Next time a JW knocks at your door.....
by yknot inwhy not accept the offer to study two jw books, in return that the caller study the franz books?
it would be fairly easy to set up a study schedule and questions.. what is the worse that could happen?
someone desparate enough for a study to agree or the caller getting back in the car and marking your house with a big fat red a on the territory map.. thank you for considering my moment of apostate evilness.. y.

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.

Blood and the WTBS
by yknot intoday i got into a discussion with our congregations biggest blood ban defenders, while sitting at the doctors office.
after lecturing me on not having a blood key chain, i mentioned about the flash of blood that happens when inserting an iv, that the blood was "transfused" back into the person.
she didn't believe me at first but the nurse confirmed the drops of blood.. this really upset her since she has been in the hospital quite a bit since aging.

Stumbled by 1995 "light", Researcher needs your insight!
by yknot inmy name is rodney wilson i am currently researching a graduate paper about the jehovah's witnesses and the recent "new light" on the application and interpretation of the 1914 "this generation shall not pass away" teaching.. .
i am particularly interested in hearing from anyone who was active in the watchtower society during the period in which this doctrine was reworked -- specifically the mid-1990s.
i am interested to learn how this change was made known to members; the impact it had on congregations; how much congregational discussion there was about it; the impact on members and membership; if it sowed seeds of doubt in member's mind, etc.. .

Is Eve automatically resurrected?
by yknot in1tim 2:14-15 adam was not deceived, but the woman was thoroughly deceived and came to be in transgression.
15however, she will be kept safe through childbearing, provided they continue in faith and love and sanctification along with soundness of mind.. so how do yall interpretate this scripture?.
is it saying that it was eve's fault, that adam was not deceived.
