Worksheet for JWs with doubts
by seattleniceguy inbeing a witness involves accepting what you might call a "pyramid of belief.
" witness doctrines are based on their interpretation of the bible, which is in turn based on the belief that the bible represents the word of god, which is in turn based on the belief that there is a god that communicates with humans, which is in turn based on the belief that the universe was intentionally constructed by an intelligent being.
the jw belief system is thus the very top block on the pyramid of beliefs.. witnesses are not in the habit of considering their beliefs in this way, so it can be eye-opening to take a look at what you honestly believe at each level of the pyramid.

A little bit of news about the "Big News"
by AndersonsInfo ini just learned about the release of the "big news" and was told that what i've been calling "big news" won't be released today or tomorrow but hopefully sometime this week.
if anyone is saying the 15th it is because we were told months ago that it would be mid-december when the big news would be released.
as soon as i know the day, you will know.
