  What's Is The Goal Of This Religion?

  by pale.emperor in

  2. beliefs

  what's is the goal of this religion?.

  i mean, if it's for money they could do a lot more like other religions do: tithing, paying for prayers from the gb, selling "miracles", selling "blessed" items, selling courses.. if its for power then what are they hoping to do with that power?

  they dont seem to do anything.

  Ken’s Bag of Rice

  Ken, who is six years old, lives in Haiti. He was happy to learn that soon a new Kingdom Hall would be built for his congregation. He decided to make a secret con- tribution box and hide it in his room. Instead of spend- ing the allowance his parents gave him for school, he put it in his box. He did this faithfully until the King- dom Hall construction group arrived to begin work on the project. He then gave them his secret box, which contained enough money to buy a large bag of rice. For many days, Ken’s rice was served at the work site during the noon meal.

  
  

  A yearbook story one of many, that cannot ever be verified. How poor children in destitute areas give all to the Hall, so you well off folks should give till it hurts, speech. Barbara Olsen commented in the past that lot of "stories" were found to meet the situation at hand.

  2. beliefs

  you found out about ttatt way back in the 70's or maybe the 80's (basically before the internet) and you thought that you were all alone in this knowledge?

  what do you think would have happened to you?

  no jehovahs-witness.com, no john cedars, no arc, no jwfacts.com and no crisis of conscience to fall back on.

  I use to go to the library and use the reference library to find articles about "the Cross" and other items . purchased books from a church book store, the 1st one was "30 years a watchtower slave" and another book was by a writer named Martin. They were the way then to find out about the T., but I knew that were off because of the 1914 belief, and I use to say, all I have to do is just wait till say 2000 and this will be proved wrong and it will fall apart. They really held strong to this belief and I was sure if this proved wrong, it would be the end of them. wrong.

  Circuit ASSembly low-lites

  by FedUpJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so in an effort to relieve some pressure here are what i term the low-lites of yesterday's assembly that i had to endure for the sake of family still in and my progressing fade.

  apologies in advance for being pretty long winded.. these may not all be the actual words used, but the ones i use are close, and they pretty well say what was said from the platform.. right off the bat in the opening prayer the praises of the governing body were spoken.

  thanking the g.b.

  The Real Reason why the WT predicted Armageddon in 1975

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am of the opinion that the wt doctrine is influenced more by external factors that it is by internal ones.

  one of the doctrines that has puzzled me for some time is the armageddon prediction of 1975. why would the wts make this prediction?

  what was their real purpose?.

  by sir82 in

  2. bible

  ok so this week's wt study article is entitled "why must we keep on the watch?"..

  it is filled with statements on the importance of "being watchful" for the beginning of the "great tribulation".

  paragraph 2: “keep looking, keep awake, for you do not know when the appointed time is.”after that, jesus admonished them repeatedly: “keep on the watch.”.

  Science the bible and some telling scriptures

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if one reads about god creating the earth with any critical thinking you'll notice that he created vegetation and the trees before the sun.

  another one that i just read about was the stories about the golden calves.

  one story involves the making of a golden calf by aaron and the other is about the golden calves that were set up at bethel and i think dan.

  29When he reached home, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, limb by limb, into twelve parts and sent them into all the areas of Israel. 30Everyone who saw it was saying to one another, “Such a thing has never been seen or done, not since the day the Israelites came up out of Egypt. Just imagine! We must do something! So speak up!” Judges 19:29, How do you cut a body into 12 parts and be even about it? Maybe he cut off some fingers and called them parts, and did he deliver them to all the areas of Isreal himself? Or did they have Donkey express to make the deliveries? This chapter is so absurd that not even commentaries talk about it much.
