Why do Jehovah's Witnesses lie to recruits?
by jerome infirst let me say this.. i have constantly been hearing of the legendary honesty/intergity of the jehovah's witness for some time now.
i have also been informed that they are the happiest people on the entire earth.. my problem is this:.
when a jehovah's witness comes to your door and you actually decide to give them a few moments of your time they never give the whole story as to what you would be getting involved with when you join the watchtower.. case in point.

numbers 31 poll
by jerome inin numbers 31 god orders the isrealites to to attack the midianites apparently because hes fed up with them.. here are the points to consider.. 1) all the adult males are killed to begin with.. 2) the spare the women and children.. 3) god gets mad because they spared the women and children and he causes a plague.. 4) they kill all the females who have "known" an man by lying with him.. 5) the kill the male childre.. 6) finally they keep the females who have not known a man by lying with him.. here is a link to a site that discusses the problem in limited detale.. http://www.apologeticspress.org/abdiscr/abdiscr69.html.
(if you have a link to a watchtower article that discusses the matter please post it.).
after reading that explaination of what happened do you:.

Long time now see.
by jerome ini used to post frequently here on jw.com, that was about 4 - 5 months ago i think, it was around the time when dateline had just aired for the first time, i rember that being the main hype.
i left because posting on this board was eating up alot of my time.
the topic of religion was so interesting that it became addictive and i would read posts on this board for hours.

Voice your opinion- Organised religion.
by jerome inmy main problem with organised religion is when totalitarianism comes into play.
thats when you get institutions like the catholic church in its earlier years.
that should never be allowed.. jerome

Simply Unbeleviable Watchtower Quote.
by jerome injune 1, 2001 watchtower.. whose standards can you trust?.
on the cover page it features a preacher holding a bible in his left hand and a chain with a cross pendant around his neck, a woman campaiging for an election, and a woman in the supermarket examining produce.. the words can you trust as you can see are in red for emphasis.. page four.
a lesson from the law.

Question about WT study.
by jerome ini read a thread recently where syn was discussing a watchtower book study.. is it really true that they ask you the questions at the end of the chapter and make you restate the a few sentences directly from the few paragraphs that you just read as the anwser?.
was syn neglecting anything of importance that would be needed to make a more accurate assesment of the situation?.
because reading back something that youve just read dosent sound very challenging.
