I think that since the Jehovah's Witnesses have repeated the bs mantra that their Bible Studies are the best education you can get, and that they are discouraging schoolchildren from preparing for college that they need to put their money where thier mouth is. I think they are secretly preparing to branch out into accredited online education in order to stem the tide of neglected disfellowshipped young people. They have painted themselves into a corner on education and are on their way to becoming like the Old Order Amish and the Boboshanti Rastafarians where young people go astray as gangsters to earn their fortune and then 'go legit' with enough ill gotten gains to raise a family.

Will JW.ORG actually harm the WT Society Long Term ?
by flipper inmy son and i were discussing this yesterday over coffee.
since the wt society in previous years virtually demonized going on the internet at all for jw's - now wt leaders are doing a complete turn around or about face probably so as to " compete " or keep up with all the anti-jw websites that are out there to give the wt society point of view.. however- it very well may backfire on them as once people start doing google searches looking for jw.org it will bring up all the other websites dealing with any jw issues and in the privacy of their own homes out of curiosity i'm sure lots of jw's are going to want to check out some of these sites to see what all the " apostate " hoopla is all about.
i wonder how many jw's will do this and will it have an effect in opening more minds to other views ?

When you say beard is that the gay meaning or the theocratese meaning? To gays a beard means a female date to hide your true Identity, to JWs I think it it means an outsider but as a bearded outsider I wouldn't know because they would never use it in that context in earshot of me, to middle easterners it means a fuddy duddy preacher of any faith.

A vote on Scottish Independence shouldn't have happened until the whole Northern Ireland thing gets resolved. An independent Ulster would have made a lot more sense looking at it from this side of the pond.

I'm talking about a show on Adult Swim with a weave-headed Jesus in Compton who turns water into cognac and knows what everyone else is thinking, who despite the best of intentions annoys his faithless followers.

Leaving the Pound for the Euro doesn't make sense. But the Scots are good with money, they'll figure it out. Who knows, maybe they will issue a new and better currency than the Pound.

I remember the atheist who kept all the commands of the Bible for a year. The best part was when an old man told him that he used to cheat on his late wife and the guy started tossing pebbles at him so that he could keep the commandment to stone the adulterer. Everyone around thought he was crazy.

How would you summarize the basic message of the Watchtower versus the Bible?
by Fernando infor me personally:.
watchtower - don't sin, don't question, don't think, don't reason, don't leave, or god will kill you in hell the big a.. bible - all dysfunction aka the "bad news" has been legally defeated by the "good news".. (i believe we are therefore free to begin naturally and progressively transitioning from a primitive type-0 civilisation if and when we choose to and when consensus reaches critical mass.
we will become a more advanced type-1 civilisation in the next 100 years according to michio kaku in "physics of the future".).

The Bible :God became man so that man might become Godly by practicing unconditional love.
The Watchtower: God is a harsh father whose love is conditional, so you better meet all his conditions without question, which obviously carries over into how JW parents raise their kids.

DO JW's do a FAIR job of SAVING people--or--is the premise ridiculous?
by Terry infigures don't lie...but liars figure!.
the message for those babies who are now in their 30's and 40's is that "we warned your parents about a date that meant nothing!".
how does that wash credibility-wise?.

Maybe in non-christian countries, but now that we live in the information age, any christian can google the right rebuttal. In area with educated people it is a waste of time. So they can say the homeless are closer to God. But today even the homeless have smartphones!
