  Why would they mention the 'old light'?

  by Captain Blithering in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i don't get why they opened the article 'when will these things be' by using old old light not believed since the late 60's?

  .

  seems a bit idiotic to draw attention to past mistakes that are long forgotten in the minds of the r&f, as opposed to stuff that is fairly recent that has warranted 're-examination'.

  Feedback from study of JUL 15 WT - Tell Us WHEN Will These Things Be

  by konceptual99 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just got back from meeting.

  the study today was as expected.

  a combination of simple acceptance, formulaic research and mistakes.. there are clearly many who cannot read a reference (to the wt 95) regarding the sheep and the goats and consider the repetition of the the understanding of the timing of the judging as new light.

  The reason why Jehovah's Witnesses are not false prophets

  by 70wksfyrs in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this weeks km disscusses the topic of why jehovah's witnesses are not false prophets.. on page 136 and 137 of the reasoning book, it asks and answers the following question:.

  have not jehovahs witnesses made errors in their teachings?.

  jehovahs witnesses do not claim to be inspired prophets.

  Regrets for knowing the TATT? Strange feeling overcoming...

  by BluePill2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  today is a strange day.. i have been out of the borg for a while now.

  some years have passed and i thoroughly enjoy the freedom, not having to bend my mind and rape my soul to force myself to do and say things that i don't feel or believe.

  i started my own business, got a wonderful girlfriend and made some friends (that are not monsters like the wt$ likes to portray others).. my parents, siblings, brothers-in-law, cousins, aunts, uncles, ex-wife, "friends" and my daughter, have cut their contact to me.

  Integrity over living a lie....

  by Happier in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hey to everyone here... so i have never been one for writing much of my feelings down for other people to see.

  this however has become so important to me and i may be able to help someone who dares go looking for answers some place other than the jw.org website.

  first of all i would like to thank anybody and everybody who had the courage enough to write their experience in the organisation.

  I have no honor

  by bohm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it occured to me on my way to work this morning that the concept of honor is rather silly at best, and more often quite dangerous if you really believe you have it.. think about it, what good is honor supposed to do?.

  right of the bat we can all name a number of really stupid things which are associated with honor: honor killings, for instance, where a member of the family is murdered for insulting the families honor (you wonder how the honor ever actually tells people it has been offended), or duels which was a sport between aristocrats.

  then there is the honor of dead people which can linger on for centuries, a certain prophet comes to mind, and it seems even dead objects like flags, banners, documents or nations can have honor which can be invoked to kill or maim others.. what are the legitimate invocation of honor as a reason to act a certain way?

  Hello..this is my story..

  by Lozhasleft in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm pleased to have found this site...i've browsed a little ...read quite a lot and gasped at some stories, giggled at the one liners and nodded in recognition of others' strong opinions and can relate to a great deal.. i'll try and keep my intro as brief as possible for anyone kind enough to listen.. i got involved with the witnesses in the late 70's in the uk.

  i was in my early 20s and had had a love and fascination for the bible since my difficult childhood.

  i soon brought my life into 'line' although it took a long time for me to pack up the smoking which didnt go down well in those days when 6 months of study should have been enough and if you hadnt cracked it then it was suggested that you were some kind of loser.... i reared my 4 children in the 'truth' as well as i could but i cant claim that we were a 'strong' family in their terms...just muddled along really..my husband at the time was a very difficult and abusive man and home life wasnt easy for any of us with his anger, jealousy and violence.
