Do Witnesses REALLY Care About Other People?
by minimus ini don't think so.. to me, the vast majority of jws become witnesses because they desire everlasting life.
they want to live in paradise.
they love feeling special.

Crocs and assisted suicide attempts
by RisingEagle inthey are the shoes that everyone loves to hate.
they are also the shoes that have fans that will disregard what others in this world say about them in regards to fashion and taste.
if you wear and love them, you just don't care, your feet are happy and that's all that matters.

The bible and israel
by jacethespace inas jehovahs witnesses we were told over and over that jws are gods modern day servants today and jehovahs using us to bring salvation to the world.we were also told that the words israel and jerusalem in prophecy for our day refer to spiritual israel and jerusalem, not fleshly israel.. but does bible prophecy show that?
especially in the old testament.. we know how charles taze russell traveled to israel to try and figure out whether they were gods chosen people still.this is highlighted especially in the jws proclaimers book.and the watchtower believed that israel were still gods people up until the 30s [ if anybody has any info on this and dates please let me know as im not sure when they dropped this belief exactly].charles taze russell in fact sent tracts to israel and the jews telling them that they could look forward to salvation.intresting point is that this was after jesus had apparently give his approvall to the faithfull and discrete slave channel.. zechariah 12:2 says behold i will make jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about.when they shall be in the siege both against jerusalem and against judah.12:3- and in that day will i make jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.. is this prophecy being fullfilled today through literal israel?.
but the most intresting chapter of zechariah is chapter 14 which speaks of the lords day and jesus second coming.it says:.

Revelation its ungrand climax
by ush419 ini have been reading the finished mystery lately and am not surprised at the nonsense displayed in it, it rivals the nonsense in the newer box revelation its grand climax.
i had thought that there was another book that covered revelation prior to this fiasco that came out in either the late 80's or early 90's.
if anyone knows pls to inform this one.

1919 Appointment? Need Clarification
by yknot inokay after having a discussion with a school mate about the witnesses, she challenged me to come up with "proof" of 1919. i have never really given thought to the 1919 thing, so i agree to the task.. cd, in computer, i start searching.
all i can find basically is self-applied scriptures.
next i call on a older sister who has wts dating back to 1910. i start pouring over the mags, and the books by rutherford, all the way until i reach 1930s.

Is the Love of Neighbor Why The Tower Banned Smoking?
by WTWizard inthe watchtower society cited two chief reasons why smoking should be a disfellowship offense.
first, it defiles the body.
second, it betrays a lack of love on account of the second hand smoke that pollutes the air for everyone else.. but, is this really so?
