  i agreed yesterday to engage in the '607' topic.

  i've read numerous threads and am well aware that this topic has been addressed and dissected quite thoroughly.

  therefore, if you are uninterested in participating, that's fine.

  How do you keep your hopes up while in this doomed existence?

  by sabastious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  coming from aguest's thread where she showed us the article that describes a "brain drain" that has been occuring for centuries do to "mutations" i can't help but be a little fed up with how much negativity comes from the land of science.

  sure, facts are facts and they do not set out to sound good or bad, but instead of identifying the problems of doom, like our brains are devolving, why not focus on the solutions to those problems?

  where are the hopes and dreams that our culture so desperately holds onto which actually provides the drive to progress towards them.

  Question?

  by Ethos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first of all i'd like to apologize on behalf of my "college dropout" thread.

  i intimated it as a humorous and somewhat true form of sattire.

  i didn't think people here would take it so seriously and literally.

  Ethos (and all still mentally in): Truth, Tipping Points and Standards

  by NeverKnew in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if this is "the truth," why has the information provided over the years contained so many errors?

  at what point does "error" become "outright lie" for you?

  how high (or low) are your standards for your spiritual leaders?

  Transfusion and Eating – no difference?

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  transfusion and eating no difference?.

  today i added a new article to my blog addressing what watchtower says in public view about transfusion versus eating compared to what it admits in private about transfusion and eating.

  its short and sweet, and of course documented.

  Greetings! From an Existent JW!

  by Ethos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'd like extend a greeting to all members of jwn.

  i've been a lurking by-stander of this forum for approximately 6 months.

  i think this forum's best moments can be attributed to the involvement of actual jw's in doctrinaire discussions and to heated (though not always dialectic) debates.

  Fact Jews Returned In 538 BC Kills Off Watchtower Chronology

  by AlanF in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower society's 1914 chronology hinges on a dicey chain of claims.

  if any of these claims is wrong, then the chain is broken and watchtower chronology collapses.

  along with it goes the entire belief structure built on it, including most importantly the claim of the leaders of jehovah's witnesses to have been specially appointed in 1919 by god over "all christ's belongings" on earth.
