  Oh, Schizm! (Daniel 11:35)

  by AuldSoul in

  schizm: here's something for you to consider, which you will no doubt disagree with, but that shows that the wts will refine its thinking on these issues:

  and some of those having insight will be made to stumble, in order to do a refining work because of them and to do a cleansing and to do a whitening, until the time of [the] end; because it is yet for the time appointed.

  no longer disfellowshipped for having a blood transfusion

  by still wondering in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  .

  can anyone help me in finding any statements made by the wtbs in any of their publications to confirm this change or even just the original news release which i understand was on their official website but i now can't find any reference to it.. is this a case of having one policy for public consumption to improve their public image but the another policy for internal consumption to give the impression that things hav'nt changed?.

  it appears that the majority of jw do not know of the change in policy.

  Cano Is The Tip Of the Iceberg

  by metatron in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  is the watchtower organization filled with child molesters?

  maybe not - but the cano incident should make us think about an allied problem,.

  namely, general corruption and rot.. many years ago, it was not unknown to find strange photos and other materials in a bethel brother's room, after he died unexpectedly.. that doesn't prove that there is a massive problem with child molestation.

  i attempted to verify the quote by referring to the society's library, which i possess.

  in fact i posess the 1997, 2004, and 2005 libraries.

  WHAT DOES THE WORD...."SOON"....MEAN???

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the watchtower magazine has used the word "soon" on many an occasion to point out to its readership how near armageddon really is.. a word that can mean anything, in effect, actually means nothing.

  consequently, let's examine what "soon" actually means by definition and use.. there can only be three stages of time:.

  wouldn't you agree with that?

  with two thirds of my sentence complete, i am almost ready for parole.. there was some unbelievable stuff said today - i think there must be some sort of hallucinogenic gas coming through the ac, because no one batted an eyelid over what was said from the platform.. as usual, i will highlight the main talks.. .

  Does the Rainbow Covenant Disprove the Flood?

  by Severus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the story goes that god provided the rainbow as a symbol of his promise to never again destroy the world by flood.. noah and his family saw the rainbow after they left the ark.

  after the waters had receeded.

  after it had stopped raining for months.... yet a rainbow is simply sunlight spread out into its spectrum of colors and diverted to the eye of the observer by water droplets.

  Did you know of any JW's brothers that were "wife beaters"? Were they DF'd?

  years ago when i was attending my old kh there was an elder that was very stern.

  bro glen(not his real name) used to be very firm in telling students about their talks not being good, or where they needed to improve.

  i know i was "terrified" of bro glen.

  Armageddon, Inc (1940) - The last critical article there was on JWs!

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  "armageddon, inc" was an article published in the september 14, 1940 issue of the saturday evening post.. it was written by stanley high and was a critical review of the jehovah's witness religion as it was then.. this was 65 years ago, and i do not know of _any_ articles since then that have been published in a major magazine that attempt to analyze or examine the jehovah's witnesses!.

  there have been many articles published over the years about jws, particularly when conventions are being held in a town.

  the local papers will usually do stories about them.
