JWs' Letter to Dateline
by jschwehm in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
i just got a copy of the society's letter to dateline as to why they would not agree to an on-camera interview.. they said that since dateline told them that most of the people that they were interviewing considered themselves active jws, that for the headquarters to make a statement that it would make it appear as though "brother" was speaking out against "brother".

and that a nationally televised program was not the appropriate forum for them to work out their differences.

(this is interesting since the pandelos and barb have been dfed, haven't they?).

Favourite Governing Body memeber?
by the follower in
1. jw
2. friends
i have noticed that there is a tendency in this group to speak injuriously of glorious ones.

in an attempt to help us be more "balanced" in this regard i invite all to share which governing body members they like.

who is your favourite governing body member?

Split infinitive ruins society
by the follower in
1. jw
2. friends
a couple of years ago the queen in her address to the nation used a split infinitive for the first time.

needless to say, society has been reeling from the consequences of this lapse of judgement ever since.

there are fewer things i feel more strongly about.

just feel like i need to vent.

my wife accused me of seeming not to enjoy being around her.

this was an accurate assessment on her part though i didn't acknowlege that.

THESE ARE THE SIGNS OF THE LAST DAYS
by In_between_days in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i was talking to a reletive lately (j.w), and we had quite a discussion about my problems with the w.t - child abuse, u.n and other various scandals.. this person informed me that this proves that we are in the last days, because if people believe that there are things wrong with the organisation they will leave and many will discredit it, showing that jehovah is weeding out the goats.

when i asked "why would jehovah allow his organisation to do things like this"?.

he replied: "it cant be a totally good and perfect organisation, or else people will be flocking to it, what would be the point in having the test for people?".

Where is the Great Crowd?
by Dawn in
1. jw
2. friends
this post is mainly for non_trias_theos - but any of you who are jw's feel free to respond.

i know this should probably be posted on the bible research board, but being that "non" is a newbie i wasn't sure he'd check there.. question - where is the great crowd?.

read the verses (revelation 7:9) in revelation that refer to the great crowd (or multitude) and tell me where they are in those verses.
