i’ve been lurking on here for four or so years, enjoying the debates and experiences of all of you.

This Forum is used by Bethel rodents to address member doubts in future magazine studies
by Tenacious indon't you find it interesting how some topics and explanations on this board are sometimes addressed in magazine studies?.
for example, i remember commenting (i'm sure it had been mentioned many times before) not too long ago about how the organization uses the "spirit led" phrase in their baptism question.
and this naturally tells members they are indeed claiming divine guidance.

Desensitized by the Bible
by jws ini have an old friend who grew up jw in my original congregation and is now on his latest wife.
unlike the somewhat religious ambivalence of his previous wives, this one he says is right on par with his religious view.
which is very conservative christian.lately, his wife posted on facebook about the horrible things in the world and the roll media takes in desensitizing us.

International convention
by Gorbatchov inthis week i see many jw going over the top and beat their (sometimes medical) limits for the convention preparation with music, ethnic cloats and greeting costumes.. my jw grandparents will turn in their grave.. my opinion is that the jw organization has given their blessing at it because of "give them bread and games".
it keeps the rank and file busy.. what i don't get is that the oldtimers accept all these changes.

The suffering and anguish that “NEW LIGHT’ has caused.
by I believe in overlapping inthe watchtower paints new light as a blessing from jehovah.
they have convinced the members that the way jehovah works is that he reveals information in small spurts of truth.
and little by little the path of all those following the instructions becomes clearer and clearer.
