2 Scriptures to De-Rail the Organization's Claim that their Child Abuse Claims are based on Scripture
by LAWHFol inmr.jackson was quite adamant, to his claim that the witness's policies are based on the scriptures.
if these scriptures have already been brought up, i apologize, but if not i feel that they are valuable.. 1. regarding the 2 witness rule :.
the witnesses use scriptures like deuteronomy 19:15 to support their adherence to the 2 witness rule this scripture clearly emphasizes the necessity of 2 or 3 witnesses, however there are reasonable exceptions.. one example is in deuteronomy 22:23 & 22:25. verse 23 says "if there is a betrothed virgin, and a man meets her in the city and lies with her,".

There's something very bizarre about Watchtower's use of the word pioneer.
by Island Man ini have researched the meaning of the word pioneer in a number of online references.
none of the meanings seem to match watchtower's use of the word.
the word refers to persons who are trailblazers; persons who are the first to settle new territory; persons who initiate some new field or technology.. jws' use of the term to refer to publishers who spend a long time preaching every month, does not in the slightest bit, match the definition.

Annointed
by Lieu ini was looking over rev chpt 6 .... and have always wondered how wt articles could say gb members recieved their heavenly reward when absolutely none of them had met a violent death upholding the name of christ.
as a matter of fact, gb members have had a pretty easy if not extremely comfortable life without physical persecution (they always let the rank and file be the ones killed).
they basically have existed like hermits.. anyway, the verse that catches my eye is 11 where it states for the holy ones to rest a while longer until the number was filled also of their fellow slaves and their brothers who were about to be killed as they also had been.. just curious because all the true christians (those who would not change their faith in god and christ) died by violence, throughout the ages.

Weird Wording - The Authority of the Watch Tower Society
by berrygerry inso, while pulling up old articles on the baptism post, and the necessity of this step, i see this strange sentence:.
neither the watch tower society nor any human today can lessen the force of that indication of god’s will.
(wt jan 15, 1971, page 64).. so, are there then other scriptural areas that the watch tower society can lessen god's will?.

nonjw married to a jw, video by Critical Thinker - excellent!
by nonjwspouse ini just came across this today.
it is a recent addition to the channel.
it accurately describes the troubles of a non-aware, non-jw marrying a disfellowshipped jw who then turns around and feels the need to become reinstated.
