  Can Witnesses Do That?

  by Dutchie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this week is spring break for school children and so my kids are home this week.

  while i was at work yesterday some witnesses paid a visit to my home and tried to talk my 14 year old son into having a bible study.

  when my son politely refused, saying that he could not commit to a study without first asking permission of his parents, they told him that they knew many children who had defied their parents to study with the witnesses and come to meetings.

  Do you see many jw's at your door?

  by terafera in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this has probably been addressed before, but.... the other day a philipino man knocked on our door.

  my husband answered it, and a nice elderly man said something in philipino to us, holding a watchtower and awake.

  my husband said we only spoke english, and the old man smiled, said something and left.

  The Watchtower Organisations Controlling Hand

  by Big Jim in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the controlling hand of the watchtower organisation.

  jehovahs witnesses are taught that god has always guided his people by means of an organisation and that, although, in times past, jehovah listened to the prayers of individual worshippers, he provided instruction for them through an organisational arrangement.

  hence, they maintain that with the establishment of the christian congregation (at pentecost 33ce), jehovah had brought into existence an organisation on earth made up of true christians1 and, as christianity spread and congregations were formed, these functioned under the direction of a governing body made up of apostles and older men [and so] today, jehovah deals with his people through an organized body2 and this organisation exists as the modern theocratic organisation of jehovahs witnesses - the watchtower society.3 through their publications, the jehovahs witnesses are led to believe that jehovahs organization alone, in all the earth, is directed by gods holy spirit or active force (zech .4:6) only this organization functions for jehovahs purpose and to his praise.
