  NEW LIGHT ON THE 144,000 EXPLAINED

  by raymond frantz in

  the watchtower’s approach to "new light" is, frankly, a masterclass in manipulation.

  when they introduce a new interpretation or change their teachings, it's presented as a revelation, showcasing just how guided and spiritually in-tune the governing body is.

  Mass formation control and the Organization

  by truthseeker in

  mass formation control.

  most of the changes in the organization have been doctrinal and as a rule jws would not openly discuss these for fear of being labeled an apostate.

  examples include overlapping generations and types and antitypes.

  Ages of each user here?

  by ukpimo in

  i'm interested to know the age demographics here.

  it must be significantly different to other exjw forums.

  it would be a damning report for watchtower if most of us appear to have left for decades.. you don't have to mention your exact age, you could always say "in my 50s".. i am in my 70s.

  Separate Identity, vol 3

  by vienne in

  some of you have read the first two volumes of schulz and de vienne's separate identity series recounting the watch tower's early years.

  uncle b is working steadily on volume three, the last in the series despite declining health.

  a few rough draft paragraphs of chapter three are up on his blog.

  JWs obtaining fake degrees from a US institution to teach English as a foreign language

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  teaching english as a foreign language in asian countries is quite popular for those looking to travel and explore and make some money.

  if you have the tefl qualification you're pretty much good to go and don't need a degree.i don't know how lucrative these overseas jobs are but i do know one jw from my congregation in england who decided to move to the caribbean and teach english as a foreign language.

  i'm not knocking this individual.

  the september watchtower has already been released and is being discussed over on reddit.

  some highlights: .

  1. more hitting the flock on total reliance and obedience to god's representatives on earth today, the f&ds (the governing body, of course).
