  i hope someone can give me a quick answer to this question.

  the 1974 yearbook of jehovah's witnesses tells the story of the movement in germany with much detail about experiences witnesses had during the years of the third reich.

  one of the stories was about life in the dachau concentration camp when it was under the command of a man nicknamed "foursquare.

  i mention a few

  they dont kill eachother in wars

  they dont give in to authorian regimes

  they are united , are taught the same and act the same everywhere on this planet

  they help eachother in times and situation of need

  they give you their stuff and time for free

  they are extremily organised

  they are honest (for example at circuit assemblies i always leave my bag with photo and video camera, my tablet and wallet at my seat and that impressed the interested ones that accompany me to those meetings)

  everyone is equal

  What is the main "idea" of the bible?

  by KateWild in

  2. bible

  as jws we were often told what the theme of the bible is, we were taught that it was the promised seed.. i was recently asked the question.... what is the main "idea" of the bible?.

  for me the whole purpose of the bible is about control.

  it features a god that punishes and rewards.

  the main idea of the bible is to give an explanation for the world around us , as it is. Besides that it gives us hope that something better will be put in place someday and tells us how we can become part of that.

  Is it all about the money?

  by Laika in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  often on this forum there are posts about how the gb are obsessed with money and some people here often suggest this impacts every decision the gb makes i.e.

  on my holiday thread it was suggested jws aren't allowed to celebrate holidays as it means spending money on presents that they want for themselves.. i however, do not think this is at all true.

  the society rarely talks about money and as a percentage of income i think the vast majority of jws contribute a very small amount simply because the society rarely talk about it.. obviously money is important to the society in the sense that they couldn't run a major organisation without it, so they have to ask for it at times and factor it in to some of their decision making, but actually the gb live quite frugally and seem to worry much more about clinging to their authority and power than getting rich.. my controversial suggestion of the day is that saying the gb are obsessed with money must make us look silly to lurkers.. what does the jwn intellegentsia think then?.

  i remember when i was a kid going on vacation somewhere with my family, my parents would always have to find out where the local kingdom hall was.

  god forbid we should miss a meeting because we were actually enjoying our time away from work and school..

  Tablets are not only used to show the 'study the bible vid' , tablets are used to show the website (and demonstrate what can be downloaded there) and a lot of different videos as well as videos in sign language.
