What is the most unBiblical teaching of the JWs?
by jerome init has been said that the jws hold to many beliefs that are unnsupported scripturally and inforce many 'unwritten' rules which they refer to as 'principles'.. i would like to start off the thread with what i think is the most important unbiblical teaching that they need to promote inorder to exist.. the watchtower teaches that "a prophet is able to make mistakes while he is speaking for god and still be considered as true.
mind you that these are not slips of the tounge but doctrines and predictions that have been promoted for years and have only been modified only after the watchtower had no choice but to change them.. this in my opinion is the most unscriptural teaching that the watchtower promotes.
if it werent for this teaching then the watchtower would most definately have to be marked as a false prophet!

WT 4-01-02 article
by DB inin the april 1, 2002 issue of the watchtower, an article appears entitled "keep on serving jehovah with a steadfast heart".
paragraph 14 of this article states: "if jehovah's organization knowingly endorsed false teachings, advice to read the bible would never be given to jehovah's witnesses and those to whom they preach.".
i am withholding comment on this statement, because i'd like to hear from any who would like to post a response.

Disturbing trend in WT magazines...
by TheApostleAK inthis may be obvious to some but has anybody noticed the lack of doctrinal based watchtower study articles in wts for the last 2 years?.
lately we've been just getting either "pep talk" articles or articles that are only based on subjects.. the only new light lately is mainly the daniel and isaiah books.
and any new light in wt's is mainly just clarification (usually in the q's from readers page).. from ak

The Great Crowd on the move
by Atreyu inthe watchtower 5/1-02 presents a new understanding regarding where the great crowd is rendering sacred service.
this is most interesting since it concerns a very central teaching of jw but the inconsistencies are still there!.
why was the great crowd placed in the court of gentiles?.

Memorial Supper - A child's perspective
by Atreyu inat the memorial supper, i took along my little daughter, nearly 6. she's not familiar with kingdom halls and what's going on there.
to make her comfortable, i let her bring a favourite "teddy bear", actuallay a cow.. she found it very peculiar that the bread and wine was passed from hand to hand without anyone eating or drinking.
she asked a lot and i tried to explain.

To You Know: Broken "Sworn Oaths" Be...
by tfs inand yet, the interesting thing is that you went to the kingdom hall.
unless you were just sneaking in to spy on your former brothers, which may or may not be the case, or perhaps in your case there is some remnant of spirituality that remains.
at any rate, jehovah has the perfect solution to the problem confronting the faith.

"You Know" invited to The Last Supper
by Atreyu insorry for late response.
this is a commentary to a reply from you know, regarding the meaning of the last supper.
by using covenant in both verses, the nwt is thereby giving the impression that the covenant of the blood (v20) is the same thing as the appointment of the kingdom to the disciples (v29).. the greek word for covenant in v20 is diatheke.

The Last Supper - very simple
by Atreyu injesus took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples.
take it and eat it, he said, this is my body.
then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them saying, drink from this, all of you, for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
