Revelation Book Vs Finished Mystery
by seek2find in
1. jw
2. friends
with the upcomming study of the revelation book aproaching, i was wondering if anyone here knows of a place where i can get a side by side comparision of the revelation climax book with the seventh volume of studies in the scriptures to see the differences.

both are verse by verse discussions and a comparision would be helpfull to see the changes that have taken place over the last 90 or so years.

it might be helpfull to point others (family)away from the orginazation and to the real source of truth.

Double Standards
by seek2find in
1. jw
2. friends
hi all, i've been thinking a lot lately about the chapter in coc where ray is talking about double standards and was wondering how many exist in the organization today.

one, that i've noticed is that employment issues seemed to be addressed differently depending on which congergation you are in.

for instance, in a congregation in one city, a brother might be removed from a position if he goes to work for a fire department or ems service because the shift work would require missing to many meetings, where as in another congergation you may have a respected elder that has such employment and everything is cool.

What about the Children?
by seek2find in
1. jw
2. friends
something that's really been eating at me latley is how during my growing up in the orginazation and now my childrens growing up in it, nothing has been done on an organizational level to benifit the children.

why has there never been any organizational focus on the need for congregations to sponsor activities for young people.

many churches and church groups have extensive ministrys to reach young people.
