  How would you rate the Watchtower approved songs?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was asking why jws won't sing any church hymns even if they were doctrinally correct.

  jws asked me in response if i would sing any of their songs.. dan watkins wrote .

  its a hilarious misunderstanding, if it does not come from the watchtower bible and tract society, then it is effectively considered as coming from satan.

  I think the answer to that would be,

  "No, look what happened when Aled Jones sang 'Listen, Obey and be Blessed' "

  Man in story: 'Is that The Man from JW Broadcasting?'

  Stephen Lett: 'Am I a joke to you?'

  Mark Sanderson generously thought up this whole scenario so that his captive audience realises just how modest, unassuming and humble he really is. 'The Man' indeed!

  Would there, or would there not be, lawsuits if they took away the blood transfusion ban?

  by VerdadTJ2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have heard or read, many times by many exjw's, that the org does not remove the blood transfusion ban because it would be crippled by the resulting lawsuits the minute that "new light" was made official.i am not a lawyer, but i would like to know what legal opinion lawyers have on that.on what legal basis would there be a lawsuit?

  "i am suing the watchtower because my relative died because of a rule they had but no longer have"?am i missing something?.

  If the blood doctrine was removed, that'd be one less thing for JWs to feel smug and superior about.

  There is no 1900 year old faithful and discreet slave

  by Longlivetherenegades in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  now that the long-expected kingdom had become an established reality in heaven, surely its growing interests in the earth after 1919 would not be left in the hands of a novice organization of spiritual babes.

  and that proved to be true.

  it was the 1900-year-old “faithful and discreet slave,” the old christian congregation, that was entrusted with this precious kingdom service.

  The above proves something very true and inarguably about Jehovah's Witnesses: they are an ad-hoc religion.
  

  They say and make up things as they go.

  You really articulated something important there! This would be why nobody can be reasoned into becoming a JW, and why so many are reasoning themselves out of it.

  the evangelical church in rome will move to strasbourg to seek justice from the european court on human rights (ecthr) to eliminate the huge tax burden.

  in the meantime, protestants all over the world are amazed by what is happening in italy..

  So basically, Italy is NOT 'going after protestant religions'.

  One little church might be trying to get a tax exemption they aren't entitled to, and is being denied.

  Protestants around the world might, or might not, be 'amazed' at some aspect of this, for sure.

  UK Blood Scandal inquiry findings

  how do you feel about this latest inquiry?

  although we expect jehovah's witnesses to use this opportunity to say "we were right all this time", it's nonetheless a historic blow to the nhs.

  you will definitely get AIDS if you get a blood transfusion.
  

  It's worse than that! You'll become a homosexual!

  A fun moment

  my wife of many years is more-or-less pomo, but she still (nominally) believes in jehovah and the bible.. she raised her eyebrows when she realized the full scope of the csa problem… rolled her eyes when letto the clown called babies “little enemies of god”… but today, we apparently crossed a real threshold….

  …her response to the governing body being referred to as “our future kings” was….

  …“what????!!!!!”.

  I just knew that they'd imagine a hierarchy amongst the 144,000, with them at the top level!
