  You need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this system of things.

  There are other groups that don't believe in the Trinity or Hell.

  The distinctive of Jehovah's Witnesses is loyalty to the organization and the teaching that the GB is Jehovah's appointed faithful and discreet slave who must be obeyed without question.

  how many times did you see elders hounding congregation members to quit their jobs due to missing meetings?.

  my brother worked at a grocery store at 16 years old.

  he would miss tuesday's ministry school due to his work schedule.

  David Splane...''Put Up a Hard Fight for the Faith''

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  david splane comes out firing and is relentless as to the reasons why christianity was brought down.

  christianity was not broken down by persecution, but by false brothers and apostate teachings.

  today, jehovah's witnesses face the same danger from false brothers and apostates.

  If anybody takes action against someone who would threaten our young ones, and takes action to protect our young ones, it is Jehovah’s organization. We reject outright such lies.”
  

  In other words, once you decide it's "Jehovah's organization," you are forbidden to consider any evidence to the contrary.

  Of course, if you look at evidence BEFORE making up your mind whether it's really "Jehovah's organization," you aren't really interested in the truth and you are persecuting Jehovah's Witnesses, so they will kick the dust off their feet as they cut off further communication with you.

  with the current discussion if someone in his twenties can be elder or not.

  i'm interested in what a elder in jw land really do.

  all speeches already come in video format from headquarters.

  The job of an elder is to be a company man, obeying, teaching, and enforcing all the GB's directives.

  We are now around 25 years past the point when Armageddon was to arrive as PROMISED!

  absolute worst case scenario, the last of the generation that saw the events of 1914 would have died off would be in the mid to late 1990's!

  so we were told in the 1980's!

  so now we 3/4 of another generation past that!.

  Russell's measurement of the main passageway of the Great Pyramid changed by 40 inches from one edition of his book to the next in order to accommodate the doctrinal switch from 1874 to 1914.

  Maybe the GB should head to Egypt and measure it again.

  No telling what new light they could come up with...

  Can Jehovah's Witnesses explain the overlapping generation?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i found this interesting topic on the current views among jws regarding the overlapping generation.. the posts are hilarious.

  how do most jehovah's witnesses explain the overlapping generation?.

  i've asked a couple of jws to explain the overlapping generation and they directed me to the website jw------org.. either they don't know, or they do know but don't want to discuss it because they know it's bogus and embarrassing.. either way, surely they must know that this just extended the last days another 80 years from the time fred franz died.

  Maybe it came invisibly in 1975.

  If you didn't see it, you don't have "eyes of understanding."

  David Spane couldn't explain it coherently because it is nonsense, so how could the ordinary JW?

  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.
