  Can a J-Dub conduct a Bible study without a WTS publication?

  by Latin assassin from Manhattan in

  if j-dubs claim to be the authority on bible literacy and teaching, then why can't they conduct a bible study or preach without a wts publication?

  if i claimed to be an authority on shakespeare during a conversation with a friend, would i pull out a book written by someone else that explained it?

  how does that prove that i understand shakespeares work?

  Let Us Create A True Religion...

  2. beliefs

  the wts feels that they are the true religion because they place tons of literature based on their own interpretations and because they show true christian love for one another.

  this forum is testimony to the validity of their cause so i won't bother to repeat the obvious.

  but if a true religion were to exist, i belive it shoud be based on the following:

  Is the Watchtower's idea of preaching what Jesus had in mind?

  by Latin assassin from Manhattan in

  2. beliefs

  what kind of preaching was jesus talking about in mathew 24:14?

  it seems to me that jesus wanted christians to preach the hope of the resurrection to mankind.

  nowhere in the bible, does it say that christians were to preach their own interpretation of bible prophecy as the wts does today.

  Does The WTS Have The Right To Interpret The Bible For Mankind?

  by Latin assassin from Manhattan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if the apostles, who were closest to jesus and chosen by him, never wrote their own interpretation of the old testament, why does the wts feel they can interpret the entire bible and still get it wrong so often?

  if in fact, there was a governing body for christians back in the 1st century, why didn't they go about interpreting daniel's prophecies the way the current gb does today?

  if the 1st century christians were god's chosen people, why didn't they go from door to door placing scrolls filled with bible interpretations?

  Did God Create Dinosaurs Or UFOs?

  by Latin assassin from Manhattan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember at a district convention in yankee stadium back in the 80's where the district overseer mentioned the possibility of one day being able to share the universe "with other creations of jehovah" as he put it.

  it definitely got everyone's attention because he even went so far as to say that perhaps ufos are a creation of jehovah, but we haven't been told of their purpose.

  when i heard that i nearly choked on my jw-hoagie.

  is it possible that the wts comes out with 'new light' in order to hide a secret truth within the higher ranks of its organization?

  Class Distinction Within The JW Community?

  by Latin assassin from Manhattan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone noticed that jws who appear to be higher up on the 'socio-economic' ladder get special treatment at the kh?

  no matter how many khs i've visited, i've noticed that jws who are not well off socially/financially/physically are treated with less respect/dignity than those with a business of their own, or just a higher quality of life.

  i've been to many 'gatherings' where jws filter themselves out according to race or socio-economic standing.

  Do JW couples really have better relationships?

  by Latin assassin from Manhattan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  are jw marriages any better than the ones 'in the world' as they put it?

  when they walk from door to door or mingle after a meeting they appear to be models of ideal marriages.

  do you have any experiences with married couples in the 'truth'?

  What Is God's Real Name?

  by Latin assassin from Manhattan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if your name is mike, would you translate it to swahili, korean or russian?

  american presidents never translate their names and they're the most powerful men on the planet.

  is it possible that god's name is in fact, a hebrew name and that jws don't want to use this name because it will not bring in converts?
