Well, do bears crap in the woods? Sorry, you hit a sore spot with me because my brother no longer talks to me because of his own self-righteousness. It is fundamental characteristic of the JW-cult I’m afraid. Almost every publication of the "SLAVE" promotes the idea that JW’s are better than anyone else on earth!

Are JW's Self-righteous?
by Honesty ina good friend who is a police officer told me last night that he believes a lot of the jw's he has met through the years in his line of work are extremely self-righteous.
i didn't have much of a reply but it did get me thinking about what he said.
so, what do you guys think?

Hey Integ,
It sounds like they're doing "damage control!" Agree? Thank God for the Internet, the media that exposes the JW-abuse, and of course, we need to be greatful each day for this board! "Where else can we go?" -- hehe!

The time periods of Daniel
by Leolaia inone of the most perplexing puzzles of daniel is the differing way the author referred to the length of time the rebuilt temple would be defiled during the persecution of antiochus epiphanes iv (175-163 bc).
historically, the period is known with some precision; the heathen altar (the "abomination of desolation" of daniel and 1 maccabees) was installed on 15 chislev 167 bc and the temple was rededicated on 25 chislev 164 bc -- a period of almost exactly 3 years (1 maccabees 1:57, 4:52).
the desolation of jerusalem however began some several months prior to this (cf.

Hey Leolaia,
You keep outdoing yourself on almost every new post to this board! I wish I had the time to do the research you've done. Thank you for real "food at the proper time!" (hehe! -- just had to put that WT jab in there!) However, I'll be digesting this latest post over the next week or so, since it is so very intense! Love-it though! Thanks again! This means a lot to me! Hugs!
Mahalo,

On Freeing Minds: How do you know when you have scored a hit?
by Check_Your_Premises injust curious what you former dubs might think.
for those of us trying to "release the bonds", it would be nice to know when we have made some progress.
this is such a slow and tedious battle.

Check_your_premises,
In most cases, it is a very long process, and at times, hard to gage the actual power the “real truth” can have on people. I’m trying every day to help the JW-oppressed get a release from the prison-like system they are in. However, at times, trying to pull the extremely thick scales on their “eyes” is so extremely hard to do; most have extreme pain in the process, especially if they’ve been in the JW structure their whole life! However, I’m trying not to despair! Incrementally, inch-by-inch, month-by-month, year-by-year, I press on. I feel that I’m now on a “life-saving” work, that I can’t imagine turning aside from. The fervor that I once applied to preaching the Watchtower “kingdom,” I now am moved even more to help free the “slaves” from the prison-like system that I was once in. Therefore, no matter how long it takes, I’m willing to continue to “educate, educate, educate” about the false JW “kingdom,” and the fake “organization!”
My 2-cents.

I found the Tyndale Bible Commentary (a recent commentary) on Daniel, to have a number of convincing arguments to the credibility/authenticity of the writing of Daniel. I’ve also read many counter arguments in a number of Bible commentaries, but I’m still contemplating this issue and have not reached a conclusion yet. The WT arguments are simply incomplete, if not inconsistent, and certainly not credible. Their main argument to credibility/authenticity is Jesus’ reference to the book, which I don’t find convincing.
