Does anyone have this WTS book
by hijack inbabylon the great has fallen god;s kingdom rules.
the above book is full of wrong dates.
i can remember studying that one.. it was studied at least twice at the book studies because the gb body said to study it again since new information had come to light and the book needed to be studied again.

Do you fall back to blaming the "Wicked Sytem of Things" for everything?
by AK - Jeff inas witnesses it was the 'catch all' phrase.
we blamed illness, crime, economic probs, job issues, marital probs, and whatever else came down the pike as the fault of the wicked old system.
recently a former friend of us, a long time witness had a stroke.

How responsible is Jesus' advice at Matthew 19:12?
by scout575 inmatthew 19:12 says: " for their are some eunuchs which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and their are some eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom heaven's sake.
he that can make room for it, let him receive it.
" whilst these words of jesus have been taken figuratively by most christians, many, particularly in the past, have taken them all too literally and castrated themselves, thinking they were following jesus' advice.

witness vs. cathlics
by aoxo ini attended an ex witness group for the first time a couple of weeks ago and a comment made was that jw's are just like any other religion (cathlics, lutherans) in that when someone breaks away from it the same reactions are made from the persons family and ex members such as not talking to them, claiming that the new religion is wrong, dismissal from the congregation because of wrongdoing (fornication) and other cultish stuff that the jw's inflict on us ex's.
is anyone else from another religion that can verify this?
i dont think this is true.

Not DA'd, Not DF'd - but pretty much Disowned...
by Ingenuous ini just came from what will probably be the last conversation i'll ever have with my father.
earlier in the day, i'd talked to my mom and she asked what i was up to - translated "what are you doing with yourself since you aren't going to meetings or out in service?
" i told her i'd been discussing the bible with an informal group of people and reading older wts literature.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses becoming a brand name?
by truthseeker inever since the society split into 3 corporations back in october 2000, it seems to me that the phrase "published by jehovah's witnesses" is appearing on almost every publication they produce, as opposed to the old "watchtower bible & tract society of pennsylvania".
last week, i was looking on the back of the new "learn from the great teacher" cd folder.
it suddenly occured to me, that this religion really is a business.
