help with ngo!!!
by mindfield inhi everyone!
well, im a newbie here, so ill make this short!
ive showed my mom the ngo status the watchtower shared with the un for 10 years now... of course, shes now denying it was a bad decision... she says the un is bad as a whole, but joining in as an ngo is okay since its not directly with the un... any tips?

New Light and the UN
by individual inhttp://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?d=9882&site=3#117571.
the link above is from a thread in bible reseach posted by bible examiner last month concerning impending new light on the 'disgusting thing standing in a holy place' and how it is no longer going to be the un but has had its fulfillment completely in the first century.
this apparently was from a talk given by a circuit overseer.. why this is interesting is because, at the time the information concerning the un and the wt was not widely known on this site.

Questions about the WTS and the UN
by Leander ini just learned about the society's connection with the un and i'm shocked.
i had been experiencing doubts before but this new information is like a slap in the face.
before i begin with the questions i should probably start with a introduction.. i'm a 29 year old married man serving as a minsterial servant in the south suburbs of chicago.

The Central Doctrine
by gibsite ini posted the following on "beliefs doctrines & practices" and the silence was deafening.
perhaps someone here is willing to comment ?.
"i have no wish to appear disrespectful to jehovah's witnesses but as a recent "study" i have to take issue with them on their central doctrine.. anybody with even a basic understanding of historical chronology is aware that the dating of events in ancient history is done purely on a relative basis.

Life in a small town
by Belmont inwe live in a small town in england where for 30 years we were stalwarts of the local congregation, and then walked away, not df'd or da'd.
there is virtually only one main street, and the reaction of the jws to us is a lesson in human behaviour.
some ostentatiously shun us, some "love bomb" us, and one elder whom we have known since he was 10 years old, actually walked away when we spoke to him.

Shephering Visit - Update
by stevieb1 inyou may have read my thread from last week entitled "my personal turmoil" in which i discussed my congregation elders wanting to meet with me to "encourage" me to believe that jehovah is using the watchtower society as his organization.
i said in that thread that i had told them to leave me alone, well anyway on tuesday night the same elder phoned me to accept a "shephering visit" and again i refused.
not taking no for an answer he approached me again in the kingdom hall on thursday and told me that i must accept a shepherding visit out of necessity because i was in spiritual danger and the elders wanted to "help".
