Todays WT study illustration of Jesus doing away Capitol Hill and Obama - a statement of the WTS?
by Gorbatchov ini attended the todays wt study and got notice of the illustration of jesus doing away capitol hill and barack obama.. i think the illustration passed the juridical advisors of the wts, having a blackout!
of are they trying to reach the anti government people like the tea party idiots with this kind of propaganda illustrations?.
is this a signal that the wts is anti democrats, anti obama?.

Things Ive Un-Learned Since Leaving the Watchtower, Part One
by MarcusScriptus inwhile it is not possible for me to claim that the following are axioms in the objective sense, they are a glimpse into demonstrating how far from reality the governing body keeps its adherents.
once a member of jehovahs witnesses, we suddenly develop a sense of authority since we have the truth.
we become experts in the bible, on religion, upon anything we study about.

Nobody wants to live in paradise
by eric356 ini've got some probably-not-so-original musings about why nobody would actually want to "live forever on a paradise earth.
" these are the sorts of things that probably make every jw kid (or adult) have some doubts, because the problems are so obvious.
the standard jw answer of "it doesn't say in the bible what will happen, we'll see when we get there" or "wait for the new scrolls to be opened" are totally inadequate because the problems involve the very concept of eternal life in paradise.

Favorite Demon Stories
by Cold Steel inone of the most fascinating aspects of the jw religion is the profound fear of demons (evil spirits) it engenders in its members.
i just wondered whether it's something that is used by the leadership as a means of control, or whether it's simply a concept that grew legs and took off on its own?
first, i believe in evil spirits.
