Pastor Russell NOT the founder of JWs
by Double Edge in.
interesting site i found by some present day bible students that claim the jws shouldn't trace their beginnings back to charles russell..... i wonder what practicing jws would say if they read this (or would they really care)?.

Need help with Watchtower Quote
by Double Edge ini've seen the quote numerous times here, but can't seem to currently find it using the 'search' feature.
it's the one the watchtower uses regarding examining your own religion for the 'truth'.
it's meant for other religions, but i want to turn it around and use it for examining the jws.

Are All Non-JW's "Worldly"
by Double Edge inafter speaking with my jw friend, i asked "do you consider me a worldly person and not a true christian?".
they asked "what do you mean and where did you hear that".
i said that i had gotten into a conversation with some former (you all) jw's and they said that even though i attend church, jw's don't accept me as a 'true' christian and i'm called a worldly person.

DF announcements...Is this funny or sad?
by Double Edge insomething just struck me as being kind of funny, and never being a jw i'm not sure if it's amusing or sad.
in the various christian churches i've attended no ones 'departure' is ever announced unless there's a farewell or party, always 'positive' - wishing the departees 'good luck'.
am i getting this right...everytime someone is df'd or da'd an announcement is made, usually on thursday nights (or whenever).

Do JW's teach anything about their history?
by Double Edge ineveryone here seems to know a lot about jw history, but when i ask my friend (who was a convert) they don't seem to know too much.
do they teach a church history class on sundays or during the week?
(just curious...seems funny that my friend would convert from catholicism without knowing too much of the history)
