WT Nov 4 Study Article - Damage Control??
by Tish injust been given this watchtower and found the 2nd study article very interesting..... is this the societies damage control to panorama and dateline?.
para 8 onwards says...... 8 satan tries to break our integrity through the sowing of doubts about what we have been taught.
today, as in the first century, apostates and others seek to destroy the faith of the guideless ones.

STRATERGY FOR DISFELLOWSHIPPED ONES
by minimus inone thing that i've learned within the last couple of years, is that there is power here.
the exposing of the united nations connection was huge.
the pedophile problem in the organization is known because certain people got out and did something about it.

Only JW's Honest - Perpetuating the Stereotype
by NeonMadman in.
the back cover of the august 15 watchtower offers another example of mind control, reinforcing the concept that there are no honest people except for jehovah's witnesses, and that there is no crime within the organization ("if all people were jehovah's witnesses, who would commit crimes?"):.
don't it make you wanna hurl?

To a Dear Friend in Riverside called Cliff K.
by FrankRaven in.
greetings cliff......it's been over 26 years since we lived next door to you on hall.i'm just wondering how your doing now days?still a watchtower follower?
(witness)today i'm an ordained minister and i follow after christ.never really liked the idea of following a man made org.. remember when we last talked?about 1987 or 1988?you moved,i believe, over to cyn crest area?remember when you told me how many people left because they were disfellowshipped or walked away from jehovah?well they really left the watchtower and not jehovah god.how do i know?simple,watchtower lies to all of their members in order to control them.. just one more thought.......luke 24:39,tells us that christ came back not as a spirit,but as he left to die.it's called resurrection.if christ came back in any other form he would have been reincarnation.. check it out........with christ......

Did Franz deliberatly alter the Bible?
by sleepy inits taken as certain by most that the new world translaion is the work of fred franz.. now there are some funny expresions and words he chose to use in that translaion , that most people dont normaly use.but these words and expresions have been turned into catch-phrases by the witnesse, did he choose certain words when others wold have been more accurate in order to do this?
(the expression jehovahs witnesses had already been taken from the bible and used as a "special" phrase).
i wonder more though,did old franz choose these words insead of more common expresions in order to use them to deliberatly make some parts of the bible you woldn't normally link?for example the use of the word time or times in daniel, luke and revelation.is it really the same word that is used in tthe original language or could it be translated a different way, but "times" was used to make the link between them so it would fit in with their ideas on prophecy?are more instances of this in the new world translation?

God's channel withholding information
by ballistic inover the history of the watchtower society, they have published numerous medical articles with warnings of dangerous substances such as aluminium and others promoting quack medicines which never worked.
is it not strange, that the people choosen as "god's channel" would get these things wrong?
even stranger is the lack of information on truly dangerous substances.

Resurrection or Reincarnation.........
by FrankRaven infolks,over the years,seem to think that they must change meanings and words so the words will fit their own truths.they think truth is relative.but the real facts remain that even though some people think truth is relative,at the same time truth is always open and anything else but truths is a lie.. from a hindu's point of reference reincarnation is a cycle of life in which when we die,we are reborn into another life.it matters not if the next life is improved or not.and returns with a new body,soul,or whatever karma allows itself to be.. resurrection,as in christ,means christ returned as he left.luke 24:39,makes that statement.
"and he said to them,"why are you troubled?and why do doubts arise in your hearts?behold my hands,my feet that it is i myself handle me and see...for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see i have.
reincarnation is coming back,after death in something new.resurrection is coming back the same way.. wt or watchtower followers are famous in creating something from nothing out of the bible.they have changed their theology doctrine many times.and those who listen to watchtower is basically a watchtower follower.. so basically,as in luke 24:39,if we believe or teach that christ came back any other way,then we teach heretical blasphemy.
