"They know we have the truth!"
by Atreyu ini remember a popular idea that often surfaced in informal discussions among the jws in my congregation, especially back in the 70ies:.
(this was in norway, and please remind that the evangelical-lutheran church is a national church and that ca 95% of population are members.).
"the priests know that we have the truth!".

THANK GOD THE PRESS NEVER GOT HOLD OF IT!
by bay64me ini used to pioneer with a lady that was in her fifty's, brought up in the 'truth' and one of her boasts was that through the efforts of her mother, over a hundred people had been brought in.
over a period of time she revealed many things that had gone on within the organisation one of them being a case of sexual abuse by a special pioneer that had been sent to the area.
his victims were the young boys of a lady that was kind enough to give him a room to stay.

Soviet -> Norway -> UK -> Argentina
by Atreyu inok, off topic, but i'm disgusted.. tonight, a norwegian tv documentary unveiled that during the argentinian/uk war in 1982 over las islas malvinas (the falkland islands) norwegian military intellingence tapped soviet surveillance satellites which monitored the movements of argentinian naval vessels.
this information was *probably* handed over to the uk government and led to the sinking of the argentinian naval vessel "el crucero general belgrano".
323 out of at staff of 1093 died.

JW catches "smear pedo catholic priests&qu...
by Atreyu ini'm in need of advice:.
today a jw wrote an article in a norwegain newspaper about the pedofile catholic priests scandal in the us these days.
obviously, he enjoyed smearing them and argumented that the institution of celibacy was the root to the evil doings.. but, this jw is not personally very active - and he didn't mention anything jw-related in his article at all.

New light on Israel's role in Great Tribulation?
by Atreyu inrumours from norway says that there's a new understanding coming up:.
when the beast (un) is standing on holy ground (israel) the great tribulation will start.. this is only unconfirmed rumours right now, but has anyone heard this already?.
this is very actual now since un is discussing to send peace enforcement troops to israel/palestine - if not george w. sets his foot down in the un security council.

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.
