Remaining anointed persons diminishing?
by truthseeker1 inhow come every year during the memorial talk they say the number of partakers is dwindling.
if they just look back at the numbers in their own literature, its hovered around 8-9k, going up and down for decades.
example 2000: 8755 partakers.

Opening the Door
by trevor inopening the door.
in order to make the reasoning mechanism of a witness function, the facts you have must reach the mind.
if the wall cannot be penetrated, how do you reach the mind of the witness?.

Who has sayings of everlasting life?
by Pepper indespite all the problems i have had with many people in the jehovah's witness's religion, i would not know the basic truths that i have learned if it were not for jehovah's witness's.. the hope that learned, i still have; though i no longer attend the meetings i miss the meetings, personal and family problems that really no one other than god him self can fully understand at that time so many years ago.. i know now that i have atemped in the past to haave the brothers and sisters to understand what i my self could not grasp about my problems that perplexed me beyond what i could deal with.. sense that time i have also learned that it really is jehovah that i should render my service to and no one else, it him i must fuloly rely on for aid compleatly not humans.. thanks, pepper

John 3:16 and Matthew 24:45
by DanTheMan ini recently did a search of all wt publications on my 1995 wt cd-rom for these two scriptures.
which did you think had more hits?
1082 for matthew 24:45 vs. 723 for john 3:16. it just struck me funny how the wt puts way more emphasis on their "authority" scripture than they do the scripture that clearly should be the most important scripture of all for christians.

Jesus - Michael or God?
by Dawn ini've been researching this issue for myself - it's a doctrine i was still having problems understanding - is he or isn't he.... i came across a couple of interesting scriptures that i had not noticed before so thought i'd share them with ya'll:.
1) genesis 1:26 - then god said, "let us make man in our image..." i was taught as a jw that god was speaking to jesus (michael) here.
if that's true, and jesus/michael is an angel - that would mean that god created angels in his image also (since i refers to "image" as singular - it doesn't say images).

Latest Creationist Twaddle!
by badboy income courtesty of the philadelphia trumpet yesterday.. this stated in the improbability of evolution that` evolutions claim that chimpanzees are the closest living relatives to man, with a difference of 48 million nuceotides.. i understand that chimps only differ from humans by 54 nucleotides!.
(chimps and humans are supposed to have diverted 4/5 million years ago, so where have they got this twaddle from!
(i understand also that neanderthal man differed by approxiametly 25 nucleotides meaning mankind must be old).

i encourage all christians to investigate the possibility that the bible does not really teach that the whole earth was flooded at the time of noah.

After JWs--NOW WHAT???
by Smoldering Wick inok, it's been four years for me since i left the jws.
i have been so busy trying to recover from the blow of leaving and losing friends, religion, a social group etc., that i haven't considered (too much) about what's next.
i mean, i've tried to be open minded and listen to other people's beliefs hoping that somewhere/sometime/something would click.

Is the Faithful and Discreet Slave A "Clas...
by stevieb1 ini am shortly to have a discussion with a jw elder regarding the society's interpretation of the "faithful and discreet slave" i have already got some points i would like to share, but here i am asking for your collective assistance in refuting logically and scripturally the watchtower argument regarding the "slave class".. one comment that was raised was if we are told to get out of false religion (babylon the great) where are we to go to?.
please post serious and well reasoned replies if possible.
your brother in christ.
