the toronto globe and mail did a survey, asking if jws should be required to get a permit to go door to door.

73% said yes: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/gis.servlets.page/document/polls/pollresults?id=19187&pollid=19187&save=_save&show_vote_always=no&poll=gamfront&hub=front&subhub=voteresult.

good morning everybody:.

i have been doing some more investigating, and found that the reason that k-mart is closing down, is because the watchtower has opened it's doors.

A good question to make JWs 'think'
by Simon in
1. jw

most of us have experienced the frustration of trying to convince a friend or relative that the wts is not what it claims: an organisation backed by 'god'.. of course, it is very difficult to prove a negative and a real die-hard believer will explain-away any evidence of wrongdoing by the org.

as they are trained to do so well.. i have found it good to reverse the question and ask them:.

"what would the wts have to do to convince you that it wasn't god's organisation?".

ON MARCH 26,1918 SATAN WAS HURLED DOWN TO THE EART
by minimus in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
according to the your will be done book ..."there is scriptural reason to believe that by the time of the annual celebration of the lord's evening meal on march 26, 1918, satan the devil was hurled down to the earth.

"now this must have been quite the war, since we are taught that by october 1 or 2 1914, satan was waging war with michael and he was thrown to the vicinity of the earth.

that is why since 1914 we have such a short time left.....how do they get these crazy dates and how can people believe this if they really think about it?

Who Pays The Ferryman....?

french philosopher blaise pascal once noted, "men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.

" a case study for this statement can clearly be evidenced by the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.. the gb present themselves as lovers of truth and righteousness who are the only persons on this planet who speak for god.

this doctrine is at the very core of the beliefs of jehovahs witnesses and is one of the few that cannot be rationalized away by wts apologists.
