Would Blondie or Mary ever make it as Elders in your old Congregation?
by RULES & REGULATIONS in
1. watchtower
2. bible
we know the wts will never except woman as elders.in the last year as a member of jwd,i have learned more from blondie and mary than any elder in my congregation.all the elders in my congregation look like they go thru the motions.they are more like policy enforcers than teachers.. do you think that by excepting woman, some men would be embarassed to how little they know?

does the wts know some woman would better teachers?

is it more like a men's club?

Can JW's value life when they OPPOSE abortion but BAN blood transfusions?
by truthseeker in
1. watchtower
2. medical
someone needs to get the word out that the only reason blood was banned was to incite persecution against jehovah's witnesses.

after the end of world war ii did not bring armageddon.

the book four presidents of the watchtower society says that individuals were considering banning blood transfusions but that rutherford was against it.. jehovah's witnesses say that abortion is wrong, that even if life is just a few cells, it's worth protecting and would be murder if someone aborted it yet.

IF YOU TALK TO THE MEDIA ON BLOOD, FOCUS/GET THIS POINT IN
by skeeter1 in
1. watchtower
2. medical
i've read alot of stories on the sextuplets, and it's great to have the media reporting 'bad' light on the no-blood policy & jws in general.

but, we need to ramp it up.

the media is missing the big story - the fraction lie.

Do you have to get baptized to be saved?
by JH in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
1 peter 3:21.

21that which corresponds to this is also now saving you, namely, baptism, (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the request made to god for a good conscience,) through the resurrection of jesus christ.. the witnesses say that you have to get baptized to be saved, but what will happen to jw children that aren't baptized or jw teens that didn't get baptized yet?.

i was talking this morning while i was preaching with this sister, and she asked me: do you know that the preaching work will be done soon?

i asked her: what do you mean?

she responded back: a sister (and i know her also) told me that her brother heard that the preaching is gonna be over because there are only two countries that jw can't go because it's too dangerous and yada yada yada.
