trumpet blasts of Revelation
by Cellist inwhen they did the "corrections" to the revelation - grand climax book, did they straighten out the order of the trumpets?
i actually never noticed while we were studying the book that a few of the trumpeters were antsy and sounded their trumpets prematurely.
it was a qfr that alerted us to another thing wrong with their interpretation.

EXPOSED: THE WT tweaks verses to fit their own agenda.
by pixel inok, here's something i noticed when i was in the book study this week, related to the "seven time" prophecy, the verses are daniel 4:19-32.
related to the interpretation of nebuchadnezzar's dream, daniel wish the dream to apply to those who hate nebuchadnezzar and the interpretation, to his adversaries.
verse 22 says explicitly that the big tree is him, nebuchadnezzar.

JWs: Saying One Thing But Doing Another
by minimus injws say to do research in society publications and the bible but when you do research and see something that doesn't make sense that is being taught, and you question it----you are told not to research and leave things in jehovah's hands so that he can help you to understand things according to his will.
if you research or even read an older publication printed by "the slave", and you express that there is a different thought or viewpoint or even a "flip-flop" in understanding, you will be counseled to keep such observations to yourself.. have you seen examples of jws telling you to do one thing but in reality doing just the opposite?.

Why Some Stay In The Organization
by Outaservice indon't you think a lot of brother's stay with the watchtower because in the real world they would never be anybody so-to-speak.
they would never even attain their '15 minutes of fame' that many have.. but, at the hall, they get to get up in front of an audience, and people listen to them as if they really have something to say!
and they're given a 'title' such as elder, ministerial servant, microphone handler (wow) etc.

MAT. 24:14 FULLFILED - MIAMI ASSEMBLY
by pixel ini was talking this morning while i was preaching with this sister, and she asked me: do you know that the preaching work will be done soon?
i asked her: what do you mean?
she responded back: a sister (and i know her also) told me that her brother heard that the preaching is gonna be over because there are only two countries that jw can't go because it's too dangerous and yada yada yada.

Research question on "true religion"--for exWitnesses
by IsaacJS2 ini am nearly done with my writing project about why i went from a jw to an atheist.
whether you are an atheist or not, i was just wondering what you thought about the biblical signs that the society points to as proof that it is the "true religion.
" the essay is basically a breakdown of why i reject the society's claim to being the "true religion" and i was looking for specific arguments that i hadn't already thought of.. i'm tempted to post this essay somewhere once it's complete, but i don't know where i would since it's looking to be between 40-50 pages long.

Watchtower misquotes really make me mad !
by BluesBrother inthe feb 1st wt has a banner headline on the cover "must we always tell the truth" - inside it says (p1) "' i hate lies and i hate being lied to" exclaimed a 16 year old girl" ... so , o.k.
we must expect that anyone printing such things must themselves be absolutely honest and truthful .. so why do they use misleading quotations that are, practice, nothing short of lies?
many have been documented but this one came my way recently while using another thread .. the book "let your kingdom come" has an appendix dealing with babylonian and jewish chronology .
