  Shouldn't the Watchtower study be renamed the "congregation bible study"?

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why rename the "congregation book study" the "congregation bible study" (a broad, generic term that could be applied to all meetings really) when surely it would have been more appropriate to rename the "watchtower study" that?.

  after all, the watchtower study is touted as a "bible study" by the whole congregation, right?

  jw's consider the watchtower study as the main weekly study of the bible that they do as a congregation, right?

  Being told that "Not all people will die at Armageddon"

  by Robert7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife, who while still (at least partially) in, is an open thinker, agrees with me for the most part, and has made a recent observation... .

  she brings up with her friends how it's difficult to believe that all non-jws, over 6 billion will die at armageddon.

  plus will die becuase they didn't accept some magazine.

  INPUT NEEDED ON JW BELIEFS

  by Mary in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm at the beginning of putting a package together regarding the wts and i'd like your opinion on which topics i should include.

  basically, this would be a package for those who have family or friends in the borg, but who you think might listen to reason if it was presented in the right fashion.

  it's not going to be a huge package, because i don't want to overwhelm anyone, but i want the information to be precise enough that it would stop and make them think.. so far, i'm thinking that i'd like to touch on the following:.

  Unity

  by RebelWife in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why do they say every one of them all over the world believes the same thing, but then they'll say that they personally don't believe a particular aspect of the doctrine?

  for instance, my dubsband doesn't necessarily believe i'll die at the big a.
