God's Name?
by seeking_truth in
1. watchtower
2. bible
another question for everyone.

i have read through some of the threads, posts or whatever and even though there is a sense of disagreement over witnesses and the society, their way of handling the words of the bible.

i was curious to know if anyone does believe jehovah is his name?

Ok, I Need to Yap Some More...

one thing that always confused me in the watchtower was the meaning of the covenant.

i have come to believe the reason for my confusion is that the watchtower is actually lost in this area (well duh!).

their false teaching of the covenant has led to a house of cards.

Have you forgotten what the WTS taught?

we remember things such as telling us how to dress, not celebrating holidays, paradise on earth etc.. but what about the deeper teachings?

especially those of you who now follow another religion.

there was so much garbage taught, especially in regards to revelation and things like that.

1914 Generation
by starfish422 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
was just reading on freeminds; was asked by a mormon poster on another board, to give a brief history of jw organization and i came across the following (here is the link: http://www.freeminds.org/history/5_eras.htm ):.

"finally throw out their "1914 generation" teaching with the october 15 and november 1st, 1995 issues of the watchtower, which was one of their main playing cards.

but simon says, "it's no thang," while older witnesses know better.

.

i know many like myself have had alot of different experiances and have met many different people since leaving the jw's.my question is do you think you knew or found people to be more intelligent in the organization or have you found people to be more stimulating and intelligent outside the organization, setting aside the fact that the people in the organization are apart of it?

i'm just curious as to peoples experiances.

Bashing JW's?. Why not bash Christianity instead?
by anti-absolutism in
1. jw
2. friends
i've read a lot of things on this and other web sites that condemn jw's, and i agree that jw's have a huge spiritual awakening coming to them, but i think christianity as a whole has that coming to them.. people have compared what they see in the jw org.

to the inquisition for example.

i agree, but have they forgotten that the inquisition and many other evil things have transpired during so-called christianity.
