  ElPiro,

  Here is another interesting Bible Study:
  
  
  Isaiah 66:5
  Hear the word of Jehovah, YOU men who are trembling at his word: “YOUR brothers that are hating YOU, that are excluding YOU by reason of my name, said, ‘May Jehovah be glorified!’ He must also appear with rejoicing on YOUR part, and they are the ones that will be put to shame.”
  
  
  Questions:
  
  1/ Has the Watchtower Society and its Governing Body excluded (disfellowshipped) any brothers through the use of God's actual name?
  
  2/ Is there any other religion that excludes brothers through the use of God's actual name?
  
  3/ Who will be brought to shame, the brothers being excluded or the brothers doing the excluding?

  ElPiro,

  Here is another interesting Bible Study:
  
  Luke 12:49-50
  “I came to start a fire on the earth, and what more is there for me to wish if it has already been lighted? 50 Indeed, I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and how I am being distressed until it is finished!
  
  
  Questions:
  
  1/ For how long should Jesus Christs baptismal commandment be obeyed?
  
  2/ When is Jesus Christs baptismal commandment finished?
  
  3/ Has the Watchtower Society and its Governing Body done anything to Jesus Christs baptismal commandment which might cause him distress?

  ElPiro,

  Acts 4:12
  Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.
  
  
  Question:
  
  1/ Has the Watchtower Society insisted that another name under heaven has been given for which salvation is essential?
  
  2/ What is that name?

  ElPiro,

  Here is another interesting bible study:
  
  Matthew 28:17-20
  And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.
  
  
  Questions:
  
  1/ Has the Watchtower Society and its Governing Body obeyed Jesus Christs baptismal commandment?
  
  2/ If the Watchtower Society has changed the baptismal commandment will Jesus Christ still be: "with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things"?
  
  3/ Do the baptismal vows enter the actual Christian Temple?
  
  4/ If they do, then is it possible that a name representing "mere men" might also enter in among those vows?
  
  5/ If so, could those men be; "the sons of perdition" or modern day "called ones" who have lifted themselves up and publicly shown that they are also gods?

  ElPiro,

  Here is another very important scripture in the bible which comes with a command from Jesus Christ:
  
  Luke 21:7-8
  He said: “Look out that YOU are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time has approached.’ Do not go after them.
  
  Here are some questions:
  
  
  1/ Has the Watchtower Society and its Governing body ever claimed to speak for Jesus Christ?
  
  2/ Has the Watchtower Society and its Governing body ever announced that; "the due time has approached"?
  
  3/ Is it more important to obey Jesus Christ, or the men who claim to speak on his behalf?

  ElPiro,

  When studying 2nd Thessalonians Chapter 2 consider these questions:
  
  1/ Is it the true Christian Temple or the false Christian temple that gets undermined by a "man of lawlessness"?
  
  2/ Are Jehovah's Witnesses and their faithful and discreet slave in the true Christian Temple?
  
  3/ Is Satan successful because he undermined false religion or true religion?
  
  4/ If Satan is to undermine false religion then why did Paul bother warning those Christians who would be around immediately before Jesus Christ returns at the conclusion of the system of things?
  
  
  Do the Watchtower Publications REALLY answer those pertinent questions?
  
  
  Why not?

  Occasionally I see a youtube video of a complete unknown playing some really interesting tunes.

  Or a really great cover of an old tune.

  Maybe should start a thread just to see what other kind of music is out there.

  jwfacts,

  There are two newsletters designed to print on one letter size page, both sides at the following links.

  They were made with bible studies and "interested ones" in mind.

  I keep about 100 copies of each in my car and leave under windsheild wipers or at laundromats.

  They are available for download and republishing by anyone here:

  Born Ins vs Converts

  by Red Piller in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first of all, let me say that i do think this excuse of a religion is on a downward spiral, which will only accelerate.. as a born in, i always read comments here about how dedicated and hard-line we are.

  most of the born ins (who stayed) develop a casual attitude toward everything.

  even if you believe it, hearing about armageddon, constantly, doesn't excite you as much when it's the 1,000th time you've heard it.

  I was a convert.

  Had already spent most Saturday mornings hung over watching those cartoons.

  Loved getting up Saturday mornings and going out in service.

  Did not understand the casual attitude that many others in the congregation had.

  Eventually became dismayed at many of the injustices and hypocrisy I saw in my own Kingdom Hall.

  Voraciously studied the bible and Watchtower Publications.

  Eventually determined that the Governing Body must be; "the man of lawlessness" through trying to understand the JW baptism.

  Shared what I had learned with the congregation.

  Told them that we should obey Jesus Christs baptism.

  and of course was Disfellowshipped!

  Because I wanted to obey Jesus Christ.

  No, I am not an atheist.

  Instead I am convinced that what the bible says would happen in the final part of the days is REALLY HAPPENING!

  Just not the way the Watchtower Society would have us believe.

  There is nowhere else to turn to except Jesus Christ
