  during a recent c.o.

  of his employment.

  New JW Scam?? Here in Australia...

  by TheApostleAK in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's good to be back on here.... ok, is anyone aware of this particular scam that seems to be big here in adelaide, south australia.

  i've heard a couple of times were jw's have befriended old people (particularly one's that live by themselves) and get them to a) join up or b) become good friends with them.

  after being friends for a while the jw's 'suggest', 'coax' etc, to the old timer to put them down (the jw's) on their will.

  I have no doubt some Jehovah?s Witnesses have done this, but it is not unique to them, nor did they invent it. That sort of thing has been with the human race since the human race began.

  WHAT?S SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE? Yancey

  by yesidid in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i found it the most upbuilding, faith-strengthening book i have ever read.

  particularly coming from the judgmental wt system, it was like a comforting refreshing stream in which to bathe.

  i know that many on this board no longer believe in god or the bible.

  LoverofTruth,

  Thank you for suggesting books by Max Lucado, Is there any partituclar title you would recommend? I am just starting out on my non witness reading and am very impressed with Yancey but am happy to try others.

  Hi 3 rd

  I also have just started ?Rumours? and am enjoying.

  HappyDad,

  I agree with you, the contrasts between true Christianity and JW?s is like love and hate. Well maybe not all hate there are some loving JW?s but the central structure is so judgmental it almost feels like hate. I have purchased ?The Jesus I never knew? and intend reading it after ?Rumours?.

  Edge

  I agree shallow and selfish are certainly accurate descriptions of the JW?s religion.

  Billygoat,

  I am sure also will have to make it a regular read, you forget so quickly.

  I know that many on this board no longer believe in God or the Bible. I ask you kindly to respect my choice. But for those who do, have you read the above book by Philip Yancey. He also wrote ?The Jesus I never Knew?.?Where is God when it hurts?, and many others.

  CURRENT CO?s refresher course studies ?REVELATION CLIMAX? book!.!.!.!

  by yesidid in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  also used were the daniel book, the question box from the kingdom ministry from 1972 till now, subjects from the insight volumes and a lot of watchtower articles.

  i could hardly believe they would have nerve to bring out the revelation climax book.

  but as i thought about it more i wondered if they (gb), in their delusional state, somehow think it supports their claim to power.

  But why have the CO's study it as a large part of a refresher course?
