Newsweek versus the Watchtower?
by Fatfreek inthis from one of 1,367 similar stories that grabbed google's new headlines: "last week at least 16 people in afghanistan were killed in violent clashes sparked by the report.
", all thanks to the recent newsweek reporting blunder.
those of us who love freedom of the press, and i'm included, have to question -- what line was crossed between responsible reporting and that which incites other people toward hate -- hatred enough to kill 16 people?

A decent and viable substitute for the WTS
by greendawn inlet's suppose that a large number of ex jws decided to get together and set up a new religious entity to provide any spiritual benefits, that were provided by the wts but as we all know in an exploitative and destructive way.
in a devious way much bitterness was added to whatever benefit they gave.
what would your suggestions be in the way of forming such an entity?

Field Service is a Farce
by swiftbreeze ini touch on this subject in another post but i felt the need to take it further...back in the day jw's went out in fs but i don't know about today.... i live in a big city....the territory my congregation has is small because there are so many cong.
here.. our bookstudy only had maybe four blocks at the most to work.
my ex husband and i would go to the meetings and hear talk about fs and all the wonderful and experiences and the joy oh joy in being out in the ministry.

Need to give credit to this web site & to Vickie!
by toladest ini did not realize that in my post above about brothers reuniting after 26 years that i failed to mention that it is because of this site that it all happened.. i am scott's wife and i met darrin's common law wife on this board.
neither of us even knew each other existed.
i was talking about dan f and she was here trying to learn more about jw's because of what her man went through as a child.

Is 2034 ''New Light''?
by MidwichCuckoo inbear with me.
over the years jw have always strived after/prophesied (even though they deny this) a carrot ''date''.
as dates come and go, we hear about ''new light'', but according to the wt :-a new view of truth never can contradict a former truth.

Flip flop flips?
by Fatfreek in"about the higher powers of romans 13, jehovah's witnesses taught until 1929 that the superior authorities (new world translation) were the earthly rulers to whom the christian paid taxes, etc.

Lastest ref to Motherly Organization?
by Fatfreek inif we are to walk in the light of truth we must recognize not only jehovah god as our father but his organization as our mother.
--the watchtower, may 1, 1990, page 274.. i just found that at one site but the date looks suspect.
i think it's based on a 1957 wt.
