  Subscriptions to the Afake & Witchtower magazines!

  by BritBoy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do any of you remember this... when one subscribed to the awake or watchtower magazines, they would, back in south africa, come in a cardboard roll... kinda like the kitchen roll cardboard thingies... then later they would come folded in half lengthways.

  well, where i am going with this is here... it became sort of a status symbol in the congo to have one of these rolled mags and later the folded ones and one would make a point of straightening them out (despite them being underlined to death and well used) to show the fact that you subscribe to the magazines!

  did any of you do something similar?

  What is the reasoning that the seventh day of rest is 7000 years?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i used to feel that the prophecy of the seven times ending in 1914 and that the 6,000 years were up in the 20th century was good proof that these are the last days.

  but i just started wondering why the wts says the day of rest would be 7000 years and can not find proof for this assertion.

  does anyone know why the wts says god would rest for a period of 7000 years?.

  a little off topic but why did god need to rest in the first place?

  why did jesus offer the samaritan woman the right to rule as one of the 144,000 in heaven?

  what did she do to deserve it?

  it is gods number

  Elders that don't want to talk about spiritual things

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  someone a month or so ago posted a comment here at jwd about how they were surprised that when elders got together, for instance for dinner or some other non-congregational activity, that they seldom or never talked about the bible or spiritual matters.

  (if anyone remembers who made that comment, please let me know!

  been trying to find the original thread for hours!).

  Rarely did people talk about the bible after the meeting.

  I remember bringing up a point after the book study and people looked at me like I was crazy.

  My recollection of after meeting talk was that it was totally social.

  It was like someone threw a switch and you went from spiritual to fleshly mode.

  JW,s are so sick of all the meetings and service they are forced to do, the last thing they want to do is talk more about it.
