Question One
by jaffacake inapologies for non-jws & non-christians, but this is a quiz for my newly baptised jw friends.
any jw guinea pigs willing to try it out before i hand it over?
the bible alone (ideally the nwt) should be used to test your answers.

New Light?
by jaffacake ini have looked up the scripture (in its proper context).
firstly, it does not even mention "new light" at all!
secondly, who can read the whole chapter and honestly say this is about god's progressive revelation of informaton to an organisation appointed by jesus to teach people truth in the last days?.

The death of Lawrence's daughter prompted more research
by jaffacake inhttp://www.commentarypress.com/eng-search-ch9-01.html
this blood issue is so important.
even the wts knows now the doctrine was in error but has painted itself into a corner, from which it tries to extract itself very gradually for fear of a backlash.. if you folks read nothing else this month, please read the free online chapter 9 from in search of christian freedom, if you truly wish to understand scriptural truth about blood.

Can't find a post I need
by jaffacake in.
there was a post a week or two ago, and someone quoted a watchtower that encouraged avoiding telling people the truth, not by lying, but by diverting them to another subject.
can anyone remember which thread it was on please?

Common mistakes of JWs & born again Christians
by jaffacake ini would welcome views please, especially from those who don't rule out the relevance of scriptures.
i used to think christians & jws had almost nothing in common, and that can be true in terms of how they treat people.
but i do believe some in both groups have made the same kind of mistakes with the bible.

Were the Bible Students (Watchtower) the only...
by jaffacake inwere the bible students (watchtower) the only 'christian' religion not on the watch for christ's arrival in 1914, or were there others?
the magazine was then called "the watchtower & herald of christ's presence" because the teaching of russell and rutherford at the time (and right up to 1943) was that christ had already returned - in 1874. so when he arrived and was knocking (luke 12:36) allegedly in 1914, they were not on the watch as they thought he had arrived decades earlier.
was the watchtower the only christian religion asleep and not watching for christ's return in 1914, or were there others?

Perhaps I have nothing to lose now
by jaffacake inthe harder i try to get my friend to look into the organisation, the less contact there is between us.
i know he occasonally uses internet & emails (secretly - he has no facilities at home or work) he is newly baptised, won't listen to any criticism, but i know is living something of a double life - most, jws are!
now i'm thinking, what the heck, email him the link to jwdiscussion.
