Is this a Jw website or what?

this website is odd.

it seems to be the witnesses, but maybe not?

honestly i don't know what to make of it.

A Biblically-based community focused on prophetic truths revealing the imminent return of the Saviour.

Site is set up by this group:

http://www.worldslastchance.com/

"We do not belong nor lead to any denomination. We are dissatisfied with the watered-down truths preached in churches and thirst for Yahuwah’s undiluted word. We used to be members of the Seventh Day Adventist Church until we realized that this church also rejected and subverted many Bible truths. The decision to withdraw our membership and separate was not easy and was made only after much prayer and research."

What really ended the book study in private homes?

by Alfred in

it's been over 3 years since the book study in private homes was discontinued and some jws are still scratching their heads over it.

although a letter was read to all congregations explaining that "book study night" would now be "family worship night", there was still much speculation among jws as to the real reason behind this decision (the great tribulation was about to start, jehovah was simplifying the lives of jws, to lessen the burden of poor jws who had no money for gas, etc.)...

but as we all know, decisions like these from the gb invariably have some ulterior motive behind it... and discussion boards such as this one usually finds a way to dig up the truth for all to see... but after reading several threads on this subject, i'm really not sure we've uncovered all the facts yet.... so i have to ask... what do you believe really ended the book study in private homes?

Comments from a real JW about the killing of apostates watchtower. You will be shocked..

by Hairyhegoat in

this is a very good find from another jw only web site i have access to... hey i just found this on a link of my mom's that she is "friends" with, yes, still a jw...anyway, i had to copy/paste it so you could all see, thought it was a bit hilarious to see how they blatantly speak of keeping info from "outsiders.

" i did not copy the name of the person since that is not my point and i am not that disrespectful, but i did copy their comment...they were discussing the wt about killing all apostates and someone that was studying asked a question as to whether they all thought that was right or not, so here it is..............."james... although its a great article and very encouraging, as apostates do deserve to be murdered, it may not be such a good idea to reveal it our friend zeek at this moment.

he may find it a tad over the top.

Hamsterbait asked:

How often did you ever see the word "indoctrinate" in the litterature?

from Watchtower 2010 CD-ROM:

Indoctrinate - 12, Indoctrinated - 45, Indoctrinating - 7, Indoctrination - 47

Most refer to Catholics and Catholicism.

Inactive, yet shunned!

by TimothyT in

my dad (49) (who was an elder for 10 year and hasnt been to the meetings now since april when i stopped going) sent a message to a younger unbaptised brother (19) in my congregation to see if they would like to get together and jam on their guitars.

the younger brother responded that he would like to but since my dad hasnt been to the meetings in a long time he feels its innapropriate.. needless to say my dad was a little pi**ed but at the same time he cant understand how he is also now being shunned despite the fact that he isnt even disfellowshipped.

why do these people show such conditional love when jesus taught the absolute opposite?.

fokyc

Inactive = not interested = self disassociation

Quite normal lately.

Is the WT a "spiritual paradise"?

by Fernando in

why is it near impossible to find a person in this "spiritual paradise" that has the "good news according to paul" in their hearts and on their lips?.

not a big deal?.

to paul it was!.

Jehovah only accepts perfect items as sacrifices; so it should be the one standing.

(S ince they have now removed the mag from jw.org my explanation might be slightly inaccurate.)

The Faithful and Discreet Slave - A JW Myth

by 00DAD in

probably this topic has been dealt with before, but i'm relatively new here, so perhaps y'all will be willing to indulge me in my pursuit for clarity.

regarding the anointed, the gb recently said this: .

"we thus have no way of knowing the exact number of anointed ones on earth; nor do we need to know.
