jw's idea of 'the good news'
by carla ina poster from another board pointed out this wt quote below, credit to john653.
shouldn't jw's be counted in those who 'oppress' their fellowmen?
they certainly fit the description of oppressing their own people.

Is interpretation of dreams divination?
by dmouse ini've just watched the old 'joseph and the amazing technicolour dreamcoat' on dvd and i'm a bit confused.. basically, what is the societies viewpoint, and more importantly, the scriptural viewpoint, on interpreting dreams - or using them to predict future events?.
i'm sure the society would look down on anyone saying he had dreams that came true.
yet the bible is full of such instances.

WTBTS's Use of "Illustrations"
by Tashawaa inremember "illustrations"... the wtbts uses them to drive-home their points.
for example, i can't get the illustration of "good parents who allow their child to undergo a painful operation for its own good" (with picture of parents heartbroken, and crying, reaching child being wheeled into operating room).
this was suppose to help us "understand" why god allows the suffering today - for our future wellbeing.. well, what if the parents had the power to heal the child without surgery.

Is There Any Evidence To Support The WTBTS's Proclamation?
by Honesty inthe wtbts has consistently claimed that early christians did not serve in the military.
where is their evidence to support this when there are many accounts disproving their proclamation?.
fox's book of martyrs disputes the wt claims as does evidence of the roman 12th legion known as the 'thundering legion'.. .

Jehovahs Witness and Disability
by mactoph inhello all- i am putting together a directory of resources from different religious organizations that address the topic of disability and have had a difficult time finding anything from the jehovahs witnesses.... i am wondering if anyone out there knows of anything in the area of disability- websites, organizations, people??
the kind of thing i'm looking for is under the 'faith group specific' section here at http://www.faithability.org/directory/ i'm not really familiar with the jehovahs witnesses teaching on the topic, but our neighbors were jehovahs witnesses growing up and they were great neighbors to my two younger brothers with disabilities- i just want to make sure that i have a good and accurate representation- any help is appreciated.
thanks, christopher phillips http://www.faithability.org/

Breaking the mold
by RollerDave inwe are all products of our upbringing to more of an extent than most of us are probably aware.. those of us brought up in the wts mindset have to admit that we have been affected by it.. i, myself, am surprised at the effect it had on me, i sometimes find that i have been molded into the mindset and even though i have discarded the wts trappings, the framework remains to be used be new beliefs just as harmfully.. unless the actual framework, the mold, can be broken; we run the risk of just stumbling from one disastrous belief system to the next.. being a zealot can be so appealing, but it is just a part of the framework that props up the wts mindset.
i have been guilty of it.. as the very glimmerings of disenchantment began faintly glowing within me, i found that redirecting my considerable zealotry helped me to ignore my misgivings for a time.
i redirected my stubborn certainty into computer os bigotry.. i became an amiga fanatic, devoted to that platform with a fervor replicating that of a wts drone.

Notice how Mr Bean series soundtrack has "Praise Jehovah" in it?
by Witness 007 inin the series at the start mr bean {rowan atikinson} drops from heaven into a spot light and the singing of "praise jehovah....." begins...did you notice?
{check youtube} .
funny since rowan atkinsons famous "hell/devil skit has a punchline in hell where the devil says..."oh and here we have the jehovah's witnesses, sorry but there really is a hell..." .

Nebuchadnezzar's Image
by Ténébreux insorry everyone, this was so stupid i just had to post it - apologies if it has been discussed before.
this is something that has been doing the email rounds in local congregations - the stone from nebuchadnezzar's dream, as depicted by the wts over the years:1958, "your will be done on earth", page 112. the stone is still quite a good distance away.1999, "pay attention to daniel's prophecy", page 58. the stone is now quite close.2004, "keep on the watch", page 15. crunch.. .
woooooooooo... scary stuff !
