Watchtower misquotes really make me mad !
by BluesBrother inthe feb 1st wt has a banner headline on the cover "must we always tell the truth" - inside it says (p1) "' i hate lies and i hate being lied to" exclaimed a 16 year old girl" ... so , o.k.
we must expect that anyone printing such things must themselves be absolutely honest and truthful .. so why do they use misleading quotations that are, practice, nothing short of lies?
many have been documented but this one came my way recently while using another thread .. the book "let your kingdom come" has an appendix dealing with babylonian and jewish chronology .

The Two Faces of a JW
by Nosferatu init always amazed me how jws can have almost two different personalities.
it's not quite like having a double life, but it's the hypocricy of jws themselves.. i remember going to those meetings and seeing everyone with their plastic smiles, as if they were the greatest people in the world.
but you lift the curtain of their home lives, and their true personalities come out.. my mother was an entirely different person at the meetings.

Really old light
by still wondering indoes anyone remember these golden oldies?.
president kennedy was assassinated because he was a good man, "he didnt fit satans book", this was the societys view according to those who had inside information.
i'm not sure how long that view persisted, probably until the first tv documentary on his life.. the berlin wall fell because jehovah decided it was now time to open up the work behind the iron curtain.

Luke 23:43 the NWT
by Ade inluke 23:43 - and jesus said to him, "positively i say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.
nwt places comma here , giving a totally different meaning to the verse.
now the average jw uses this to back their doctrine and it seems in itself virtually impossible to reason with them on it.

no longer disfellowshipped for having a blood transfusion
by still wondering in.
can anyone help me in finding any statements made by the wtbs in any of their publications to confirm this change or even just the original news release which i understand was on their official website but i now can't find any reference to it.. is this a case of having one policy for public consumption to improve their public image but the another policy for internal consumption to give the impression that things hav'nt changed?.
it appears that the majority of jw do not know of the change in policy.

One person got baptized at Circuit Ass. today (powerhouse circuit)
by thecarpenter injust got a call from a friend who told me only one person got baptized today in a ciruit assembly in nyc.
this is in a powerhouse circuit that had tremendous growth 10~20 years ago but is now seeing a steady decline to the point that congregations are starting to merge because so many are leaving.
what could be the cause of this decline?
