WT application of James 1:27 - looking after widows and orphans
by EndofMysteries in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
since the bible is clear on helping widows and orphans, needy, poor, etc, it's interesting to see how the wt twists these scriptures to make their followers feel they are following it when they really aren't.

because it costs money to really help those and the wt wants the money themselves.. here are some wt quotes directly on fulfilling this obligation of james 1:27 -.

help elderly get to the meetings -.

Giant ship vs Noah's Ark
by Simon in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
take a look at this giant ship that's been built and imagine if would still be large enough to house all the animals on the planet for an extended period of time.. the ship, with modern materials and tools, would take a single person nearly 8,000 years to complete.

how many more people designed it and supplied the materials?

imagine how many trees would be required and how long it would take to transport them alone.. still think noah's ark is feasible?.

How many of you followed the WTS direction on education years ago and have been screwed by it?
by Julia Orwell in
1. jw
2. friends
i'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.

as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?

surely education should come first.

DC 2010 Release - The Origin of Life and its many misquotes
by Designer Stubble in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i have just started working my way through the new publication the origin of life 5 questions worth asking.

it is completely appalling.

it is at the very most six grade level and just the first references i verified (which most dubs dont do) have been taken out of context, are completely misquoted or in the example of using the encyclopedia britannica a dated version is used rather than the most recent one, to align with what they want to write, rather than aligned with the newest research.. .
