  Lie convincingly.

  by Norm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  fanatics and such always seem to be in need of a crash course in how to dodge and wiggle out of embarrassing situations.

  it is very handy to be able to talk yourself, and possibly others, away from the fact that you are a fanatic, which hasnt got a leg to stand on.

  the procedure is, lie convincingly.. if you like to be able to do that, join jehovah's witnesses.

  1975 New Info

  by AlanF in

  it means that within relatively few years we will witness the fulfillment of the remaining prophecies that have to do with the "time of the end.".

  the lead article "the finest work on earth" in the october 1967 km (p. 1) continued the theme of preaching with a sense of urgency:.

  the sense of urgency was effective in getting some students to make a decision.

  im new to this (or any) board and id like to introduce myself.

  ive been visiting this and h2o for about a month now, and it has been so therapeutic for me.

  ive been inactive for about 2 years except for memorial and assemblies and those have only been for my siblings sake to help care for an aging parent.. i decided to join in and introduce myself because yesterday i read ozzies great post on restrictions on march 23 pm and got so worked up by past memories of my experience with dfing and going through the humiliation of qualifying for reinstatement.

  I see little good left in WTS

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you said, "so would it be wrong to accept the fact that the wts, despite its flaws, has many good scriptural truths to share.".

  i think most of us accept that the wts has done some good, but as the years pass, i find that the good i thought they did is getting less and less, and more importantly, the harm caused is getting greater than i could possibly imagine.. you continued, "can we reject what they have pressed to the world: god has a name, his kingdom is to solve mans problems, the earth is to become a paradise as god purposed, man will live endlessly on earth as intended, those who died will return in a resurrection of the dead rather that burn in hell, and this good news is to be preached in all the earth.".

  at this point in my life, after 25 years of being a jw and now an ex-jw, i find their message, its very root concepts, pure fantasy that may not necessarily god's will.

  w73 11/15 703-4 questions from readers ***.

  do paul's words at 1 corinthians 6:1-7 mean that under no circumstances should a christian take to court a case involving a fellow believer?

  -u.s.a. here paul was showing the corinthian christians the inconsistency of taking disputes between christians before secular tribunals.

  Edward Chitty, Governing Body - Former

  by waiting in

  2. friends

  this quote is from jerry bergman, phd.

  i have seen quotes where his opinions are quite belligerent against the wtbts.

  however, due to my childhood background, this quote is quite curious.. i have read inuendos about homosexuality amoung governing body - but have read no details nor explanations.

  by Friend in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  considering the latest questions from readers article on blood transfusion, i was wondering what the feelings are among this forums participants about blood transfusion.

  over the years the society has been receiving a growing amount of letters on the subject of blood and blood transfusion.

  any interesting biblical perspectives here about whether "abstain from blood" means abstain from blood transfusion?
