The worldwide unity of Jehovah's Witness
by paul from cleveland ineverything i read on this website and elsewhere indicates that the witness are extremely united in doctrine and practices worldwide.
when i'm reading comments here, i have no idea whether the person is posting from the us or some other part of the world (unless they say so).
everyone's experience seems to be the same wherever they live.

Submission of Women
by TJ Curioso inwe all know what says ephesians 5:21-23 (nwt):.
21 be in subjection to one another in fear of christ.
22 let wives be in subjection to their husbands as to the lord, 23 because a husband is head of his wife as the christ also is head of the congregation, he being a savior of [this] body.. others translations like kjv, read something like the nwt.. in the other day, i cross with some information in the net (youtube and other pages of religious ministers) about the subject of women's subjection to the men (husband) and saw that some people say that in the original greek the word subjection don't appear in the vers.

What if Jehvovah was a God approved guardian/king?
by EndofMysteries inin thinking outside the box, i've came upon a few scriptures this week.
what if "god" doesn't mean what we think it means?
i've noticed that jehovah/god is always calling himself the god of the israelites, their god, or the god of the earth.

who knew a wife who was in a domestic violence situation while a jw
by looloo ini knew a girl who got married at 19 despite objections from the elders , they got disfellowshipped and reinstated after 18 months , he chose her clothes and would not allow her any money , he insisted on doing the food shopping with her , he hit her if tea was not on the table when he returned from work , he broke her nose once when she was holding her 2 year old child , when she approached the elders , onesaid to her "what are you complaining about ,he hasnt broke every bone in your body , there are sisters who put up with much worse !
if a jw man is not supposed to be violent why would they not give him a telling off ?.

A WAR you never heard about: judge for yourselves THE TRUE STORY
by Terry inwhen jehovah's witnesses began distributing door to door the new world translation beginning in the early 1950's a firestorm of protest broke out in mainstream churches.
the alarm cry was "they've changed the bible to fit their own crooked teachings!".
you can imagine the discord as church members tried to figure out how jehovah's witnesses could prove by reading from the nwt the king james version was full of ommissions and errors and outright fraud concerning, for instance, the trinity doctrine or the name of god!!.
