"This thing called Love"
by rockhound in"this thing called love" has surely proven to be an elusive thing, to put your finger on.
in an organization who "equates disagreement with disloyalty" it seems that almost every one in the congregation down deep is harboring something that they disagree with about the organization, but they know better than to let anyone know, except their closest friends, and even then their words are well chosen and spoken in guarded terms.
"please don't repeat what i just said to anybody" is the usual caution.

because we're the "We Say So" corporation
by rockhound inif the watchtower says that up is down, up becomes down.
the loyal witness makes the mental switch because the "we say so" corporation says so.
this is relativism in its purest form; and it does not serve truth.

Nebuchadnezzar NOT KING in 607 B.C.
by rockhound inthe watchtower society certainly has had much to say over the years about king nebuchadnezzar destroying jerusalem in the year 607 b.c., and over 6 million loyal followers have accepted their every printed word as if the very finger of god had written it in stone and had handed it directly to editors of the watchtower magazine.
well, it would seem, that someone back in brooklyn doesn't know whether they "are a foot", or "horseback".
over and over, the soceity uses a.k.

Extra, unrecorded king(s)...ONLY possible explanation of the facts
by AuldSoul inmrs. congeniality gave us this: easy math for 586/587, which is a stripped down version of alleymom's kiss method.. the upshot of this reality is that for 607 bc to be correct, a king or kings must have reigned for 20 collective years before jehoiachin's exile (a.k.a.
jeconiah) in 597 bc and be missing completely from the record.. the reason for choosing this date as pivotal is two-fold, (1) the number of years between the exile of jehoiachin and the destruction of jerusalem is known and was entirely covered by nebuchadnezzar's rule, and (2) the time that passed from jehoiachin's release until the restoration is known.. why could not jehoiachin have been exiled in 617 bc as the wts asserts?
because, if that were the case, babylon was destroyed in 559 bc instead of 539 bc.

Is the word out that you are an "Apostate"?
by rockhound inliving in a "spiritual paradise" is not without its dangers.
at every turn lurks those who harbor private opinions born from independant thinking.
all are suspect to elders on a witch hunt.
