Do all people go to heaven - my wife has started her "Bible Study"
by insearchoftruth inok, just got off the phone with my wife and she has started a new bible study with still another new sister.
she likes this woman, unfortunately.
well my wife's original intention was to learn how to study the bible, well it seems that the sister twisted this to ask her to provide a topic she wants to know more about and then she will show my wife what the bible says about this.

What exactly is Apostasy! by definition of the WitchTower?
by Number1Anarchist inmy eyes really started to open up when i discovered we were not studying the bible but witchtower literature.
so 99 percent of what you study is man made material uninspired by jehovah.the only time the bible is referred to is to support the literature.
they offer free bible studies but once again your not studying the bible your studying witchtower literature so in reality they should say would you like to study our witchtower literature and refer to the bible ever now and again.

Noah's Ark a full time building project, so where did Noah get his food?
by VM44 inhere is a question about noah and his ark building project.. building an ark would be a full time job!
and not just building it, the materials that made up the ark had to be collected and fashioned, they just weren't laying about!..
ok, but what about the food, housing and clothing for noah and his family?

Witless numbers are not in decline - nobody leaves the Truth.
by hamsterbait inas was pointed out at the circus a$$embly, people are leaving the churches in droves, yet only the constant increase in witless numbers was noted.. why is this?.
are we too dumb to realize that if somebody stops going to the kingdumb hell and starts living the way they choose, they are not really witlesses, and therefore no witlesses ever leave?.
or, as freddie f might have argued - bless his rotting dead heart - think of zeno:.

What does one need to interpret the Bible?
by insearchoftruth ini have posted some thoughts on this on earlier threads, but the pesky jws have approached my wife about a bible study again, but my wife has let them know that this time she wants to learn how to read the bible and then after she is able to do that, she may consider some of the other books.
i have a couple of concerns about this, firstly, from what i know, the jws consider reading thier literature on a par with reading the bible, in fact i am pretty sure that they will try to lead her back to the bible teach book and let her know that she is in essence getting the same 'food' this way as she would another way.. secondly, if she decides to study the bible, the questions from readers that has recently come out all but prohibiting independent bible study will most likely come into play.
witnessgirl provided a good course on this, let my wife know that we are going to read the bible, not study, which could be a loophole (but i doubt if she asks a jw about that they would see a difference, but my stubborn wife may), but i think my wife would say she wants to study, not read....... a pesky jw provided her with her copy of the insight books and she also has the reasoning book, but i want her to actually feel she can read the bible and take from it what the literature presents in itself, not the slant that any organization or person wants her to take from it, even though if she reads the nwt version (or really any version for that matter) there is already a man provided slant.
