  Today's Watchtower Study is SO dumb!!!

  by TimothyT in

  i would like to think of myself as an academic.

  im starting my second degree and i enjoy research.

  when i see a statement backed up by references and support from a credible source, sometimes i get excited.

  I`ll play the devils advocate : generation change

  by smiddy in

  i have the wt may 15 1994 scan with the birthdates & deaths of the 16 people featured, and it occured to me using wt logic,that you could extend the generation timespan this way.. #6 d.d.

  was born in 1892 and died in 1984. that was the earliest birth of this group.

  #4 j.e was born in 1912 and died in 1997. the age gap between these two is 20 years.

  The WT is already on record saying the 1914 generation will not pass away. As the Watchtower cover shows they are wrong on that prediction. Anyway I like your WT logic.

  Terrible Analogy at a Convention

  i'd love to know what you guys think of this.

  brother jackson (from the governing body) had this "neat" analogy at the very end of the convention.

  he said; "what if you were watching a football game on tv, and it was the trojans against the fighting irish, and it's been a good game.

  The dubs have being on the 1inch yard line for the last 150 years. A few weeks back I met my ex brother in law that I hadn't seen for a few years. He said to me, oh I know we have been saying this for years but this system can't last another year... I have known him for about 45 years now and the same tired story I have heard from him from day one.... You would think he would learn. I recall him saying that before 1975 that we would not finish the year out in this old system.

  I will be a little more tactful in my response but I do agree with most of the posters on here. Being raised a JW we have had our fill of the bible thumping, self righteous preachers. This is the last thing we want to listen to.

  New Light @ The 2011 District Convention

  by dontplaceliterature in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  " at the bottom of the image on the back of the invitation raises some eyebrows, but last night in the routine district convention article during the service meeting, i caught that one of the paragraphs mentioned that we would be encouraged to keep a copy of the tract in hand for a discussion during sunday's last talk.

  my guess is, there is going to be some new revelation about what the "?

  " represents, or some other fangled idea.

  Looks like regurgitated crap from the old Babylon The Great book. I remember that one and the big push before the end of the system in 1975!!!!

  darthfader,

  The US still should have had an independent autopsy dome on the body by 2 or 3 neutral parties. Again photos can be faked, DNA could be altered etc. You think the US would have learned from their past mistakes like the Kennedy assainations etc. Anyway it still will not end evil in this world as long as we have religious philosophies that promote hate and divisions.

  Big deal as photos can be faked to. Where is the body? Why didn't the US have an independent autopsy conducted? The US is only opening themselves up to so called conspiracy theories. Bin Laden and Al Quada have always been the US's great boogyman to keep people in fear. Mark my words the terrorist attacks will not stop.

  Taking things out of context is what the Watchtower are good at. They have made it a science. Just look at their Evolution Book, everything in their is either mis-quotes of famous people and quotes taken out of context. I understand they no longer put the reference of the quotes at the back of the book.

  You know this book will be pulled pretty quickly as soon as the GB gets wind of it. If she is a good JW, doesn't she know that independant thought is not approved by the Watchtower.
