  will this wake any jw's up to how they have more in common with other sects than they believe?.

  "From a human standpoint, we will never say that we have the right religion or that someone else has it, but we will go to the Bible, share what the Bible has to say and we'll leave it up to the individual to determine who has the truth."

  Brian Alexander lied about WTBTS/JW position on who they believe has "the truth."

  "We will never say..."? Someone, prove him wrong using WT literature against him.

  Why report on such a scenewithout doing more of an investigation into thesereligions/ cults for thearticle? He painted a picture, but provided no analysis. Not a useful article for the public at all.

  And they get lumped with a bunch of weirdos!

  ignoring the fact that all but the super jw's had a random stab at hours done in the ministry, with all the different activities the society said counted as ministry hours, just how accurate is there annual report?.

  what activities do you know of that were allowed to be counted as ministry time?

  here are some i knew of.... .

  Reading Captives of a Concept: Interesting what i read in CH3

  by DS211 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  surely jesus would have noticed what they had been teaching about his second coming, or invisible presence as they prefer to call it.

  matthew 24:3 37 .

  today they teach that he returned to begin his second coming in 1914. but the proclaimers book explains that this was not what they were teaching before, during and for many years after jesus' inspection in 1918-1919. on pages 46 and 47 it explains that in 1876... .

  Terrible question, but..... should she have gotten the transplant knowing that death was very likely in case of rejection of the organ without a blood transfusion?

  They really had no right to sue the doctors. Their hands were needlessly tied behind their backs.

  after two months of not coming to my house, today about two hours ago, one of the elders that came two months ago came to my house.

  he was in serve-us with other brothers from the spanish cong and came into my house with a friend of mine (not another elder).

  he said he wanted to talk to me, and he said it in front of my mom and my dad (both were there).. what was interesting is that it seems like it will be a one-on-one for half-hour.

  WT ain't going out of business.

  by joe134cd in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've heard this said in other posts, so now i'm going to combine it in one post.. the $28 million awarded to conti is only drop in the bucket for what they are worth.. there would have to be 100 s of successful sex abuse law suites before they would feel it.

  quite frankly i don't reckon there would be enough with the right circumstances to have a successful case against wt.

  having a dozen or so cases isn't going to break the bank.

  Who is easier to indoctrinate, men or women?

  by kneehighmiah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from purely anecdotal evidence, i believe women are more indoctrinated on average.

  i can openly disagree with the governing body with men and it results in a discussion however, most women i've talked to have immediately shut me down by ending the conversation.

  the only person currently shunning me is a woman.
