  Purchasing Zions Watchtower

  by concerbedbf in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  is it possible to purchase/obtain (zion's watch tower) reprints or bound volumes, from a source that a jw could not object to.

  the reason i ask is, i showd gf the article on freeminds "blacks and the watchtower".

  she was appaled and of course argued that these were not really written by russel or any jw (in good standing).

  Christianity w/o Christ = JW's

  by concerbedbf in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  im having a hard time understanding how someone or a group can read the bible and not have more then "obiesence" for jesus.

  i dont want to argue about if he exists or not.

  if you except the premise and the premise of the bible as inspired.

  Proir to th Donation Arrangement

  prior to the donation arrangement, what was their mode of operation.

  since my girlfirend emphatically denies that they have ever sold their publication and are not door to door saleman, im wondering how this was done?.

  if a pioneer was at you door trying to give you a magazine, did he ask for money?.

  Is manned space exploration a waste of money?

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was watching a program the other day, and it mentioned some interesting things about exploring space.

  1. nothing has been found on other planets that we need or would benefit from.

  rather the opposite, we have found hostile environments that would kill us.. 2. the cost to get a man to these places is astronomical, and not something that would reap benefit to our planet.. 3. so far, nothing within reasonable traveling distance has shown itself worth an effort that would require man, and would not be done easier with machine.. so with this in mind, other then the travel we see with the space shuttle in our own orbit, that has shown some medical breakthroughs and so on.

  what is the relationship between the two, was the proclaimers a rebuttle to coc and simlar arguments?.
