Cult of Personality
by iamwhoiam init's funny how when you are able to take a step back an look at the big picture...you start to notice things that are just a bit wierd.. for instance...at the meeting the other night, we all sang song number 58 (notice the first verse).
then look at the songs in the rest of the songbook...and you will see that verses of this nature are in pretty much every other song.
keep singing these over and over at the kh and you begin to memorize them and eventually find yourself singing or humming them later without realizing it.

the most gobbledegook answer i have read in a long time! WT 1/15/1953
by Aussie Oz inwhat does solomon mean when he says he found a true man in a thousand, but never a true woman?j.k.,new.
this can hardly be taken to mean that men are better than women.
he is the one true, perfect man, and the only one that ever lived on the earth.

Everything is "Satan" ... Now what?
by roxanesophia infirstly, i'm a study who initially believed every word of the jw's.
figured "no other religion takes the time and effort to help people understand the bible by publishing the watchtower and the other literature" not realizing that all it does is pick and choose scriptures to suit whatever sentence they'd just written, which can be done using any book, not just the bible.
i felt foolish, after that.. .

The Great Day of Jehovah - the War to End All Wars
by sabastious infor most of my life i was taught that everything we experience in our lives is a build up to the great day of jehovah: armageddon.
i was informed, regularly, that this war would be when jehovah finally gets his vengeance from his advasary the devil.
as jehovah's witnesses were were taught that war is the solution, so long as the kingdom set up afterwards is eternally prosperous.

GLOBAL FLOOD . . . Did it Really Happen?
by sizemik inthis question became an off-topic sidetrack in another thread.
i thought it might be worth some debate so posted here .
the debate is basically between mainstream geological understanding of the earth's history and "young earth creationism" in particular with how the evidence relates to the occurrence of a global flood in the recent past.. a couple of points from the yec website www.icr.org are raised as examples in order to kick things off .

An in depth examination of THE PYRAMID nonsense of C.T.Russell
by Terry inin ancient times the easiest way to measure things was to use the most convenient measuring tools available that anybody could afford to own: your own body parts!.
yes, you could use your own foot to measure "feet".. .
you could use the width of your thumb to measure an inch (call it by whatever name you like.).

I don't get this...Jesus' birth and death
by poopsiecakes inforgive me if this topic has been raised before - and i'm still working it out in my head so bear with me.... conventional religions, including jw's, teach that jesus was 30 when he was baptized and began his ministry which lasted 3 years.
the year of jesus' death is said to be ad 33, which would make him 33. and that's what i've always understood.... even the wt of april 2011 says that according to 'modern calculations' the year of his birth is thought to be 2 bc and wikipedia says possibly as far back as 7 bc.
i've never heard anyone argue the fact that there's no way these dates add up.
