did anyone catch primetime (or was it dateline) the other night about how the islamic militants build terrorists?
the focus was on a special school somewhere in pakistan, i think.. the way the indoctrination was carried out was eerily similar to the way jw children are raised.
the islamic children heard a constant chorus of how 'right' the muslims are and how wrong the rest of the world is.. when the reporter asked the children the simplest of questions, the brainwashing came through loud and clear.

the "christian longo" drama has been on television and in the newspapers now for about a week, and will stay in the headlines until he is captured.. the xjw community ****now**** has a good opportunity to communicate with reporters to explain that jw shunning may very well have been the driving force behind longo's downhill slid which finally climaxed in an act of mass-murder.. per the news articles, longo's initial problems appear to have been "financial".
such problems could have been dealt with if longo's parent's would simply have offered and provided financial assistance.

does anyone know when the practice of disfellowshipping by the jws started?
i doubt that it was done from the very beginning.
i was asked that question this morning and it is not something i have ever thought about before.. target
when jesus was on earth the devil approached him quoting scripture in order to tempt and entrap him.
it is no wonder then that the apostate angel would be behind the effort to use the scriptures against jehovahs people today in order to mislead them.
one of the most cunning and effective uses of scripture against us by satans agents is the charge that we are false prophets.
"The following material is presented courtesy of divine inspiration." For reasons I've taken pains to explain, they're never going to make such obvious statements.
You hit it right on the money. After reading through this post, YK was accurate in his statements. The WTBTS does not say they have divine inspiration.
shall i go on, or does this now constitute "many, many"??Well, go on, because it does not. You just repeat dates like a robot. 1881, 1914, 1918, etc... The brothers were not predicting, but trying to understand Bible chronology and prophesy. They were not telling the reader what to believe, but to come to their own conclusions on the scriptures. Now, here you are more than a hundred years (taking into account the 1881 date you through out) making these false accusations about those sincere, faithful brothers that were investigating the scriptures.
in the post just for you, farkel brother big jimbob, comments about maximus:yeah maximus was a big loss.
his predicting the results of the historical special meeting make you know look prophetic.
lol .
These meetings were after 9/11. I maintain that this event forced an immediate change in the WT projected plans. There plans for these meetings were no longer appropriate for some reason and they had to back pedal, and not do what they planned to do.
Whatever.
What happened to Maximus anyway?

I have always wondered how the society arrives at the conclusion that they and they alone are the only group in the entire world that is able to accurately interpret Bible. How do they really know for sure?
We fulfill Bible prophesy. To understand, you must study the Revelation book.
Every organized religion in the world feels that they are THE true one. And they can all use scripture to back up their position.This is true, but there is only one way. You have to decide which one it is.
But maybe God will allow us to know more in His due time. Maybe we all should stop judging one another on issues maybe we don't completely understand yet.Exactly. Jehovah is the one with all the answers and he will provide guidance at his own time. That is why we should not make matters that we don't fully understand trivial.

doing a watchtower search on googles.com, i came across not a few sites/hmo's listing the insurance companies they accept and listed among quite a few was watchtower bible tract society.
does the society have an internal health insurance agency?
i asked my boyfriend about this and he said that in order for that to be the case, a company has to have plenty of money and usually does this to be able to specify its own coverage, i.e., no blood transfusions.
