Gig,
If you are going to burn them, don't. And if you can't find any use for them, I'll give you my mailing address and you can send them to me! I've been trying to get ahold of some WT pubs. I would gladly accept them!

which watchtower teachings lack logic?.
i know you're all tempted to say all of them, but some beliefs if the facts were true, would be logical.. which ones that are supposed to be a logical consequence of a true fact are in fact not logical whether the fact is true or not?.
for an example of logical belief based on untrue or unprovable fact , if god created adam and all humans came from him,(supposed fact) he could pass on defects in his genes to all humans and we could all be "imperfect".this we could call logical.. a watchtower belief that lacks logic is for example jw's who go through armageddon or die and are ressurected to earth are not perfect but still have another test to go through, yet those who die and that go to heaven are perfect straight away and require no further testing.. so which teachings are based on beliefs that are not true and which ones are just not logical?
Skeptic,
You make some excellent points. I would like to say "I especially like ........" but since they are all excellent points, I can't pick.
Happy New Year Everyone!!!

what are some of the stupidest comments made in the watchtower, or by a circuit overseer or elder that you've never forgotten?
the one about" the rapist being human" too, ranks right up there....like we're supposed to feel bad for him?
" Why not believe in Jehovah? At least if he does exist you'll be saved. It's just safer."
HAHA! ridiculous
christians should all honestly and thoroughly investigate the contradictions between the old and new testaments in terms of the descriptions of god.. .
the god of the new testament is described as a god of love, mercy and peace.. .
the god of the old testament is described as jealous, vengeful god, a war-monger.
I think you're missing the sarcasm UnDF'ed

Attention! It has recently been discovered that Jehovah is homosexual! How do we know this? Read on to have your life forever changed!
We know this because numerous passages in the Bible suggest it.
1) When God created Eve, he was well aware that she would fall victim to Satan. This was because he intentionally created her inferior to Adam. Why you ask? He wanted men to be supreme so that his lover would be great, like him. (God also wanted a Human lover...to be discussed in future article.) This is the first passage that reveals God's sexuality!
2)God was ashamed of being gay, and that is why he condemned the homosexuals; he was trying to hide his own gayness!
3)God made priests male so that all those closest to him would be a sexual prospect!
Do not overlook the plain facts people! God is gay. Accept it! We know for certain! You wouldn't question the superior authorities would you?
i was just wondering what some people's favorite scriptures are.
one of my favorites is .
matthew 7:1-5 .
I was just wondering what some people's favorite scriptures are. One of my favorites is
Matthew 7:1-5
1 "Do not judge so that you will not be judged.
2 "For in the way you judge, you will be judged;and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.
3 "Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, bu do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
4 "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is inyour own eye?
5 "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."
I like these verses because IMO they are very wise passages, and also these really apply the WT.

after a year of doubting if i would ever be free from feeling ties to the wt, i am proud to be known as an apostate.
before i was so concerned with what some of the "friends" , would think of me, how they would think the worst of me for being an apostate.
now i hope they do think about me,,,,,,,, i hope they know i want nothing to do with most of them.
Which I told the elders "well then every JW that has kept up with 'present truth' and 'new light' is an apostate (big chessy grin)" they were all stunned, so one said well lets see what Websters says, so he went and got a 'worldly' source for the definiton bwwahahhahahahahah.
hahaha That hilarious VeniceIT. I'll have to pose the same question to the next dub who shows up here at my door.
my most painful confession
note to simon: i will use some expletives, but i hope that they will be retained as this is intended to be an otherwise civil and thoughtful post to all my fellow ex-jws.
please read on, as this is most painful.
Jim,
