Why dont Jehovahs Witnesses target the Muslim religion as they do Catholics and the protestant religions
by smiddy in
1. jw

o.k.

fair enough they do not have the same freedom to go from door to door in muslim lands , and of course their are so few of them their to make any impact with their incidental witnessing .. however with modern day technology ,the internet , blogs ,tweets ,social media , etc,etc.

they could saturate /flood these countrys with their brand of " truth" if they were serious about it .. the fact that they dont, : means they are not serious about spreading the good news of the kingdom in all the earth , making jehovahs name known in all the earth , or witnessing to everybody on earth so they can have opportunity to gain salvation .. or are they afraid of what the muslims will do to them in retalliation .. smiddy.

WT August 15, 2013 QFR - Sitting next to a disfellowshipped child at meetings
by Designer Stubble in
1. watchtower
2. bible
page 8 of the latest wt (insider version) has a whole page dedicated to the question whether it is appropriate to sit next to a disfellowshipped child at meetings.. not sure how to paste this in, but check jw.org.

perhaps someone can do this for me.. horrible, no words really on how pharisee like their cult grip and control has become!.

first of all, without any shame they are talking about disfellowshipped minors.

The emphasis is on Jesus, even in the New World Translation
by JimmyPage in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
this was a point from "in search of christian freedom" that i really appreciated.

in the new world translation the name "jesus" appears in the christian greek scriptures 912 times.

compare that to "jehovah" which appears (or has been inserted) 237 times.

he was one of the chiefs at the australian bethel during the late 70's early 80's.
