  the Remnant

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when was the last time anyone recalls hearing the word 'remnant', in meetings or conversation?

  is it something still discussed?

  [i haven't attended in 20 years, so no idea].

  Disgusted By Today's WT Study 12/6/15

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  no, not because of the message of deluding yourself into seeing the hand of god working in mundane wt activities.

  that is to be expected from this org.

  what really bothered me was the quote in paragraph one.

  i am wondering if my deceased elder father was awake?

  once we found out he was dying, i spent every moment i could with him, we were very close.

  Does being a "born in" blur parental vs JW issues?

  2. experiences

  thank you to the many people who have posted their experiences and advice on this site!

  i have browsed a few topics but the threads that i seem to gravitate to the most deal with family.

  there is certainly a lot that i can relate to in many of the anecdotes i have read.

  Jehovah's Witnesses View of Jesus Compared to the Early Church

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the following is an extract from something i wrote 16 years ago soon after leaving the watchtower.

  i am posting it because it may help honest jws consider how far their beliefs are at odds with new testament christians.

  if they have "the truth" then their attitude to jesus ought to reflect that of the apostles.

  Did The Witnesses Predict the United Nations in Advance?

  by TD in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's been reported on this forum that bethel speakers at this summer's conventions are asserting that the establishment of the united nations in 1945 was predicted in advance by the witnesses.

  this is being presented as validation of the claim that the witnesses are god's one true organization directed by holy spirit.. .

  the basis for this claim originates with a public address entitled, peace - can it last given by n.h. knorr at the new world theocratic assembly, on september 20 of 1942. .

  What Was The Silliest "Offense" That You Were Counseled For?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a teenager, i was told by an elder that because i smiled a lot and was known for my good sense of humor, that i should come across as "more serious".

  so before i was appointed a ms, while in my late teens, i transformed myself into a much more "serious" brother.. were you ever told that you needed to work on something that you knew was stoopid?.
