  i was a jw about 15 years ago and have been reading these forums for a while.

  it took a long time to get over the fear of armageddon for sure.

  my 18 year old is still a jw (we live at opposit ends of the world) and i have found your information really useful as i am preparing some kind of telephone 'presentation', as it were, regarding jw beliefs and the difference between jw and the other christian churches and what the message of jesus was.

  jehovah's witnesses are jehovah witnesses going to receive new light on their most controversial doctrine?

  apparently there is a legal binding document posted with the european commission of human rights.

  go to their website:http://194-250.50.201/eng/e276info.148.html watchtowers application 28626/95.they made this statement,"the applicant undertook with regard to its stance on blood transfusions... that members should have free choice...without any control or sanction on the part of the association.

  The Pope & the Watchtower Org.

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when we were jw's , we taught people door to door that the pope made himself mediator between men and god.

  "mathew 23:10".

  but now the watchtower does the same thing by telling the great crowd that jesus is not their mediator.

  Gifts of the Spirit

  by Mandybp in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .

  if i remember rightly the witnesses believe that the gifts of the spirit are not available to them and haven't been since the apostles.. i'm just wondering because jesus placed so much emphasis on healing - it's interesting that the witnesses never mention it (as far as i can remember)
