  It really is not used much. There was talk about even tearing it down or repurposing it somehow. It still is in very good shape although it was built in 1991.

  JW renaming things: "It's Not this, it's ....."

  by Muddy Waters in

  1. watchtower

  this was brought up in another thread, but i thought it should have its own thread.

  feel free to add your own observations and experience.

  the jws are so duplicit, and they rename things to somehow justify their own irrationalities.

  It's not a sermon, it's a talk.

  I was at Cleveland, and I didn't see as many beards as I thought I would, 6 or 7 maybe.

  is it possible to keep a somewhat relationship with your family if they are witnesses and have a "worldly" girlfriend?

  i just posted a post, and found this site to be very helpful.

  sorry to repost but my other thread brought up some other questions.

  @ whatisthis12:

  You need to think long and hard about your boyfriend. It seems like he is not being completely honest with you or himself. Please don’t set yourself up for heartbreak!

  by whatisthis12 in

  2. relationships

  i have been dating my boyfriend for almost a year now.

  when i met him i had no idea that he was a jehovah witness.

  we took a vacation and he lied to his parents about who he was with, and they ended up finding out not only that he way lying, but who i was.

  @ whatisthis12:

  It seems to me that he should have opened up to you about being an ex-jdub sooner than he did. That in of itself should give you pause.

  Why Are More JWs Claiming to be Anointed?

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  most jws i know claim they are happy being in the great crowd.

  they'd rather live on a paradise earth and pet lions than go to heaven.. heaven is a place they can't relate to, a place where they don't expect their friends and loved ones to be.. so why are more and more jws claiming to be of the anointed?.

  aren't they looked down upon as if they are crazy, proud, ignorant, or engaging in apostate thinking?.

  Not that it matters, but the only anointed making the decisions are 7 or 8 guys in Brooklyn Warwick.

  Watchtower Doctrines JWs most commonly don't believe

  by Diogenesister in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there was a recent thread on another site where posters maintained that many of the *most* long-standing jw's don't believe at least one official watchtower doctrine.

  i've even read reports from bethelites saying they've heard bethel overseers say they don't believe some watchtower theology.

  this made me think - i believe there are a few official doctrines that are common for many jw's to be either in denial about or simply not really believe ( often one and the same thing).. i'd say these are pretty high in the ranking:.

  You can have a beard, but you can't.
