Does the WTS teach that Jehovah is only "Heavenly Father" to the 144k?
by yaddayadda ini don't know if it is my imagination or what, but i've started to notice something odd in recent wts literature (besides all the other odd things): .
i am struggling to find any mention in recent watchtower articles and publications of jehovah being referred to as the "heavenly father" of jehovah's witnesses!
for example, in the upcoming october 22-28 watchtower study article entitled "your father is merciful" (quoting from luke 6:36), god is not once referred to as "heavenly father" throughout the entire article!

Do you ever fear that they will kill you?
by NYer Girl ini've heard the jws referred to on this site mostly as a cult.
as such, am i the only one who fears that one day the society will tell them to eliminate all of us who have been deemed apostates?
i can think of several of my old "friends" who would not hesitate to take me out.

Elders really can keep personal matters confidential, right?
by oompa inless than one week after meeting with two elders who had been told of my visiting this site, a good friend called me.
he said his mother (age 73), in a different city from me, called him and told him she heard i was now an apostate.
now how the hell did that happen?

Beliefs, Honesty
by Hiddenwindow innot too long ago, i heard a district overseer say, at a circuit assembly, something astonishing; that he would continue to be a jehovahs witness even if it was proven to him that god does not exist.
his point was the organization and its moral standards protect people from a lot of trouble and that this by itself is very positive aspect.
i could not forget such a statement and, just as an exercise, started to pose the following scenario to some of my friends, including several ministerial servants an one elder: if you some how determine that this is not the truth, would you continue to be a witness?
