  My Letter To the Watchtower

  by AiAi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is an exact copy of my letter to the watchtower.

  it never recieved a reply (i did not include 'attn writing committee' in the address however).

  please keep in mind that when i wrote this i had just started my intensive research into their beliefs/history, and despite my agressive tone i really did expect a satisfactory answer.

  do you feel better----emotionally and mentally since stopping meetings and living under the rules of the witnesses?

  2. medical

  if you have opportunity to enter a discussion with a jw (i am still active so for me it's not a problem) ask this line of questions.. q) are you going to go to the red cross to give blood?.

  a) they will answer speedily... no!

  (without hesitation).

  Do you think that JW's will ever get rid of the 1914-doctrine?

  by jads in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after awhile the jw's will have to do something about 1914 when it crumbles right before them.

  how long can they hold onto this russell-invented doctrine?

  Preaching Slowdown

  by cornish in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .

  i can remember numerous talks and study articles about how the preaching work would get more and more intense as we near the end.. one so called prophetic illustration that stands out in my mind was when joshua and his men marched around the city each day and then just before the city fell they marched seven times signifying a quickening of the preaching work.. it seems starkingly obvious that the preaching,is in decline amonst jw's,the jw's are seen less and less often in my neighbourhood,it is very rare to see them out street witnesing around the town centres and railway stations,the average jw spends far less time preaching than a decade ago.. it seems like their chief brag is definately on the wain,in favour of other recruitment methods.

  Some People Stay Witnesses Because They Don't Want To Think For Themselves

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've come to that conclusion.

  some would rather not have to think about a position, a prophecy, a requirement or a belief.

  they really would rather follow the dictates of leaders of an organization.
