  Email?

  by QuestioningHere in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i have read all the rules and terms of service etc before asking this, and there was also a topic about it from five months ago so i figure it's ok. i'm not sure with subject area it was supposed to go in, so i went in the watchtower one seeing as that's what it's about, but please correct me if i'm wrong as i don't want to break any rules accidently.

  i was also unsure if i could post on that thread seeing as it's an old one.. has anyone had any success trying to get hold of the jw.org email(s)?

  i would like to contact them about some questions i have but they seem to not have one, and i'm too nervous to ring a phone number they have in case someone recognised me.

  Welcome!

  In case you weren't aware, most of the "Questions from Readers" in WT literature are written by the Bethel staff, not by average JWs.

  from today's daily wt text.. friday, december 31 2021.let your kingdom come.

  let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth.​—matt.

  6:10. christendom generally does not teach the scriptural truth that one day obedient humans will live forever on earth.

  How would the WT react?

  Remember that the WT is always right, even when it's wrong, and that everything is proof that it's God's organization.

  Hadn't Russell or Rutherford (I forget which) once taught that the moon was inhabited?

  The WT will say that this proves they were on the right track all along and that their teaching just needed the refinement of new light (it was Vulcan, not the moon).

  Oh, and by the way, Armageddon is just around the corner...

  New Article - Birthdays, Why the Watchtower stance is wrong

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a new article at http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/birthdays.php outlining why the watchtower stance against birthdays is wrong.

  there have been a number of threads on jwn discussing this, and the article collates and summarises the points raised in these threads.

  please feel free to point out any errors in grammar or logic.

  Romans 14:4-6 specifically says that what days a person does or doesn't celebrate is a matter of individual choice and conscience which should not be judged by people who choose differently: "Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God."

  Be on guard against copyright violation unless you want to be sued by the WT.

  Get some good legal advice before going to all that work and starting distribution.

  Why doesn't the GB just announce that the end came invisibly in 1914 and be done with it?

  do you think the watchtower will ban commenting at the meetings one day?

  if you are pimo, you might want to try to make some comments to make others think about the “truth”!

  It's one of the WT's main indoctrination tools.

  Only a parroting or mirroring of the printed material is allowed.

  Any deviation gets you marked, cut off from commenting, or even brought before a JC.

  Do Jehovah's really have true Bible studies?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  frequently asked questions.

  if i accept a bible study, will i be pressured to become one of jehovah’s witnesses?.

  jehovah’s witnesses love teaching people about the bible, but we never pressure anyone to join our religion.

  If you don't become a JW, you'll be wiped out by fireballs at Armageddon, but don't feel pressured to join...

  Just how much of a dramatic FLOP is this NEW LIGHT?

  your opinion, please, on the above video.

  1. before jesus, humans were judged either by the law (jews and converts) or by natural law (noahide law).

  I thought WT doctrine (based on a mistranslation of Romans 6:7) was that people's deaths acquit them of their past sins (the sins they committed in this life) and that those who make into into the 1000 year kingdom will only be judged on the basis of what they do during that kingdom rule. People will die during the millennial kingdom and there will be a final rebellion at the end, so quite a few of them will be doing vile things, right?

  Sometimes I wonder if the GB understand what they have been teaching for decades.
