Just to think over 7 million people who have been conditioned to close their ears to anything negative about the organization! All these people held in invisible suspended animation by the seat of their pants!

The real answer to why is the Watchtower Corporation so indulgently corrupt
by Finkelstein into derive at a correct answer as to why has the watchtower corporation been so corrupt and devious comes it toward that fact this religious publishing house has had men placed in a position to come up with appealing doctrines to allure the publics attention to the very literature the organization's published.
the return of christ, the end times and great tribulation is at hand as well armageddon.
these were all posturing doctrines which the wts has used extensively all throughout the 20th century and before.

Impossible conversation: Jesus and Nicodemus: YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN
by Terry ini am a member on new testament scholar bart ehrman's blog, and the professor is currently outlining a new book he is writing about false memory and the life of jesus.. an interesting post occurred today in which he gives an example of a very famous scripture,.
example of a false memory of jesus teaching i turn to a famous passage in the gospel of john, jesus dialogue with nicodemus (john 3:1-15).
nicodemus is said to be a jewish leader who comes up to jesus and affirms that jesus must come from god because of the great things that he said to have done.

I can't understand how Bart after decades of study doesn't believe in GOD! I can understand not believing in the bible - but not a Creator, not intelligent design! -

Does GOD really care about the writings of men even if it is what we call the bible, a creative work of Men! After all it doesn't seem to be on the priority list of making sure his name is pronounced correctly in the " good book"! -

I don't know the context surrounding this conversation but In a private conversation such as this was Jesus disciples with him or in ear- view to hear this? Makes you wonder how could you write something accurate if no one was an eye witness to record it- unless in this case Jesus while with John said ( in talking about their day) hey I had a conversation with Nicodemus.... -

God & JW can't exist without "evil"
by thedepressedsoul ini was thinking the other day that so far jw's and god have always needed or relied on "evil" to get items done or taken care of.
almost every bible prophecy and jw teaching would not exist without "evil".. let's take the prophecy of jesus for example, it would not have been fulfilled without evil.
when you think about it, he was a needed evil in order for prophecy to be fulfilled.

Book of Isaiah or Psalms say GOD created evil. If he created it then it had to manifest itself some how. Whether we accept it or not whether we full understand it or not whether we have the JW view evil is suppose to be here. Maybe that's why for some people it comes natural.

Who REALLY believed in the idea of living forever on earth??
by stuckinarut2 inseriously.....even when you were 100% in "the truth", did you really believe in living forever?
?

It's the " live forever puzzle" that makes it real. Ps 37:29 clinched it for me along with the live forever book! Plus John 3:16. Plus Jesus telling the evil doer you will be with me in paradise. So it's not so much the Society saying it- it's the bible proof text round- up that roped me in.
i never took the time to research Ps 37:29 to really get the "truth" behind its meaning and what the Hebrew words mean with the context.

Genesis 3:15 in the special talk...
by freemindfade inso as they were reading this today, i read also v. 14-16. now 15 is the basis for the whole theme of the bible essentially for witnesses, i am not sure but other religions must believe the same.. snake=satan.
woman=gods organization.
if i got that somewhat correct.

You are right on! I wondered how I the world you stretch that to fit happy family!
our speaker said God had a purpose yet he had to change up his plan with the sin of Adam and eve and satan - " that snake" do plan to get rid of satan so ultimately families will be blessed.
GB stretching scriptures - makes me sick!

New thoughts on Charity commissioners case
by jimtheman699 indespite all the comments on the charity commission case - its not too bad for the wtbts.. .
the judge found in their favour on a number of key issues - the dates on the papers, the signatures were correct, it was nice paper and they used expensive qc's.
it is, however worth noting that the judge was not exactly supportive and found the cc were within their rights to investigate because:-.

If they issue an official report and make it public there maybe some shaking in the ranks. If they do a press conference of the findings then you're talking confidence rocking!
Avg. JW only will brush this off especially how the GB can do instant damage control on their JW broadcast.

'great crowd' are in the temple (naos) but not in the new covenant???
by fukitol inin one of the biggest about-faces in watchtower history, in a 2002 question from readers it was admitted that the great crowd is indeed in the temple itself (naos) in revelation 7. .
but notice the statement bolded below from that article comparing the great crowd to the proselytes in ancient israel.
the statement is made that the proselytes "submitted to the law covenant.

Data Dog is on to something! Reading CoC by Ray Franz you get that vibe of superiority from the GB and now that new light has made them FDS the air of power is all they wake up knowing they have to breathe! -

A flaw in JW logic on sin and transmision
by _Morpheus inthe "special talk" this year was about family happiness.
as always seems to be the case it was a bait and switch job since the talk had actually nothing to do with how to achive family happiness and everything to do with jw doctrine on why familys are unhappy.
mine is unhappy because of jw doctrine but thats the implied irony in attending the sunday indoctrination i suppose.. that said, the speaker trotted out the oft used jw illistration of a dented bread pan to describe why and how sin was passed from one human (adam) to another (all of us).

Adams body was perfect. Perfect thinking would not have resulted in any flaws namely sining. Having the ability to choose doesn't make you imperfect since YHWH created good and evil. Adam learn the results of choices you make and having a woman in your life to influence them do not always help. Sorry that's reality.
Until we cut thru the thousands of years of corrupt Christianity that has us stuck it will be difficult to fine the TRUTH.
