  WT's Crazed Obsession!

  by JW GoneBad in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have recently read for the umpteenth time the 4 gospel accounts.

  what caught my attention this time around was how many times jesus makes mention of the endeared expression father (with f in caps) when referring to his god as recorded by matthew, mark, luke and john.. what was also interesting by comparison is how little jesus actually makes reference to his father on a first name basis (jehovah) in these four books.. note my findings with the help of the comprehensive concordance:.

  jehovah: matthew 11 times mark 8 times luke 26 times john 4 times (total 49 times).. father: mathew 43 times mark 4 times luke 21 times john 119 times (total 187 times).. .

  Yes I would like to see the source of any critical reviews of the NWT. Not that any JW would keep reading once they saw it was critical.

  i would recommend 6x9 and ebook.

  as others have mentioned, ebook is extremely helpful to those faders that cant hide a real book easily from spouse/parents/ect

  Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word For The WTBTS To Say!

  by JW GoneBad in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  sorry to raymond and cynthia franz for expelling them on trumped-up charges and forcing them from there bethel home.. sorry for demonizing many of raymond's accomplishmets, such as 'the aid to bible understanding' (the blue book) that he had a hand in putting together and that too many old timers remember who grew fond of reading to expand their bible knowledge.. sorry to oompa for disfellowshipping him and causing him to be shunned to the point where he couldn't take it any longer and wound up taking his own life.

  .

  sorry seems to be the hardest word for the wtbts to say!.

  Sorry that we find ways to take away nearly everything you have worked for in your life, and then remind you that they were being merciful, and that in bible times they may have had to stone you.

  the [catholic] hierarchys excommunication .

  is altogether foreign to bible teachings.. .

  the encyclopedia britannica says that papal excommunication is not without pagan influence.

  Why do the GB need a new Bethel compound if the end is so close? Here is the "official" answer

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as most of us know, the society is spending 10's of millions of dollars on a giant, state of the art, secluded bunker country club headquarters in very remote, isolated warwick ny.. the question that "some" have is, why?

  if armageddon is coming "very soon", why go to all that time & effort & expense?

  why have thousands of jws dedicating their time to this massive effort instead of the "lifesaving ministry"?.

  slimboy, i felt that way at first, although i was disapointed as a bethelite at the time to learn of it, but it didnt really shake me. Later, when I read a positive article they wrote about the UN in the Awake! magazine, while trashing it in talks and other publications, realizing they said it was to gain access to this "library" it seemed like much more than just a library card.

  I am sorry for your loss, my great grandmother had alzheimers for many years, she lived to be over 100. I felt so sad for her growing up, watching her with that disease. Hopefully science can progress more so future generations can eliminate it.
