has any body noticed that the bible reading schedule has been reduced to one chapter per week.

does any one know if this is a policy change or something temporary?

at this rate the complete cycle will take 22 years plus..

on a trip to rome a few years ago i asked my friend (who is roman and jw) what the catholic faith thinks of jw.

he simply stated that jw is tolerated by the church but that really not much thought is given to them.

is there an official stance on jw by the catholics?

Why Witnesses get people to question there religion but they get disfellowshiped if they do it.
by Witness 007 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
yeah so we knock on doors and whatever religion we find we ask them to dismiss it and join us.

all other religions are a shame not real.

but if you questioned the j.w religion about 1914 or anything you would be disfellowshiped..

Blood decisions are now your problem: WT JULY 2025
by raymond frantz in
1. watchtower
2. bible
the following is from the latest study watchtower july 2025, study article 28, paragraph 17:.

each christian must make up his or her own mind about whether to accept or to reject these fractions.

we may find it a challenge to understand this matter fully, but making decisions like this is part of the load that each of us must carry.

What is really Babylon the great?
by Halcon in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
for believers of god and christ, it seems that it should be obvious that babylon the great of revelation should be all religions and spiritual practices associated with the one true enemy of christ...the devil, satan, the snake etc.

essentially any group or individual practicing and promoting witchcraft, sorcery, devil worshipping etc.

all things practiced in ancient babylon (the nation presumably used as the model for the one in revelation).. or is this too simple of an explanation?.
