Are Apostates Ruining "the Watchtower"?
by slimboyfat inthe witnesses had a coherent and comforting system before apostates came along and challenged many of "the watchtower's" core beliefs.
over blood, the un and other issues the "watchtower" has responded to apostates by clarifying/changing positions.
many firm believers have been led away from the faith by the active apostate community on the web.

Armageddon - Sept 2005: conclusive proof for the arithmetically challenged!
by slimboyfat inthey said it would come in 1975. they were wrong!
just like moses at the waters of meribah they presumed to speak for god when they had no business.
god made israel wait 40 years until moses died, and he is doing the same today!

Branch Split in the Watchtower Kingdom
by slimboyfat inbefore you read anything, you should be aware that i do not know what i am talking about.
it seems clear now that the watchtower religion has already started to decline, in the western world at least.
how will this decline play out in the future - this is one of the most interesting questions relating to the watchtower at the moment: will the witnesses enjoy a slow leisurely decline over many decades, or can we expect a major split and disintegration in the near future?

i heard from my bethel contact that the magazines are to be published monthly from 2006 and 2007. only 12 mags a year, but 46 pages each with no colour illustrations.has anyone else heard about this cut back?
i also heard there is to be a new song book in the summer so that witnesses no longer sing about "sheep and goats" and other "old light".

"to disfellowship" and is conjugations
by slimboyfat inwhat is the noun that we should properly use for the process by which a person becomes disfellowshiped?.
i have tried to find out about this because, in reading andrew holden's book about jehovah's witnesses i came across some jarring phrases, such as "john was fornicator well before his disfellowship, and continued so thereafter".
i have never heard a jehovah's witness use "disfellowship" as a noun thus, and i suspect that the witnesses andrew holden spoke with did not speak so either.
