by unbeliever in

jw
friends

i was looking at the jw list that nikl posted and i came across this: .

read the bible in one year.

the guy broke it down day by day.

Hi mkr32208, i did it 5 times after getting hold of that schedule and even invited some of my congregation to the the same (one sister did it, but she is also out of the borg now). I even read it the first time for the first months in english As you wrote: sometimes i just got to read a couple of chapters to keep on track.

Have you read my experience in the Awake?Read this

by ELON14 in

jw
friends

many of you already know my real name.i'm the one whose experience was published in the sep 8 1994 awake mag.

i would like to stress that although i have good reason to be angry and bitter, nothing i say here is said in anger but only in sadness.

i write this to say that if i could take back many of my words i said in that experience , i would.

I just found this story of one who was an example for JWs and it is some sort of distusting, what the WTS does NOT say about those people! They should be honest to say, that some of us move away from the wrong teaching.

JWs have "studied Daniel?s prophecy, verse by verse." Without having to open to the book of Daniel since every scripture is quote in a paragraph in the book. So they studied the Daniel book paragraph by paragraph (one of the most boring books per unofficial survey of the book study group and the congregations I had contact with at that time).

This book will be studied again beginning of June 27, 2005 - phew, glad i'm out and don't have to conduct it again.

Giving/Receiving blood fractions

by JH in

.

we all know that jw's don't give blood and don't accept it neither, but they will accept blood fractions.. .

so my question is: since they can receive blood fractions, can they give blood fractions....and how.. since giving blood is not permitted?.

mineralogist

I asked an elder of the HLC and he did not provide a good answer. Only some analogy of the OT where the isralites sold there dead non-blooded animal to the gentiles and it is up to them what to do with it. That's why JW accept blood cause the non-JW do with there blood what ever they want.

Obvious reason - isn't it?

"A true companion is loving all the time, and is a brother that is born for when there is distress." (Proverbs 17:17)

But what are the real friends? At my times of needing comfort it has been JWD or the german platform www.infolink-net.de and a school-friend i denied when becoming a witness. After 15 years he even introduces me to the old friends which have time for a talk. Where are the friends of my former association when being in trouble or questioning the JW teachings? The only "help" i got was being DF'd after 8 months!

Really "loving brothers"

Crisis Of Conscience - What Did The Society Say?

by dh in

jw
friends

i remember reading somewhere online that the society have banned jw's from reading ray franz book; crisis of conscience.

i wondered what the details of this were, have they actually named the book in any of their publications?

or spoken publicly against it?

mineralogist

In germany there was a BOE in the early 90's regarding COC as this was mentioned in a JC. The elders should investigate the "brothers" and look for this book and also report about the reaction.

Dinosaurs?

by Monski in

a popular jw teaser, i know?

but does anyone know exactly how they stand on it?

i would love to know.

mineralogist

Not an info on dino's but according to the JW timetable they could only lived something between 7000 and 21000 years ago as animals have been created in 5th and 6nd day of creation.

Maybe they didn't fit on the ark? (no joke, once they told, but i can't find it at the moment)

C.T. Russell Claimed Modern Inventions Were Harbingers of the Millennium

by Kenneson in

the april 15, 1915 zion's watch tower, page 126 has an interesting brief article entitled "the typewriter and progress" that is certainly worth perusing.. "amongst the great inventions of our day is the typewriter.

it came upon the market just forty years ago, in 1874, as a merchantable and usable convenience, after having been seven years in process of development.

the bible, we believe, marks the same year, 1874, as the beginning of the harvest of this age.
