we just got back from our circuit assembly.

in the final discussion, the district overseer went on about 'not having anything to do with organizations or any part or branches of organizations that would have objectives contrary to kingdom interests.

it was quite obvious to those in the know, that he was talking about the united nations scandal.

with so much information out there now, it's easy for some to wonder to themselves as to just how it is that it's possible that jws continue to be so blind.

the answer to those ponderings comes from the watchtower itself and is found on page 28 of the current bookstudy book isaiah's prophecy ii.

at the top of the page within pg 23 it says ... .

Signs of the Last Days?

i would appreciate some serious discussion and comments on signs of the last days.

i've already run a search for previous posts on the subject, and most of what i found was silly, sarcastic, name calling, etc, but nothing of any real value.

i would really like some information, links even, for some valuable information on the subject.

Watchtower forced to alter doctrine.
by apocalypse in
1. watchtower
2. bible
as a christian, it is necessary to spend time considering and meditating on what god has to tell us in his written word.

but, as one who has spent many years practicing within the structured life of the watchtower society, it is also necessary to reconcile the truth found in god's word against the ideas and inventions propagated upon our minds within that structured life, for the sake of clarity.

since i, reluctantly, continue in association with the watchtower society, the need to do this on a regular basis becomes all the more pressing.
