Birthdays and Disfellowshipping
by geevee ini am trying to find any substance to the idea that if you had a birthday celerbration as a jw you could be disfellowshipped?
i have a word document that i made before i handed in my elders book and i have the 2005 wt cd from reexamine.
the elders book on around page 91-94 or 5 lists a heap of things that you could be disfellowshipped for, but celebrating birthdays are not one of them.

JW Weddings
by Jeffro inat every jw wedding i ever went to, the celebrant has always said without fail that "the bride and groom have requested that no rice or confetti be thrown".. is this spiel used everywhere?
is it actually a request of the bride and groom, or is it just bombastically imposed by the elders (i.e.
a lie)?.

Seven thousnd times omited..Hard to believe
by Poztate inin the dec 1 wt first article on antichrists they state "adding to the confusion,many bible translators have taken god's name,jehovah,out of there translations,even though it occurs over 7,000 time in the original text!".
i am curious since the name jehovah is a recent invention or corruption which original texts could possibly contain this name 7,000 times?
it seems to me like they are trying to blow a lot of hot air at the faithful.. it also seemed to me that they were trying to draw a firmer link between "apostates" and the antichrist.

Theocratic Pornography
by mann377 injust some thoughs after reading the past wt's and reviewing the last assembly with a friend.
it still amazes me how the wtbs gets away with the absolute foolishness of their beliefs.
the only plausible explaination that i could come up with is that it is like porn (spritural nudity) such that the dubs are now addicted to.

Luke 23:43 the NWT
by Ade inluke 23:43 - and jesus said to him, "positively i say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.
nwt places comma here , giving a totally different meaning to the verse.
now the average jw uses this to back their doctrine and it seems in itself virtually impossible to reason with them on it.
