Relapse: I'm considering returning to the Kingdom Hall.
by Blue Grass ini'm a long time lurking of this site(2 years) and a first time poster.
to provide a little background of myself i was not raised as a witness but started studying when i was 19 and got baptized at age 21. a few months after i was baptized i left due to the constant worship of the faithful and discreet slave and the lack of emphasis on christ.
for reasons i'm not sure about yet i decided to attend the district convention last week.

Name Things JWs Believe That Are Not Actually Biblically Provable
by minimus inhere's one example: being a congregation publisher.
nowhere in the bible does it say you should be a "publisher" and turn in your time if you preach.
they try to twist the scriptures by saying that numbers are constantly being recorded in the bible so then conforming to the rules of being a publisher is from the scriptures.. yeah, right..

Witnessing to a Witness
by cluless inif i meet a witness on the street who doesnt know me i approach them with a list of each of the translaters of the new world translation and there lack of knowledge of greek and hebrew.
(i keep this list in my wallett) i then show the witness variouse scriptures that have been changed in their bible to support organisational doctrine.
i reafirm to them that the translating committe in their own bible claim to have translated from the orional greek and hebrew but had no knowledge of greek or hebrew.. i then leave my mobile number and ask them to phone me to prove what i have said is incorrect and then i would be happy to study the bible with them.

unleavened bread and fermented wine at the Memorial
by Guest with Questions inmy mom who comes to church with us every week for the last 6 months or so has been harping about the leavened bread that some churches use.
i sometimes wonder why she comes with us because she criticizes so much.
i wouldn't, but i have had moments when i felt like saying that maybe she should go back to the hall.

Watch out for a new WT clampdown on the ANTICHRIST . . .
by nicolaou inthe wt has for years labelled opposing former members as 'apostates'.
i don't need to elaborate on how effective this tactic is in controlling the attitudes of those still 'in' through fear.. but as ever in the cultish world of the watchtower, the identity of an enemy is redifined, focus shifts and views once patronised now snap clearly between the crosshairs.
.. for decades, one of the biggest headaches the wt faced was exposure of it's teachings as extra or non-biblical.
