  New Revelation Book

  by daniel-p in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, it's not big news, but there will be a new revelation book coming out.

  it is already published and sitting in the wallkill warehouses.

  makes me think why they are giving out dozens of corrections first, and shipping the new book later?

  The Gentiles Times Reconsidered--Again but this Time By Using the Bible

  by thirdwitness in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  think about this: if seven times mean only 7 years then daniel could have simply said 7 years.

  why does daniel specifically use the word 'times' rather than years?

  as we have already shown daniel used the word for 7 times instead of 7 years.

  Blood Doctrine - JW please answer

  by golden age in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why are jws so against blood transfustions, do they not see that this is exactly the oppositie of what jesus taught.

  jesus taught that healing was allowed on the sabath, even though if violated the rule of not working on the sabath, he was teaching that in the event of an emergency life is more important than the law.

  how would a jw feel if a loved one died and then 2 months later the wt said new light told them that transfusions are ok. (do not say this will not happen, becasue they originally said vaccinations were a direct violation of the everlasting covenant with god and must be avoided, now they say vaccines are good.

  Do you think a JW childhood is abusive?

  by Konrad West in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i had a long discussion the other day with my new flatmate, who it turns out has studied with jws and thinks they're wonderful, about my view that being raised a jw is psychologically abusive.

  being indoctrinated with the concept of jehovah killing people who don't do what he says and being scared of losing your friends and family if disobedient is, in my view, a very unhealthy thing for a child.

  any thoughts?
