JW's who only stay for social reasons are serving out of wrong motives
by yadda yadda 2 inwe know that many jw's are very disillusioned and would probably love to step sideways from their religion.
but they stay because all their friends and family are jw's.
this is especially the case with younger ones and single ones in the organisation, who often have very sophisticated social lives and networks of friends in the organisation.

Satan induces 1/3rd of angels to rebel but 99% of humans to die at Armagedd
by yadda yadda 2 inin revelation 12, the dragon (satan) is said to hurl a third of the stars to the earth, representing a third of the angels that satan induces to also rebel against jehovah.. if man is only made a 'little lower' than the angels, how is it that satan manages to get jehovah to slaughter just about all of humankind for eternity at armageddon, according to jw theology?.
shouldn't the percentage of rebel whose fate is eternal death, both angelic and human, be roughly the same?.
yadda.

A knock-down argument against the WBTS interpretation of Matt 24:45-47!
by yadda yadda 2 inthe wbts teaches that in 1919 jesus inspected all of christendom and appointed the wbts "over all his belongings" in fulfillment of matthew 24:45-47: "who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.
truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.".

Issue of universal sovereignty not settled until after 1000 year reign!
by yadda yadda 2 inthe watchtower soc and others say that the bible teaches that jehovah is allowing time to pass so that evidence can build up to prove that man cannot live and govern himself independently of god.
the argument is made that god has tolerated wickedness so that the evidence can gradually accumulate against satan's claim that god's might does not necessarily give him the right to rule and that man can rule himself successfully without god's direct governance.
when armageddon breaks out, it is said that the evidence will be conclusive that man could not rule himself independently of god and the devil's claims were false.. the analogy is put forward that this drama is being played out like some great universal court case in heaven, with judges sitting examing evidence being presented to assess the devil's claims.

The Republicans WILL get back in! An October Surprise is coming!
by yadda yadda 2 inyou can guarantee there will be an october surprise that will scare the us public into voting bush mark ii in, john mccain.. its going to be one of the following (or a slight variation thereof): .
another bin laden message, like we saw a few days before the 2004. bin laden's fortuitous appearance swung the vote in favour of bush, something now widely admitted.an assassination of a prominent european leader like the british pm, brown.more likely, it will be an attack on iran by israel which will provoke iran and hezbollah into retaliating against israel, which will serve as a pretext for the us to help defend israel, and the american brainwashed public will of course vote for a strong, military leader like john mccain.or it will just be hezbollah alone, who are now armed to the teeth courtesy of iran, to start firing a few missiles into israel on the eve of the election...same scenario ensues as above.the us people are totally brainwashed and will vote on fear of terrorism every time now...all that has to be done is to trigger that primal fear again and mccain will sweep in, just like the most stupid and worst us president there ever was unbelievably did in 2004. the financial crisis will quickly be forgotten when the october surprise happens..

The 'Gentile Times' started in 70AD not 607BCE!!!!
by yadda yadda 2 infrom john denton's amazing website: http://www.tangotango.org.uk/.
did the gentile times start in 607 bc?.
some authorities on bible prophecy having accepted russell's calculations, teach that the 2,520 years of the gentile times started in 607 bc, when they reckon the last god approved king zedekiah reigned over jerusalem as god's representative king, 2,520 years from this date ends in 1914. following are six reasons why this assumption is inaccurate.

How come the US taxpayer has to bail out the greedy, immoral bankers
by yadda yadda 2 in$750 billion.
thats about $2,000 for every us citizen.. what i don't understand is how come it is viewed as communism and interventionism to interfere with the market when the times are good, but as soon as it all goes sour, the us government immediately intervenes to bail the market out and mortgage future generations of hardworking us taxpayers?
it's almost surreal.

Closing this forum would be a major loss in bringing justice against the WT
by yadda yadda 2 inthe owners have given good reasons for deciding to close this forum and they have every right to do so.. but lets hope they change their mind and can come up with some other resolution to the recent difficulties experienced here apart from the extreme measure of closing it altogether.. sometimes we lose perspective a bit in the heat of the moment.
i hope they reflect on the fact that there is a compelling reason for keeping this forum alive: to continue the fight to reform and bring justice to the watchtower society and relief to its victims.. many persons have benefited enormously from reservoirs of information like this forum in helping them escape the watchtower's unrelinquishing and morbid control over their minds.
this website is a powerful tool for helping do that.

Why we can confidently say JW's are NOT fulfilling John 13:35
by yadda yadda 2 in"this is how everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
" - john 13:35 (niv).
a genuine christian would never totally shun a disfellowshipped family member or life-long friend who walked past them.
