  just a quick question.

  anyone have a reference in the kingdom ministry where the society suggested a donation [i think it was $60.00] for the cd roms?

  I remember when green Bibles were $1. Books were 25. Magazines were 5 each. Back then there probably was some truth to the statement that "we are only covering the cost of paper". But I remember that article in the KM too, and I found it disgusting. At their suggested donation rates, where does the "non" in non-profit come in?

  Maybe there should be a re-adjustment from "non-profit" to "non-prophet"! No, that wouldn't work either. Then they would have to pay back Caesar's things to Caesar, and we can't have that now, can we?

  Just my 2's worth...

  "Don't wear a motorcycle helmet, they do more damage than good. In a recent study I read, they found that the helmet is too heavy for the neck and as the head get bounced around in an accident, it's twice as heavy because of the helmet and twice as likely to snap yer neck!!!!!! "

  That is by far one of the worst pieces of advice I have ever heard given! Who cares if your neck is broken if your skull is crushed? A 10 mph fall can give the unprotected head irreversible damage.

  IS THE WATCHTOWER A FALSE PROPHET?

  by You Know in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  when jesus was on earth the devil approached him quoting scripture in order to tempt and entrap him.

  it is no wonder then that the apostate angel would be behind the effort to use the scriptures against jehovahs people today in order to mislead them.

  one of the most cunning and effective uses of scripture against us by satans agents is the charge that we are false prophets.

  You know stated: "People believe what they want for their own selfish reasons and therefore are quick to gulp down slander and falsity in order to allow themselves to indulge in their favorite fantasies without the pangs of conscience."

  Sounds like a pretty good description of the JW's to me.

  Has anybody seen this video from the WT society? My JW parents insisted that I watch it. So along with my wife, who has a masters degree in bio-chemistry (and never was a JW) we watched it. Here is my opinion:

  1) Does not address the issue or trauma (car accident, for example)

  2) Too many partial quotes from doctors and professors. I particularily noticed the misquote of a Professor Neil Blumberg about half way through the tape. They cut him off before he was finished (you could see he was about to continue his thought)

  3) Presents the idea of storing blood as acceptable (maybe it is now???) They talked about a procedure of vacumming up the spilled blood during the operation, cleaning it, and restoring it to the body of the patient. This is acceptable now? What about the notion of pouring the blood upon the ground (Lev 17:13)

  4) Was too self-glorifying. It ended as a pat-on-the-back to the JW's for changing the concept of surgery. (LOL)

  5) No statistics presented to prove the advantages of bloodless surgery over traditional surgery.

  My wife's opinion: No facts or proof presented to back their claims. And the case study of the old lady who had an operation almost dropped her on the floor in laughter. They described some type of routine operation, which wouldn't require blood for anybody, and presented it as a medical break through.

  Any other thoughts on this video?

  Another WTBTS False Teaching...

  by AGuest in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i cannot remember the exact date of when the "society" once again attempted to fulfill revelation 22:18, 19 (and succeeded) with this teaching (i truthfully do not think of them very often anymore), but i am compelled by the spirit of my father, the holy one of israel, jah of armies, holy spirit, that is in me by means of my lord, his son, jaheshua mischajah, to point out yet another 'error'.. some time ago, the "society" taught a 'change' in the meaning of the words at luke 2:14. to wit, they said (and, thus, so does the nwt), that the true wording is:.

  "glory in the heights above to god, and upon earth peace.

  peace among men of good will.".

  I can go faster and farther on my mountain bike, and get fit while I'm at it.

  What do you do in the rain, cold, snow etc? Get wet, and cold! I don't thing this IT thing will go over very well.
