can anyone please direct me to a download of the watchtower library on cd?.
.
matty.
i dont think there is a full download of that on line, but if someone actually has a cd from a computer from say 2005, then you could have all the stuff back before 1950, which is where my 2012 cd stops.
you can always find individual article downloads from some sources that you have to search for.
i have noticed with "apostates/exjws" they always resort to "watchtower-bashing" whenever you show them inconsistencies of the bible.
we could be talking about contradictions, such as where did cain get his wife if adam,eve, abel, and cain were the only ones on earth?
the usual answer when they cannot answer will be "well the wt gave false prophecies in 1975".
julia o is correct. you might wish to read a book or two by bart ehrman as well.
as far as im concerned, all religion is in opposition to the creator.
i dont get it.. who is being spoken about?
first of all wouldnt moses be greater that john the baptist?
and yet im greater than john?
ok, new can of worms,
jesus preached the kingdom, but were led to believe by the writter of corinthians,
that we cant preach a different message
that all we need to do is believe on the lord and well be saved.
[ jws preach the kindgom of jehovah, which is why so many people think they dont believe in jesus.]
doesnt say anything about getting baptised by water,
because i think that baptism was for the nation israel to prove they accepted Jeusus as thier savior[repent and be baptised]
ill perhaps post this for all to answer on i never did think that we were to continue in water baptism.
for one thing, i cant get past genesis, but no matter.. when god told adam and eve if you eat from the tree youll die.
so why did he not simple let them die and not allow the offspring to?.
you see, if i was a god, and i told two people that, id let them die , .
ok, so were all 'in agreement'[ lol] [i hate that misused scripture]
redvip2000 is the new god
so the governing body likes to keep claiming incredible growth.
at the same time they claim bible studies are way down.
are the finally admitting what we've known all along, that they can no longer recruit outsiders?
the population of new jersey is higher than the number of Jws world wide.
the population of earth proves that jws are one in [so many] million. im not doin the math
such a shame, they could have turned out to be a nice little normal christain congregation.
anyone who is a witness or was previously a witness, is aware of the written & un-written rules concerning association with disfellowshipped family members.. there are a multitude of quotes through out the watchtower publications, but these 2 will suffice.. "are you proving yourself holy by not associating with family members or others who are disfellowshipped?
"the clear instruction in the bible is: avoid them.
that means that we have to stay away from them... the bible says that apostates are mentally diseased and that they use their teachings to make others think like them... what must we do to avoid false teachers?
i love it dont you, when the articles say the bible or jehovah 'says' something when they never did.
the bible says apostates are mentally deseased? where does it say anything close to that?
the people that i have know to be disfellowshiped were df becasue they were drinking to cope with depression, lonely and desperate for affection, or not living 'up' to someones standards.
yea, thats how LOVING the organization is, lets punish depressed people with more depressing loneliness and feelings of guilt!!
we all know what the bible does say about people who have went through some issues , 2nd corinthians 2 vs 6 thu 11
just wondering if any one has heard from ones still asleep, what their feedback has been and what comments have been made by the rank and file??.

some elderly governing body members have a bad way of using thier odd sense of humor, they try to be funny and end up doing more damage.
they should probably have never gotten into the limelight.
its like grandpa went on a rant, and now grandma has to bake cookies and try to make everyone forget about it.
the fight between god and satan.
boob job or not.. .
i am on bible gods side for perhaps the first time in my life.i too think a boob job in order for satan.. .

and they left the congregations, would you then feel open to be thier friends?.
many on here have the same complaint, that in the jw congregations, there were clickes, no one had time for each other,.
people judged, there was a lack of association, freindship , true concern and love were lacking.
id say born ins who leave will have a much harder time finding acceptable friendships due to the learned high standards for people in general.
so Id say for me, im not going to turn all 'worldly' like as far as swearing up a storm though i do the hell and dam bit, and id never go back to smoking
it stinks and would flare up my allergies plus who can afford it. id not choose to be freinds with smokers for that reason, and i wouldnt choose certain types of people who i have no common intrests, like im not into country music, or hard rock, or beer, or football, or guns or tatoos, long hair,
or motorcycles. being so used to suited men and better dressed ladies, its hard t osee myself with those who dress farmer like.
id naturally gravitate to buisness like people into the arts, or, politics or golf clubs or sales people. as for the holidays?
I wont go all chrstmas thats for sure, but i will go to any party or event im invited to.
right now, the only people whom i associate with is my boring tv loving husband which isnt grand in any sense of the word, and my daughter occationally.
i have no job right now, hard to get one at my age with no education.
so i dont get out to meet people. so its going to be difficult for me at age 52, to find any freinds.
anyone else have that feeling?
george smith pulls into the kingdom hall parking lot one sunday morning.
he is excited because today, for the first time, he will handle the mikes.
some days the visiting speaker asks questions of the audience.
my sister nearly named her daughter Trinity, my jw mom had a cow when she thought she was,
so she named her setona, but she wanted to spell it satana! I told her oh God mom will die, lol. so i told her to use other letters
now she gets the nic name tona.
