You'll die if you don't go to meetings
by Bonnie_Clyde inlast sunday's watchtower admits (p. 17) that "we are not under the mosaic law.
" but in the next paragraph it says that just as the tithing arrangement was not optional for the israelites, meeting attendance is also not optional for christians.
the first page of the february 2004 kingdom ministry tells us why.

KKK, Nazi's, the JW's, and my bad.
by UpAndAtom inmy jw brother came around to see me, and i drew the comparison that jw "mentality" was similar to that of kkk and nazi members.
although he didn't really let me explain why i thought that and stormed out.
since i didn't get a chance to discuss the differences between healthy groups and un-healthy groups, i wanted to get your input.

Is the idea of immortality in any way possible?
by logansrun inthe traditional christian view of immortality hinges on some form of dualism -- the notion that your consciousness is not dependent on the brain and can survive the dissolution of the body.
modern science has not found any evidence for this whatsoever.
it seems rather likely that our consciousness and mental abilities are bound to our brains and their neuronal firings.

Cannabis & priestly anointing oil ?
by El blanko inhi there fellow students .... a quick question for you all.
do you know whether in the temple arrangement, the anointing oil used contained flower heads from the cannabis plant?
there appears to be evidence that suggests that the word kineboisin refers to the plant.

Is the rank and file aware of the serious dilema the WTS is facing?
by fearnotruth22 inthe rank and file fears "apostates" hence jws will not accpet any evidence or arguments from succh like ones.
the mind set automatically rejects any charges against the wts without examining facts obejectivle because the wts cannot be wrong.by definition jws view the wts as god's agency, so it cannot be wrong and even if it is wrong, it is for a reason that god is allowing it and it is god's arrangement and not the business of the rank and file to judge for themselves on that but,to leave it in j's hand and in time it will be taken care of.
in law that is called a catch all, which is sometimes the power that a judge is empowered with by the state to use his discretion and do whatever the hell he wants, pardon the phrase.. it is true that the wts has opoosers that distort facts and trump up charges in order to discredit the wts, but false accustaions against thewts do not camcel out real evidence that challenges the wt and above and beyond wt teachings is the evidence that puts a differebnt spin on and shows another perspective of the bible, and the concept of god affecting in peoples lives.

Is the Wt bursting at the seams with$ billions?
by fearnotruth22 init is true that the society owns 10'0s of millions of $ to say the least in real estate, and monetary funds used to run the org.
but can anyone substantiate that the wt has billions of dollars in moneys such as cash in bank accounts, in stocks?.
if so, how does the wt justify having all of that wealth while most of humanity is in dire need?
