Where did Christendom go? They HATED our bible in 1950...just read...
by oompa inthe articles on the jw-cd which only go back to 1950 where we fought back the attacks.
i do not understand why they did not continue to blast our bible since it is such a fraud....down south in usa churches teach members how to refute dubs at their door.....but why did they stop blasting the nwt?
it is sooooooo easy to show a dub there is a bunch of made up crap in it.....i may have to help my local chruches.....if you need more info about the horrible fraud parts, feel free to pm me.........................oompa......even elders dont know

Speaking as a Brit Anglican l would say that most members of Christendom don't know any very much about the WT.
Certainly my fellow church members often think that l am being somewhat unChristian when l speak of a cult.
Most know that JWs don't celebrate Christmas and birthdays but know little about the level of control , shunning etc . They don't know that the WT has it's own Bible.

This good news of the kingdom
by Rattigan350 ingrowing up around the faith, whenever i heard something taught, i'd always think there is a different way of looking at that, probably better.. we always hear "this good news of the kingdom will be preached... " matt 24:14.. so i think, is there more to it than preaching the kingdom?.
luke 17:21 the kjv and asv says "neither shall they say, lo here!
or, lo there!

Smiddy re the Good News I'm not sure how you can categorically say it never will be preached in all the Earth or that there are billions of people who have never heard it now.
The Gospel has been preached all across Europe, Africa, the Americas, the Middle and Far East . There are Christians in all those places .

Hi , I'm Jan from England. A slight oddity here. Never a JW but a life long Anglican ( C of E ) .
I stumbled across this sight a good few years ago while researching in the WT after several weird conversations with JWs . I wanted to learn more about counter witnessing. I've learnt a lot more than l expected , about all sorts of things!! .

"Somebody" needs to do "Something!"
by Terry init's always unjustifiable for a country to attack another country without having first been attacked itself.. the nuremberg trials at the end of wwii made this clear.. more vividly too: following orders as a patriotic duty is never secondary to the pangs of your personal conscience.. .
worst of all, hypocrisy destroys credibility when you.
criticize other countries for doing what you have done.. .

Terry , you say that conscience comes before duty ( orders)
It should however we only apply that to other countries. If American soldiers had defied orders say in Korea or Vietnam they would be labelled traitors and shot . If British soldiers had defied orders in the Falklands same thing .
Conscience only comes into play when it's other folks troops that we are talking about.

Awakes says playing Chess is evil not for Witnesses!
by Witness 007 inawake 73 3/23 p.12 "the spirit of compatition between players can lead to unpleasant circumstances...in some homes tensions linger longer then checkmate.
chess is a game of war a play substitute for the art of war...danger of stirring up compatiton and hostility to one another something the bible warns christians to avoid.
what effect does playing chess have on you is it wholesome?

Pat Robertson makes one last ''doomsday prediction''
by RULES & REGULATIONS inpat roberston,92, comes out of his million dollar mansion ( which his loyal followers paid for ) to continue his doomsday prediction.
pat needs to make one last appearance to show his followers he was right all along.
after all his failed predictions on his ''700 club,'' pat needs to show his followers that this ''doomsday prediction'' is a bible prophecy.

I'm not saying that religious freedom and choice is bad, it's not .
The UK has religious choice and freedom, we just tend to choose to exercise that freedom in different ways to the US .
Most churches over here do work to help people. Food banks are common , groups for lonely people like lunch clubs are common. Plus lots of other initiatives. You don't have to be a member of the churches to make use of the help .
Mainstream churches in the US like Catholic churches probably do much the same.

TV evangelists aren't big or even small in the UK .
Religion generally in the US seems very different in America. I must admit that we British Christians do tend to roll our eyes and shake our heads at some of the antics . Which , paradoxically, is maybe not very Christian of us .
I think that Creflo Dollar is someone that maybe people are aware of . I believe that he did come over here a while back . However no one took any notice of him
I would say , to be fair to them , that UK JWs probably aren't as rabid as their US counterparts in general.
