  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i just got the october 15th 2002 issue of the watchtower magazine.

  on pages 8 and 9 we see a caption reading " jesus firmly opposed the devil".

  jesus is standing there pointing at a slouching, hooded man.

  Patio34,
  don't yawn just yet. The picture you refer to in the Live Forever book on page 17 only shows a hand. It doesn't depict Satan the Devil in the entire human form. Other pictures in this same book depict only fallen angels, not Satan. In the Revelation Climax book Satan is depicted as a Dragon on pages 181-184 & 231, 288-292 but again not in human form. I would really like it if anyone can point out Satan the Devil in human form in WTS literature (and not just a human hand).

  "DF'd JWs speak out against practice"

  by Ephanyminitas in

  1. social
  2. current

  shirley jackson was "disfellowshipped," or excommunicated, from the jehovah's witnesses in 1995 after being associated with the church for 30 years.

  jackson is speaking out against the organization because "i don't want anybody to go through what i went through.".

  Why should they report?

  by Country Girl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this is gonna earn me a bad rep.. but i think it needs to be brought up.

  i am just playing the devils advocate here.

  why should there be a remedy of punitive damages for jw's that bring up the spectre of child abuse when the law doesn't require that ministers go to the law to report?

  Country Girl,

  Its a question of principle. The Jehovah's Witnesses are supposed to be morally superior to the rest of the world since they adhere so closely to God's Word the Bible, right? So if thats the case, then the "moral" thing to do is to report sexual predators such as child molestors. To use typical Dub thinking: If Jesus Christ was on earth right now, what would he do if he found out a child molestor? Wouldn't he report that person to the authorities?

  Jourles,
  the artist's rendition depicts Satan as a dark hooded figure, slouching, with white knuckles. The bearded face is dark but you can still make out the whites of his eyes. I look forward to seeing your picture. By the way, the four horsemen of the Apocalypse are not representative of Satan. Death as depicted in the Revelation-Climax book is not the same at all with the October 15th 2002 Watchtower magazine.

Jesus is standing there pointing at a slouching, hooded man. I have never seen a WT artist's rendition of Satan the Devil. Is this possibly the Society's first depiction of Satan in human form?

  i sent the president, vice president, us senators, and the ny city council an e-mail regarding the silentlamb issue and the march on the 27th.

  here's the response from the white house - it's a generic response, but at least we can say 'they got a witness' .

  thank you for emailing president bush.

  A good question to make JWs 'think'

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most of us have experienced the frustration of trying to convince a friend or relative that the wts is not what it claims: an organisation backed by 'god'.. of course, it is very difficult to prove a negative and a real die-hard believer will explain-away any evidence of wrongdoing by the org.

  as they are trained to do so well.. i have found it good to reverse the question and ask them:.

  "what would the wts have to do to convince you that it wasn't god's organisation?".

  Excellent question! I will definitely used on my wife and discreetly with my Dub friends. Who knows, maybe some will come to know the "truth" and leave the WTS!
