  Is the WTS slowly turning into a mainstream religion?

  by obiwan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i took this off of xjw_b12's thread.

  (hope you don't mind).

  "when considering whether to include a pinata at a social gathering, christians should be sensitive to the consciences of others.

  However, I don't see them ever being "mainstream". Their main doctrine excludes Jesus as God,

  Strange -- that is the one thing that will keep me as a witness

  Will the Internet bring down the watchtower Bible and Tract Society

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the united states i keep hearing about how nobody sees the witness is going door-to-door and more, or at least not as often as they used to.

  i also heard a report from england recently which stated to the same effect.. what do you think?

  do you think the internet is the watchtower society's worst nightmare?.

  I do not want the society brought down by the internet or anything else -- I just want massive change --apologies for all the needlessly lost lives -- e.g. the blood issue. I also want them to allow Christian Freedom -- freedom of choice etc on waht we can read or watch or talk to without fear of being disfellowshipped-- and disfellowshipping to be completely adjusted -- d/fing should be an absolute last resort for somebody who continues to go in a course contrary to what the scriptures say -- and finally for all CO/DO/Elders/ Branch Committee to get off their power trip.

  However , perhaps they need bringing down because change willn ot happen unless --- I think I am being naive

  Clinton Lied (What Did He Know and When Did He Know It)

  by Yerusalyim in

  1. social
  2. current

  i'm sure this will not come as a shock to most of you...but clinton was an accomplished liar...problem is...bush is getting the blame for something that clearly started under clinton...and early...the recession.

  wonder why this didn't get more press?.

  What was God thinking when he created Apes?

  by Latin assassin from Manhattan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  god created apes, a two legged mammal that can looks, thinks, communicates, shows emotion, and almost walks like a human.

  and we're supposed to believe they're not distant cousins?

  is this god's idea of a sick joke?

  by berylblue in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  which songs do all of you over 40 feel are must-listens for those of every age?

  conversely, i really would like to know what the younger ones here think are the must -hear songs for every generation.

  without my daughters in my life, i don't get to hear the better offerings of the new artists.

  Anyone know exBethelites Who Went Off the Deep End?

  by willyloman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this was inspired by seven006's fascinating series on his consulting trip to bethel.

  wonder if anyone else has a story like this to tell?

  my first memory of questioning whether the revered bethel experience might be somewhat less than what was advertised was:.
