  As a JW, what did you do on Christmas Day?

  by Magwitch in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  growing up a jw, we always had family from out of town visit or we would go visit family.

  it was fun to get together with my other jw cousins over christmas.

  (however, it was hell going back to school in january as the only girl without a new sweater).. as a married jw though it was a different story.

  i just received the email below from an xjw in quebec.

  we were wondering if we would get to see the program, a jw expose', we were interviewed for last spring and now everyone can see it all on the internet.

  it aired on swiss tv yesterday.

  I saw it, and it was well done. Witnesses were also given footage, although it seemed to me that this was more as to give them a chance to give their version in a way... The brother interview in disguise, stated that the witnesses claim their organization is perfect. Well it has been said many times that the organization is made up of imperfect people, thus not perfect. However, of course by means of the way it is taught in the congregation, one is told to obey as if it was perfect...

  The witnesses portrayed also gave a positive impression.

  Does the Watchtower contain photo's of the Devil

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have not been able to find any photo's of satan the devil in the watchtower.

  there are photo's of the serpent with eve, satan's hand offering kingdoms to jesus and a shadowy cloaked figure speaking to jesus on the mountain.

  apart from that i cannot locate any of a proper looking devil.

  this took place in the "branch-town" of selters in germany in front of more than 30 other witnesses.. it was a knife-stabbing that took place without a word or anything in advance that could explain why it happened.. quite a tragedy... .

  It appears that there is some distinction in the information on the killer´s relations to the JW... One source states that he has been baptized for two years. A policemen stated he was taking steps to become a member..

  the murder took place in the Kingdom Hall...

  Pretty dramatic pictures here in Bild Zeitung:

  That might apply to some witnesses. However, that is not my general impression... many go to the movies, theatre, sports events, have gatherings, travel a lot etc... Quite a few also have regular association with non-witness family.

  google translation can get some strange renderings:

  The injured, who worked in the headquarters of the Jehovah's Witnesses in Germany soda, died an hour later.

  soda of course should be Selters....

  There was an illustration of him showing a pretty, but haughty angel... Cannot remember which publication. Perhaps blondie knows?
