Are you "Spiritually Sick"???
by JH inwhy is it that a jw is considered "spiritually sick" by the elders and the members of the congregation, if he suddenly decides to stop going to meetings and doesn't see eye to eye with the organization anymore?.
i see people who belong to other faiths, and are very active and seem spiritually healthy, even though they don't believe in what jw's teach.. .
i've been told by elders, that i was "spiritually sick".

Has anyone asked......
by mjl inhas anyone ever asked someone about way the memorial is still celebrated?
the belief is it is to be done yearly until he arrives, but he was supposed to arrive in 1914. so if that?s the case, he?s already here.
why is it still being celebrated?

Is the society shooting themselves in the foot with the new DF policy?
by truth_about_the_truth inlet's face it, it seems like a simplification of the df process as many of you have already mentioned.. within the 6 million or so jw worldwide, there has to be a good number of ppl that are on the fringes of being dfed.
in the past, it took time to technically df these ppl because of the no-shows at judicial hearings and appeals.
also dfing a person can be delayed when no actual proof can be provided of the sin committed.

Have JW's set other dates since "1975" are have they quit fixing dates?
by booker-t init would seem that after 1914, 1918, 1925, 1975 that jw's would do as judge rutherford said and stop fixing dates but i was told they suggested other dates since 1975 failed prediction.
do any posters out there know of other dates suggested for armaggeddon that jw's claimed after 1975. i was talking to an elder the other day and he still insist that "apostates" started the 1975 rumor and some dedicated jw's fell for the rumor and that the wts never said 1975 was the end of the world.
he also claims that the wts only said that maybe the world would end but that they never said point blank that 1975 armaggeddon was arriving.

Christology 101
by hooberus inpsalm 8 kjv describes three types of entities: god, angels, and man (angels here i believe refers to nature- ie:created spirit creatures, not to merely to function as messengers) these can be diagrammed based on the psalm as follows: god (yhwh) angelsman.
the watchower teaches that jesus is now (following his resurrection) an angel (michael the archangel) and not god nor man.
the watchtowers teaching on the resurrected jesus can be diagrammed as the following: godangelman.
