  Watchtower DOGMA, the rejection of the Christian foundation

  by Separation of Powers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the word dogma is defined as "a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.".

  i began comparative religious studies several years ago, in fact, i am currently attending school with the desire to acquire my degree in this discipline.

  while studying the buddhist belief system, i realized how similar the jw's were in their evolution to every other religion.

  ISoCF by Ray covers this very nicely. A bit tedious but thoroughly convincing.

  How much more strange can this get ?

  ladt night i was talking to a coworker who's sister is a witness in my old hall, and i needed some asprin after listening to this.. how can this be tolerated by people who believe that they alone speak the truth ?.

  a young couple ( early 30's) had two children, and they adopted another boy from the inner city, so they have three boys under the age of 13.. the father is a construction worker, and mom works pt doing various jobs.. as a babysitter they use the respected teenaged son of a very prominent elder.

  well, the parents breakup.

  Know of a brother/good friend of mine that lives in Missouri and attends a congregation with his wife and his 2 ex-wives. They are all friends. He's a brother in 'good standing'.

  Yea, kinda of strange that things that most normal people in this world today would consider immoral and sadistic are NOT comdemned in the Bible.

  Things like ethenic cleansing or genocide. --God commanded it. Slavery----- the Bible never condemns it and even talks nice about it. Polygamy-- it was ok for the Kings of Israel and only those who were "reaching out" needed to be husband to one wife. Okay to screw another mans wife if you are the king! So much sh***t in the Bib;e that don't jive.

  another thread made me remember hearing rumors of books of witchcraft and such found in if not the main library a restricted library at bethel, for research purposes.

  i wonder if anyone here had seen those first hand and if so, what exactly were the names of the books?

  When an organization is started by a man that believes the Great Pyrmaid of Giza is "God's word written in stone" and there is such a thing as "miracle wheat", wouldn't you expect books on magic, witchcraft, and vodoo in the WTBTS library?

  It was the invisible Armageddon of 1918 when Rutherford and his 'boys' went to prison. You know, right after the invisible presence of Jesus in1914. Can't argue with something that's invisible.

  am i the only one that finds it funny that the organization's campaign this month is to offer a printed magazine that is simply an ad for a website?

  what's more is they have printed close to 50 mil copies which will be delivered by an army of volunteers who drive minivans and knock on the doors of empty houses repeatedly until they find someone at home...... can you imagine facebook going door to door to spread the word about how awesome their site is?.

  1963-1965 Monday night ice skating in Pasadena in So Cal. Ladies got in free on Mondays. Got to meet other JW's from different congos. Great fun and nice to meet girls not in your cong. Just clean fun without WT supervision. Part of the good times I had as a young JW.

  Anyone Can be baptised - Can't they?

  by tim hooper in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does a new convert have to be approved for baptism by the elders or someone similar i wonder?.

  years ago, at a circuit assembly, i came across a young man whose jw father had thrown him out of the family home because of his abusiveness.

  he'd got nowhere to go so he travelled south and finished up attending our local assembly.

  Wonder why the first century Christians didn't need to be vetted with 100 questions before they got baptized? Their baptism was probably 'invalid'. Maybe that's the reason there was no "faithful and discreet slave" class until 1919.
