  i have been out for nearly 40 years now - baptized at 14 (although not to the org), but faded away.

  but i am wondering about this:.

  aside from the obvious power they wield, what's is in it for the gb?

  How Knowledge is Dissipated in Talks

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  londo111 » each congregation has a “talk coordinator”.

  talk coordinators will coordinate with other talk coordinators in order to find speakers to give the public talk on sunday.

  typically, they come from the general area: the circuit or a nearby circuit.

  “winning the battle for your mind.” that is the title of an article in the latest watchtower magazine, of july 2017, pages 27-30. wow, how ironic!

  here is the direct link:.

  Just because something is old, does not mean it is "Special" or "Sacred" or "Valuable"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a thought occurred to me that simply because something is old does not make it valuable or worthy of sacred reverence.. the bible is held up as sacred just because it is "old" and apparently preserved.. but, that does not make sense.

  if in thousands of years someone finds a notebook of my scribbles or sketches that i threw away, that doesn't elevate them to "valuable status" simply because they survived.

  they were thrown away because they were worthless.. or if an archaeologist finds an ancient broken bit of pottery that was used for garbage disposal, it doesn't change its status from what it once was - a garbage bin.. i guess what i am trying to ask is, why is it that we as humans give value to writings just because they are old?.

  JW's And Yoga

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this was partly discussed in this thread: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4853755331739648/these-common-jw-beliefs?page=2#!#5701815683252224 but i wanted to delve into the topic of yoga even further.. it seems watchtower have no clue what yoga actually is, or what it can achieve.

  i myself dont practice yoga, but i do meditate and see the benefits of that.. here is an artical from watchtower 2002 with my commentary:.
