  In keeping with the recent language used to describe the Gospel of Judas, one could say the entire Bible "SUCKS". I understood that there was only a third of the text was lost. There were apparently a lot of Christians that were Gnostics at the time. But, what does the Watchtower think of the relatively newly appeared Gospel of Judas. Can we try again?

  JEHOVAH'S WITNESS VIEW ON MUSLIMS: WHAT IS IT?

  by Terry in

  the new pope is beginning to speak out against radical muslim extremists from his (papal) bully pulpit.

  that is a good thing.

  since the muslims themselves are strangely mute on those who besmirch their religion by spilling innocent blood it behooves .

  The WTS a religion or a commercial enterprise?

  by greendawn in

  do you think the wts is behaving like a religion or like a commercial enterprise (operation) that is aping religion in order to derive profit out of it?

  .

  i see them as a business whose imitation of religion is so inept that it can easily be detected.

  I am sure that there are countries in the world that see through the screen. Some do something about it and others not. The USA is so political that any suggestion that adversly affect or violate the constitution in the remotest way would be suicide for that person or party. I wish there were a way. THey are certainly a caniving group of individuals. I would like to know how the principals live. Someone up there in the hierarchy is living high on the hog. I have not read anywhere the details of the remuneration that exists among the top executive branch. It seems to be very well hidden.

  I wish that these derogatory remarks did not appear on this web without a hyperlink that would say where the information originated, if authentic. If not, do not let it appear. This is not the place for dreams and nightmares.

  in a 1996 questions from readers, the watchtower reported the following regarding the number of partakers in 1935: .

  w96 8/15 p. 31 questions from readers ***.

  the facts over the decades reflect both the completion of the calling of the anointed and jehovahs blessing on the growing "great crowd," who hope to survive "the great tribulation.

  has your language changed since you left?

  i know mine has.

  i went back to my flat earlier this afternoon to pick some things up, i am moving out of there slowly, and was carrying a heavy box out to my car when i stumbled and dropped it on my foot.

  it wasn't too painful, thankfully, but i came out with a stream of expletives, most of them beginning with f. when i was a jw, even thinking those words would have filled me with shame.

  didn't i read somewhere on this forum that there is a "pool" of 50-100 "young annointeds" (aged 50-60 or so) that have various responsibilities in bethel?

  and that as replacements are needed in the gb, they are drawn from this pool?

  the last 4 or 5 gb members most recently appointed are "young annointed" ones.. so, for all you ambitious young ms's out there, here is the career track:.
