Some Antis are just as bad as JW's
by DIM inspecifically i am talking about the "apostates" or antis who plaster cars or send people things in the mail with the truth about "the truth".
to me, this seems exactly like the jw's banging on doors on a saturday morning.
exactly the same thing, just from the other end.

WT 4-01-02 article
by DB inin the april 1, 2002 issue of the watchtower, an article appears entitled "keep on serving jehovah with a steadfast heart".
paragraph 14 of this article states: "if jehovah's organization knowingly endorsed false teachings, advice to read the bible would never be given to jehovah's witnesses and those to whom they preach.".
i am withholding comment on this statement, because i'd like to hear from any who would like to post a response.

The Doorstep Presentation THAT TRULY WORKS!
by Focus ingreetings, dear worldly householder of the birdseed class, i'm a member of the great crowd of other sheep, or jonadabs (who are not marked in the forehead as would have been the case for one of the eternal remnant class of 144,000 whose membership was closed 64 years ago until new light from the great teacher of progressive revelation caused it to be understood that vacancies would from time to time occur), rendering sacred service to the ancient of days in the earthly courtyard of the spiritual temple by following the example of the fine shepherd and engaging as a member of the pioneer class in preaching the good news of the kingdom with the mouth-borne sword of the spirit now the 2,300 symbolic evenings have passed.

we have a lot of proof to justify this reasonable view, including evidence as yet undiscovered.

many of us know people who've been booted out just for expressing misgivings, lety alone outright denying this teaching.
almost as central, and as non-negotiable, is the teaching that only baptised jws can expect to survive the big a.. .
