  i am new

  by lunarlara in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have been studying with the jw for just over 3 years.i have always believed in god and the bible.

  the path my life took ended up with me being a single parent of 4 children.. the jws led me down the path of the "truth".

  my grandmother disowned me and i just couldnt understand why.i was told that satan was lurking round every corner trying to get me away from god.

  i am biting my nails in anticipation of the game today.

  if we win, we're in the playoffs, if not, well it's a long shot.

  i can't believe that i am saying this but i think the panthers should think about picking up t.o.

  "We are the only religion on earth that can claim to be unhypocritical."

  2. bible

  those are the exact words of the po's wife today at the wt study.

  i wrote them down as she said them.

  the next comment by one of the servants was, "if we accept the authority of the faithful and discreet slave, we cannot go wrong.

  Reminds me of a comment the other Sunday about Hosea---"If it was not for FDS, how would we ever know what this means. We could never come up with this on our own".

  As I understand, the BIG NEWS tidal wave is picking up steam. The snail mail copies of the Journal of Church & State's article are just now starting to arrive, and all are just now beginning to digest it. I got mine, and there are about 18 misrepresentations in it! It's a fabulous, and a must read.

  Thanks Skeeter1

  I was wondering if anyone had gotten theirs yet & the reaction. I'm waiting on mine.

  1914 question

  by drew sagan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  put aside all of the 607 b.c.e., there is another question that i'm not familiar with and mabyee some of you know what there explanation is, or if they don't even address the issue.

  we are all familiar with the account in daniel chapter five, and nebuchadnezzars dream about the tree.

  daniels explanation of this dream begins: .

  I've always had trouble grasping the concept that the prophecies had to have a 'minor' fullfillment in Bible times and a 'major' fulfillment in our day. Just another idea that we are supposed to accept without question.

  Help --Pre-JW Faithful and Discreet Slave??

  by lynnmelo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi, folks.

  for those who may not remember my previous posts, i'm someone who has been studying with the jw's for about two years but didn't commit (i.e., get baptized) because, as i thought then, i was just too selfish and cowardly to join up with the jw's.

  that's before i found this site and watched the dateline video on the child molestation problem.

  As has been pointed out on other threads, the timing of the context is at Jesus arrival as executioner (NOT 1919). That makes it a moot point who it could have been in the past. Have you considered this?

  Starting a collection of the Inexplicable JW Doctrines...

  by AuldSoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am starting a collection of jw doctrines and practices that have no basis in the scriptures and (preferably) that the scriptures or secular history directly contradicts.

  this isn''t a thread for arguing with scholar is he drops by.

  i want as comprehensive a set as possible as part of a project i am working on, so even if you aren't sure of one, please toss it in the mix.

  Can the beast be slain? Should it be?

  by AuldSoul in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on another thread i was responding to sentient and realized that what i was writing is what i truly feel so many who come out don't look at from a practical standpoint.

  the individuals in the organization are not typically the biggest problem, it is the organization itself.

  they call it an "organization" to hide its true face; it is a corporation.

  I don't think we need detailed schedules and records of participation

  And here I was just sure this is why you came up with this form.
