this is a new holiday in canada, and i wonder what "pagan origin" the watchtower society will attach to it in order to get jws to avoid it and to instead spend the day selling books and magazines.
if jws do spend the day in so-called "field service," it will surely draw criticism from their canadian neighbours who appreciate the anti-workaholic purpose and spirit of the day.. .

I doubt they have expressed themselves as opposed. But they obviously prefer the cards due to the signature and clarifying explanation that would be too lengthy for a necklace or bracelet. I suppose, too, JWs don't want to wear something conspicuous that would call attention to a teaching that already has resulted in a lot of bad publicity for them. Frank

the authorized shepherd of the jehovahs witnesses was chosen to help get truth out to mankind at one time; but christ warned that the shepherd had better be doing what was supposed to be done when he arrived for the inspection in these last days.
because they have misinterpreted much of the words true meaning, they have been in the dark on much of what yahweh meant.
the shepherd over the jehovahs witnesses became corrupt, but the jehovahs witnesses did not become corrupt intentionally.
This message is delivered out of love and compassion and it is our heartfelt prayer for all who read it, Jehovah’s Witness or not, that their eyes and hearts and minds are open to receiving the valuable counsel which is being imparted here today.
The writer probably doesn't realize it, but he "delivered" his "message" in the same presumptuous and arrogant spirit that turned many of us away from the Watchtower Society!
"Valuable counsel"? Who is the god or scholarly expert who authorized him to define his own personal opinion as "valuable" or as "counsel"?

can anyone explain to me what "no one comes to the father but through me" means ?.
i told my mom, who is getting baptized tomorrow in the baptist faith, that we have to pray to the father, not jesus like they do.
she told me that they pray to jesus because jesus said, "no one comes to the father but through me", so they pray to jesus directly, and then he relays the prayer to the father.
The New World Translation is well-deserving of criticism, but not in this verse. Because the word for "me" is missing in some ancient manuscripts, there are translations that agree with the NWT in John 14:14. For example,
