Assume the Position!
by yaddayadda injan 15 2006 watchtower, 2nd study article, last paragraph says:
"....likewise, satan will 'flee from us' in defeat if we are in full submission to jehovah and prayerfully rely on him.
(ephesians 6:18) with the support of jehovah god and his beloved son, nobody can do us permanent harm - no, not even internet apostates the devil!

Watchtower admits JW's teach a different gospel
by yaddayadda infeb 1, 2006 watchtower, page 25, para 14:.
"that issue of the watch tower further stated: "in 1920,...bible students came to a correct understanding of our lord's prophecy contained in matthew 24:14. they then realized that 'this gospel' which was to be preached in all the world for a testimony to the gentiles or all nations, was not a gospel of a kingdom yet to come but a gospel to the effect that the messianic king has begun his reign over the earth.
[emphasis mine].

If you really want to help JW's leave
by yaddayadda ininstead of wasting half your waking life on anti-jw websites, this is what you need to do:.
if you are not disfellowshipped or d'ad, periodically visit local congregations (eg, once a month visit a different congo).
after the meeting is over, make sure you get chatting to someone that might know you or who might approach you, preferably not an elder or ms, but rather someone that you know is a little bit 'on the fringe' of the organisation.

Watchtower failing in it's stated purpose
by yaddayadda inthe watchtower is failing in it's stated purpose contained on the inside cover of every issue.
"it keeps watch on world events as these fulfill bible prophecy".
when was the last time you read an article that discussed current world events and how they are related to bible prophecy?

What will be the next big 'new light'?
by yaddayadda init's been a while since the watchtower overlords made any serious doctrinal changes.
wts 'new light' seems to be somewhat cyclical, around every ten years or so.
it's been just over 10 years since the 1995 'this generation' change.

'according to houses' distributive not consecutive
by yaddayadda in.
ray franz says that the greek word translated as 'house to house', (kat' oikon or kat' oikous) in the nwt is in the distributive, which the society says supports their 'door to door' policy, but that in order for it to support the idea of literally going door to door that this greek word should be in the consecutive sense.
however franz doesn't offer any supporting research on this.. it seems to me that a 'distributive' sense could indeed suggest that the disciples would have gone to every house in a town or village, just not necessarily consecutively, ie, methodically in a door-to-door fashion.. does anyone know of any further instances in the bible that can validate franz's point here?
