You can find a article on jwfacts.com Under pledge of aligence. I believe it was stopped after 1973. To your point what a bunch of hypocrites use 5 year olds to further the messiah complex but had no problem with themselves giving an oath to ones country so they could fly around the world. For some reason that really pisses me off!

Virgin Birth Claim Disproves Biblical Inspiration
by AlanF inmany bible believers claim that the old testament contains over 300 so-called messianic prophecies.
however, a careful look at such claims shows that at least 80% of these have absolutely no connection with jesus, or with events beyond what the ancient writer was concerned with.. take, for example, the famous example of the supposed virgin birth of jesus.
this is based on the text of matthew 1:18-23 (nasb):18 now the birth of jesus christ was as follows: when his mother mary had been betrothed to joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the holy spirit.

I can wrap it up really quickly. Even if you take the jw version of john 1:1. A god squirted out of a chick's wahoo and chilled for a few decades then was all god like and stuff healing people. Then telling them they are going to die unless you all believed his words(Which by the way no one had the chance to write down until decades later). Jesus walls of text to try to explain something that has to be the stupidest story ever told.

"New Light" discretely slipped in on the 2014 regional convention: Paradise in heaven.
by EdenOne in2014 regional convention:.
on friday, on the last speech of the morning, (the "key speech"), a bethel member slipped in some "new light" rather casually, without much fuss.
he mentioned the out-of-body experience of the apostle paul, in 2 corinthians 12:2-4, where he experienced being "caught up to the third heaven ... caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible words...".

You actually hit it right on the head. Lunch was coming up. I care more about their doctrine than jws do. I would say 90 percent of the people do believe but this is more of a social club than about what day in October Christ began ruling in heaven. If tomorrow they said generations overlap most would not even notice. Wait sorry that already happened.

I told a jw at my door once. "If you can lie to millions of people about this generation and then just shrug your shoulders and say new light. Why not just be a Catholic in a couple hundred years they'll get new light and be right also." Let's just say she did not find it as funny as me. Lol

Why has the watchtower never written a commentary on the Greek scriptures?
by kneehighmiah inthey have writes hundreds of other repetitive books, but no bible commentary.
is it because an actually commentary would destroy their doctrine and prevent them from being able to cherry pick scriptures?.

The bible is the most important book ever written. That's why the only verse by verse reading is given by a 5 year old kid during the TMS.

I know the elders would spend unlimited amounts of time, gas and even neglect of their own families to get someone if they even heard a rumor of wrong doing So they could kick them out of the hall. Does that count?

The List, by "Prominent Bethelite"
by morloc ini occasionally pop through here to catch up on the latest, but this time i'm going to pop my own post on here.. some of you internet oldsters may even remember this.
my first experience on the internet regarding discussions about jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower took place on a now-obscure usenet group, before i eventually stumbled across hourglass2.. during those days, there was a poster who went by the name "prominent bethelite," an otherwise anonymous individual whom i remember most for an extensive, exhaustive compilation of date-oriented remarks, predictions, and expectations by the watchtower organization down through the decades of its history.. it became known as "the list" and it's definitely lengthy... but a fascination look at the abundance of errant statements made through the watchtower's history.. if you're curious, it's been available for a long time on hourglass2's site, and can be seen using the link provided below.. the list, compiled by prominent bethelite (1999).
that's about it for this stop through here.

The CO visit this week he says" In August..."
by James Jackson inup until 5 years ago, the co used to work up their own parts for specfic congregations in their circuits.
everything is up to script, in other words, every co in the country are givings the same talks in the local congregations they visit.
what got me to cringe is when he said at the meeting, trying to encourage everyone to pioneer this august; he said :" you know this october it will be 100 years since gods kingdom began ruling, remember what happen when joshua told the israelites to march around jericho on the seventh day, and what happened when they let out a great war cry?
