Are my parents apostate AKA Is WTS alienating babyboomer JWs via new light
by XQsThaiPoes inme and my parents have been getting into fights about religion.
oddly the reason is i am enforcing the wts status quo on issues such as the new blood policy, the doctrine that all that die before big-a are ressurected, that jehovah does not want service motivated by scoldings or bribery, that each person should be free to make up their own mind on their own time, that you don't have to be baptized to survive big-a, that you are counted as a believer if you study, the only required meeting is the memorial, only the 144k have to preach, and that jwism is a belief and as long as you believe it you are a jw regardless of participation.
in one form or another these veiws have been posted in the watchtowers in the last few years.

New change in abuse policy?
by XQsThaiPoes ina family member that is a elder told us that now two spousal abuse charges (filed with the police) is a dfing offense for the abuser, and that they are free to remarry (i assume he means the elders won't df the victim for adultry).
i assume this is local elder margin of your pa book eddicts.
because the watchtowers official stance has not changed.

Saturday morning house to house not good enought anymore!
by XQsThaiPoes injust came from the assembly.
they critisized us for going house to house implying that it was cheating the system and just a way to get fs hours with out talking to people.

Do JWs believe all wordly people die at armageddon?
by XQsThaiPoes ini was wondering a few things.
i am trying to avoid the complexe question fallacy so excuse me if this is worded strangely instead of just saying "do jws believe all wordly people die at armageddon?"..
1) did the watchtower change its teaching on the great tribulation and armageddon enought for you to call it a major change?.

All Hail Christ the Overlord!
by XQsThaiPoes in*** w50 6/1 p. 173 a completely new world for this globe ***.
under theocratic rule directed by the invisible "heavens" with christ jesus the king and overlord, all will be happiness, peace and blessedness on earth.
sickness and disease and want and fear will be unknown, the worship of jehovah will be pure and free, in spirit and in truth, and man and the lower animals will be at peace.

Death vs JWs who is more effective?
by XQsThaiPoes in56.7 million people died in 2003.. 0.26 million people became baptized in 2003.. that means that death is forwarding more people to the new order than the jws preaching work.
how come the watchtower never brings this up to ease the souls of those that can't quite manage to get out in the field?.
good ole death.

June 1st watchtower new light from watchtower legal.
by XQsThaiPoes innew policy.. pg17 "young ones, if you live in a land where the laws permits it, do you give god glory by witnessing in school, or do you allow fear of man to hold you back?.
begs the question since public preaching is banned in many places in the east does this mean that there is a whole class of non preaching jws?
pg19 "remember, though, that preaching is just one way in which we bring glory to jehovah.

Feild service just became totally optional. July 1 watchtower 2004.
by XQsThaiPoes in"today we likewise do not use fear or simular negative emotions, such as shame, to coerce others into obeying christ.
only whole souled obedience based on love for god and christ makes jehovahs heart rejoyce.".
so if you feel half-a* about door knocking stay home..
