Great quote from JW Media.org
by Jourles in"the earth will never be destroyed or depopulated but will become a peaceful paradise.".
http://www.jw-media.org/beliefs/trueworship.htm.
so much for telling everyone under our breath that they will be part of the 6-odd billion that will be destroyed when armageddon comes.

Done or not done?
by oscartheduck inwhat's more important?
what i'm getting at is, is it more important to impose your views on what is right in the bible, or to encourage other members of your religion?.
i remember that my past seems to be more a memory of elders telling people "oh, that's wrong.

Talk with a Governing Body member

a few years back while i was a jw i visited my sister and brother-in-law at bethel.

by razorMind inhello everyone...hope all are having a great holiday season.. ***warning--kind of long***.
i am 31 and have been "out" for an undetermined # of years...probably starting as soon as i moved out of the house at age 23. i just "drifted away".. i was born into the jw faith.
my parents remain devout and "zealous" to this day.

Rude JW response to a conversation stopper?
by Gopher indid you ever use this response, or know of someone who did?
it's in page 16 of the "reasoning from the scriptures" book.
the "conversation stopper" being addressed is, i'm not interested .. the 7th and final suggested answer for a jw publisher is as follows: is that your usual reply when jehovah's witnesses call?....have you ever wondered why we keep calling or what we have to say?....briefly, the reason is that i know something that you should know too .

'Order of Special Full-Time Servants'?????
by ISP ineven to witnesses the title given to bethelites is surprising!.
*** yb99 27 highlights of the past year ***.
at present, 17,781 in bethel families around the earth render service as members of the order of special full-time servants.. most would think the wts was free of religious 'orders' and the like.

1934 German letter
by oscartheduck ini've been looking at this letter for some time.. and researching it's origins.. i can't find anything conclusive, really.
i can't locate a denial of its existance from the society, but i haven't got access to any literature anymore, having left it all behind when i moved country to america from england.
so...is there any reference to it in, for example, the proclaimers book?.
