How did the Jews find time to do anything meaningful? They were always busy cleansing themselves, sacrificing some poor animal, or celebrating some festival. Busy work!

Abhor Menstruating Women.......Because The FDS say so.
by pronomono inwow.
the insight book has some outlandish reasoning.
i'm trying to put together a talk for tomorrow night, the number 3 on abhorrent things (insight vol 1, p 17) and the entire first half links abhorrent things to menstruating women through a "possible" derived word that might mean uncleaness.

When Camels fly, anachronisms in the Bible
by designs inlittle details in the bible tell us the various authors wrote of past events but used features current to their day.. instruments mentioned in daniel, and recent carbon dating of camels places their domestication around the 10th century bce.
yet genesis says they accompained abraham on his journey.. www.smithsonian.com.

Poor, confused sheepies!
by stillin inas an actively inactive person who attends meetings pretty regularly, i have made an observation that would be comical if it weren't so pathetic.. between the watchtower study and the weekly bible study ( which is actually a book study, but don't tell anyone) i have noticed the witnesses being urged to have love among themselves and reach out to nes who may be weaker or having difficulties.
so, within the next week or two there is a general warming-up toward me, a friendly phone call from my assigned field service group overseer, a hike across the auditorium by the coboe to ask how i'm doing, etc.. then comes the wt article, now and then, that mentions how dangerous bad associations can be, even from among those in the congregation!
(gasp!

Ditto here for me! I went from 'esteemed elder' to a 'truth teller' and for that the brothers and sisters kinda keep their distance.
Ro. 9:1 "I am telling the truth in Christ; I am not lying, since my conscience bears witness with me in holy spirit,"
2 Cor. 4:2 "but we have renounced the underhanded things of which to be ashamed, not walking with cunning, neither adulterating the word of God, but by making the truth manifestrecommending ourselves to every human conscience in the sight of God."
and my very favorite
Galatians 4:16 " Well, then, have I become YOUR enemy because I tell YOU the truth?"

Argument with my Child "Why did I stay in the Organization so long?" Anger and Bitter Feelings.
by RottenRiley inlast night my third oldest child wanted to know why we stayed in the organization so long.
child is a third year college student enjoying all the classes this "wicked system" has to offer, the insatiable appetite for learning makes him want to argue and debate, i don't have the energy to debate because i don't feel good with all life has thrown our way.. .
"the only reason i went to meetings so long was because grandma and grandpa needed somebody to take them to meetings and cobe aunt and uncle and secretary aunt and uncle refused to talk to grandma for years, otherwise i would have stopped attending the kingdom hall because the kids were assholes and i was always the one who had to make "first contact", "i was the one who had to go around and meet and greet newbies while the regular jw wall-flowers (calebs) ignored all the visitors and new persons visiting our kingdom hall.

Yep we all "believed" at one time that this was God's organization. The promises that God (aka gb) made to us about a perfect life in paradise was very seductive. As thos old German man once said "Too bad ve grow olt to zoon and shmart to lade".

The 'inviting work to the DC' is so "publishers" who don't know squat can feel like they did something. You get to "cpunt your time" while calling on empty houses inviting people to travel 80 to 100 miles for a 1 hour talk. Yea that's going to happen!

"The Calendar of Jehovah God"
by cabasilas in1935 saw the brief attempt by jehovah's witnesses to adopt a new calendar freed from any connection to other religions or with names derived from paganism.
the 1935 yearbook published without much explanation a chart showing "jehovah's year of ransom 1903.
" the yearbook said: "a series of articles in explanation will appear in the golden age.

My Explanation of Why They Got it Wrong About Blood Using Only the NWT
by cofty in10 " any israelite or any alien living among them who eats any bloodi will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.
12 therefore i say to the israelites, "none of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.
15 'anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.

Very nicely done Crofty!
Back many years ago when my children were still at home,(circa 1980's) I brought this subject up to a couple of my fellow elders. I often wondered what i would do if faced with a life or death 'blood' issue regarding my children. I mentioned to my fellow elders that since the "only" acceptable use of blood is for sacrifice, to make atonement, why is it that we JW's can have blood withdrawn, from our living bodies, for blood tests to determine if we have some disease or genetic marker? My point was that the laboratory to which "our JW" blood was sent was not going to use it for "atonement" nor pour it out on the ground! Is this not still a legitamate question to ask?
Just saying!

What is with the WT obsession with King David??
by BU2B init seems like at least once a month he is brought up as a good example in the study wt.
it seems like he is given more praise than jesus.
have you noticed this?

I agree that the WTBTS uses David way to much as an example.
To me David personifies the 'very special' treatment that most of the kings of Israel received from Jah. All the kings had multiple wives, were allowed to do things that ordinary Israelites would have been killed for and were still to be honored. Some of the kings were only 7 and 8 years old when they began as king. It really does sound like fairy tales when you think about the kings of Israel. I've noticed that 40 years was the number of years that several kings reigned. Coincidence or fable?
Just saying!
