unlike another post of someone trying to trick us into looking at the watchtower.org i am not doing that, i have an honest question regarding something that was on the site.

i was actually looking up missing verses and other information.

doing a little research of my own if you'd want to call it that.

What has Changed the most? This board or your perspective?
by AK - Jeff in
1. jw

we seem to go thru 'phases' here of 'i'm leaving because the board is changing' threads.

there is certainly a microcosm of social-evolution involved with any structured community, and that evolution may create in certain people a need to 'move on' [though often they are back rather soon after].. my assumption is though - in looking at the past threads and social environment here - that not much has really changed.

there seems to be a flux of energetic change at times.

The Bible - God's Word or Man's? - What Convinces You?
by sweet pea in
1. watchtower
2. bible
having believed the whole bible, hook, line and sinker all these years i get the impression many of you have come to the conclusion that we should take it with a pinch of salt and not hold to it so dogmatically.

and some possibly believe in it just as much as you did when you were a witness.

to save me some time please, lovely people, as i am very lazy - could you share with me why you do or don't believe in it - what evidence there is either way and if there are any particular books that you found helpful in coming to your conclusions?

Some "Upbuilding" Thoughts
by watson in

oh....the mindset of some of the brethren.

your opinion?

something to ponder isn't it strange how a 100.00 dollar bill seems like such a large amount when you put it in the contribution box, but such a small amount when you go shopping?.
