The most successful teaching of Jehovah's Witnesses and an amazing new book on the divine name
by slimboyfat injehovah's witnesses have had to revise their chronology and various doctrinal interpretations due to events and scholarly corrections.
but the one teaching where they have been consistently ahead of the curve is the importance of jehovah's name.. .
i'm going to run through a (necessarily selective) timeline of jw events and scholarly publications that demonstrate the phenomenal success of this teaching in the last days.

Greg Stafford's New Book Has Shipped
by AlanF intoday i received greg stafford's new book three dissertations on the teachings of jehovah's witnesses.
for those who don't know, stafford has been a staunch defender of the watchtower society's teachings for at least six years, on the net and in print.
his previous book, jehovah's witnesses defended (1998, 2000), is a milestone in pro-jw literature.. the new book is a radical departure from stafford's previous book in that he strongly questions the society's doctrines about blood transfusions, the basis for the claim of spiritual authority by jw leaders, the necessity for christians to believe the society's 1914 doctrine, and issues of "legalism" including the propriety of requiring "time" in the field ministry to be reported, and even the supposed scriptural basis for the society's ban on celebrating birthdays and christmas.

by Prisca inthe current discussion of an ex-gb member has prompted me to ponder this question:.
just how much of our personal circumstances can/do we take responsibility for, and how much do we blame the wts?
you may have grown up as a jw, coerced into leaving early to pioneer, not go to university, have no kids, even stay single for the pursuit of singleness in the kingdom work to pioneer or go to bethel.

Questions about Jehovah's Witnesses that I need answers to
by the real truth ini'm not trying to offend anyone by asking questions, but i really want answers to my questions from jehovah's witnesses.
ok, i've been having a problem with john 1:1. how many gods are there?
the most famous distortion in the nwt is john 1:1. the nwt inserts the word "a" in front of the second god in this verse.

John 1:1 and God being "with" God.
by hooberus inthe watchtower says regarding john 1:1: "someone who is "with" another person cannot also be that other person" .
this argument is used by them againist the trinity.
while trinitarians believe that there is only one god, they also believe that there are distinct persons within the one god and that each person is god.
