers become known as?.

There are churches here in Pennsylvania with graveyards.
It must depend on municipal laws.

Members of the Governing Body are "ordinary"?
I went to a service where the audience murmered in great delight in being "at the feet" of these "great" ones. It was my understanding that they were just watching a video?
Seemed a little... odd.

If Jesus is Michael, then why would he be afraid of Satan?
by Pronger1 injude 1:9 shows that michael didn't dare rebuke satan.
if jesus is michael, then why would he be afraid to do so?
in matthew and mark it clearly shows that the demons were afraid of jesus..

Cause Michael and Jesus are not the same being.

Most-Ignored Scriptures by JWs
by Mad Sweeney inthe watchtower has been known for over 130 years as a great scriptural cherry-picker.
they pick out disparate unrelated verses and combine them to support the wackiest of wacky doctrines.. on the other hand there are many scriptures they almost never address, whether because they contradict wt doctrine or because they simply don't have a clue what they mean or how to spin them to the wt advantage.. one of these is revelation 19:1 that mentions a "great crowd" "in heaven.
" the only time it is ever brought up it is dismissed.

With respect to how bad it is these days, is there any thought given to Eccl 7:10?
10 Say not, “Why were the former days better than these?” For it is not from wisdom that you ask this. And with respect to cursing others, how about a little further down in the passage... Eccl 7:20-22. 20 Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins. 21 Do not take to heart all the things that people say, lest you hear your servant cursing you. 22 Your heart knows that many times you yourself have cursed others.

Out of curiousity, did you feel love bombed or just genuinely welcomed?

Has anyone used this question on a JW? How might they respond?
by BU2B inas i was laying in bed i thought of a question to ask my wife.
"when the wt has an article on the next change in teaching or new light, just guessing, what do you think it might be?".
it does not need to be phrased just like that, but i thought it might be a powerful question since it would make the jw subconsciously question all of the current teachings, something they are not taught to do.

NJY... I've asked how honorable it is for EVERYone to be wrong, in unity.
I didn't get a clear answer.

In the past, I've talked to my friends about how it appears the WTS unapologetically and inexplicably changes doctrines and definitions.
A couple of weeks ago, and thanks to another poster, I was able to show an article from 1942 where the WTS declared that the shepherds and dukes were the annointed and Jesus. That week, the presentation was on the shepherds and dukes being the elders. Yesterday, I wondered out loud how it must feel to be trapped on unstable ground with the WTS. In churches, I explained, core doctrines change very rarely. If you don't agree with the core doctrine, you switch to a church that more closely aligns with your own "new light."
I got the "but we're the only ones who preach" argument which I countered with the Pentacostal growth.
I guess you have to be careful about spitting contests. There's a war to be won.
