  Crisis of Conscience page 23

  "the society's vice president, fred franz, was acknowledged as the organization's principal bible scholar.

  on a number of occasions i went to his office to inquire about points.

  to my surprise he frequently directed me to bible commentaries, saying, "why don't you see what adam clarke says, or what cooke says," or, if the subject primarily related to the hebrew scriptures, "what the socino commentaries say.".

  My Stuggling Life Story

  by Coreash in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  before i begin " my struggling life story" names have been changed to protect there identity.it all started for me at the age of about 10 when myself and most of my mates used to bother with the girls down the road.we all used to play as young children did but it was after the girls had gone in where we would sit around and chat and as boys do, used to ask who fancied who etc etc.

  well for me i wasn't that interested and thought nothing of it.

  it was only when i started comprehensive school did i notice that i was slightly different to all my mates/friends.

  "A Godly View of Sex and Marriage" would come around every so often. What is that, anyway? A bird's-eye view?

  DOES THE BIBLE really really EXIST?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the bible did not exist in jesus' day nor in the lifespan of his apostles.. people didn't walk around with one (bible) tucked under their arm.. christians didn't carry one (bible) door to door for preaching and teaching.. the closest thing to the bible was the septuigint greek translation of hebrew scriptures which not one person in a 10,000 had ever seen!.

  creation of the septuagint (wikipedia article).

  ...in the third century bce[6].

  Wait a minute - we've gone from "one generation" to "2 overlapping generations" and that "proves the end is close"?!?

  Exactly. This is what I find so dismal about it. People will take it without question, and spin it to fit their hopes. I doubt that many will wake up.

  My COBE cryptically referred to this upcoming change while meeting with me a few months back. Obviously the news from the annual meeting had reached him. He referred to as a "really exciting and wonderful" new understanding that proves how close to the end we are.

  Knowing him, and knowing most of the folks at my local hall, this will be hyped up and people will be all wide-eyed, amazed at this wonderful new light.

  I am losing hope for many of them.

  If the Watchtower truly collapsed, how would you deal with your JW relatives?

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  imagine the best case scenario.

  the watchtower society implodes from within even making final printed admissions that it is voluntarily dismantling it's mission and legally dissolving the corporations.

  oh happy day!
