How many different books have been published by the watchtower society?

by outlander in

i know there has been a lot, but does anyone actually have any idea?

to make it easier, lets omit books published before say 1960. that gives 50 years worth of books.

i wonder how many books it takes to teach the word of god door to door, and how many just find new ways to say the same things?

Only Baptised JW's make it through Armageddon

by ForbiddenFruit in

i remember the day that i first found out about this teaching.

it was during a co's visit, he got up on the platform, and made it absolutely clear that the only way to get into paradise was to be a baptised jw (he had a letter from the borg saying this).

i was confused by this, and the next day i was set to work with him in the ministry.

Training us better to talk to people at the doors.

by life is to short in

ok so many of you did not mind sitting and wasting time in a car while out in service because it beat banging on doors and trying to convince someone to join a religion that at least i could not fully explain even to myself much less someone else.

i agree sitting in a car beat banging on doors hands down.

but was it not crazy going door to door.

i've been thinking about this quote (usually attributed to voltaire).

my last employer was never satisfied with good, he always found a way to demand more.

the wtbs has the same problem.

under watchtower doctrine, during the 1960s and 1970s witnesses in the african nation of malawi suffered terrible crimes against them for refusing to purchase malawi congress party cards.

how many participants here have ever viewed a malawi congress party card both inside and outside?.

Satan's email address?

by transhuman68 in

jw
friends

i have been trying to contact satan: i wanted to ask him about a couple of posters we have here, and i thought that since the internet is so evil, he must be logged on somewhere.

i have tried '[email protected]' and '[email protected] ' but i can't get through.

maybe the phone lines to hell are running hot?.

peaches

you'll get the devil if you use the email.....www.watch/awake the big D.net.....be sure to use NET...not COM.... peaches

Talked to an OLD friend...he has NO desire to 'return' to the fold either!!

by babygirl30 in

jw
friends

there was a family in my cong that i was really close to...dad's an elder, mom's a pioneer, they had a son and daughter.

about 5yrs ago though, when i was still in my jw trance - the son married a non-jw and faded while the daughter was df'd.

due to my judgemental training, i 'shunned' both of them out of duty (not because i didn't care about them).

Will my grief ever end?...

by Lozhasleft in

ok so my youngest daughter (17) has been enveloped by her 'spiritual' older siblings and at the same time convinced that her mum is an evil disfellowshipped harlot.... its gutted me for the past 8 months ...i miss her dreadfully and worry so much about her...i thought she knew me better and that we had an unbreakable bond ....the things she's said to me in emails and texts have torn me apart and i cant keep going back for more...much as i love her i cant continue to be a punch bag...it would kill me to go through anymore abuse..... currently she's getting involved via facebook with some of my new hubby's family (not jws) ...i think there's trouble ahead..... loz x.

WOW!! The Finished Mystery SCAN showing Jesus was WORSHIPPED and was THE GOD!!!

by Lady Liberty in

unbelievable!!.

just came across this tidbit from the finished mystery, from the organization, in the early years.

keep in mind that these bible students were supposedly selected out of all mankind on the earth to feed christs sheep at the proper time, with "spiritual food"...here is some of that "food" that was supposedly from christ himself:.

thank you for the information....
