  The Books That Redefined C.T. Russell's Beliefs

  by Maat13 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  according to wt history, as a youth/young man, ct russell was unsatisfied with a number of explanations he was taught about the bible.

  as a result he went on a quest to 'study' the bible himself.

  ultimately this led to an organization that now requires its members to read bible aids to help them understand the bible.

  What's "THE END" going to look like?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  okay, so its no secret that many of us are hoping to see the downfall of the wtbts (or at least a mass exodous of jws away from them anyway).

  i was wondering if you had any thoughts on what this might look like?.

  we all know that most every jw has their doubts, large and small, but is afraid to speak due to the illusion of unanimity and self censorship .

  July WT Study magazine - How can any intelligent person believe these things??

  by Faithful Witness in

  2. beliefs

  i haven't been paying attention, i admit... but thought i would go and look at their latest magazine, and see what my parents are spending their precious energy on this month.

  my mom retired in may, and we have seen her just once since then.

  our invitations have been rejected, due to meetings, conventions, service work requirements, etc.

  it's definitely on their minds.

  i attended a funeral recently and a jw told me that the person who died almost made it to the 100 year anniversary of the birth of the kingdom.. curious what comments like this you've heard in your area?.

  (and can't wait for november!).

  ALIENS!! (and the downfall of religion)

  by disposable hero of hypocrisy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  let me clarify, when i say aliens, i don't mean shiny helmeted spaceship dwelling anal probers.

  (although i could be proved wrong).

  if any alien lifeform was found on mars or another planet or even a comet, be it tiny bacteria or even some form of non carbon based life form, would that not destroy religions grip on mankind?

  2. beliefs

  i thought to give a more comprehensive summary, however this pretty well sums up the entire wasted day.. stand and sing.. prayer thanking the gb.. only jw's will survive "the end".. do more.

  preach more.

  indoctrinate your children more.

  Miller and Barbour...yep! Probably the two greatest biblical scholars to have ever walked the earth. Proof that simple math skills and a bible can make you a star!
