  New Release for 2013 District Assemblies

  by RubaDub in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  an insider at bethel has confirmed that there will be a new book released this summer at the district assemblies.

  the society is using some new technology called "current light.

  " it allows them to print the book with certain parts in permanant ink (as has been historically used) while other parts of the book have erasable ink.. as i understand it, sentences that begin with words such as "evidently, apparently, obviously, it appears that, likely, clearly, doubtless" and numerous other phrases will be in a slightly different font so that the "current light" sentences can be easily changed when needed.. for example:.

  Flip-flopping all over the place

  one minute i'm believing completely in god and in jesus christ, and in the next instance i'm questioning all religious systems in general.

  i think i'm just lacking faith, but then in the back of my head i'm wondering if i've just been so indoctrinated and deluded...that i can't imagine living without considering that there is a god to be worshiped, or that i need to worship god in order to be happy.

  i don't know how full-blown atheists or full blown christians do it either way.

  biblestudies in the report, is the numbers they show us correct?.

  i've been thinking of this, and as i am from sweden i use my own country as an example.. to notice is that sweden is high penetrated of internet.

  the young ones here is often really good in english.. and i suppose that hardly one third of the jw kids finaly get baptised.. at most positive.. .

  Is this a new low?

  by Darth Eowyn in

  just had a couple of jws stop by my house.

  they had been before several times and know that i'm a pretty devout catholic, so i'm sure they were just swinging by to get more time for the card.. well, this time the opening line was about the tragedy in ct. i mean, really?

  you're going to try to get converts by capitalizing on this tragedy?

  Watchtower's Armageddon vs Sandy Hook

  by LostGeneration in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  slidin fast made a great post yesterday about the elephant in the room, the fact that the wt teaches millions of innocent six and seven year olds are doomed to die if their version of armageddon comes about.. that coupled with a brief, stupid conversation with my jw father this morning where he asserted "we really need jehovah's kingdom" in response to the shooting led me to investigate how many six and seven year olds would be killed at armageddon.. according to census.gov there are about 243 million six and seven year olds alive in the world.

  all of them doomed to die, according to wt theology.

  (well, lets give them 1 million jw kids, even though that probably covers all jw kids, not just 6-7 year olds).

  all documents of important nature such as, our kingdom ministry, boe letters, forms, or other materials will now be sent only by email or private message communications.

  they will not be posted out here on the board.

  if someone else wants to post them, be my guest.. .. we have no other choice in this matter, and sending out confidential documents is better when it is done privately.
