Has anybody heard about the Hebrew word "Hovah"?
by brotherunsure in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i just tried to paste the link from a concordance but i guess it doesn't work on here but if you look up the hebrew word "hovah" it means ruin and disaster... given that, do you think jehovah is an appropriate thing to be calling the lord god?.

Does Jehovah hate beards?
by brotherunsure in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
has the watchtower ever rationalized their obsession with depilation or claimed there was a biblical basis for banning beards, or is it simply because jehovah's corporation/faithful and discrete slave says so?.

Interesting Experience...
by TheClarinetist in
1. jw
2. friends
so my girlfriend and i were walking to the post office and this really quiet guy comes up and comments that he likes my shirt (black shirt that says "lucifer" in white text).

he then goes on to say that he's a monk and wants us to have this "free" book on meditation.

my girlfriend is big into meditation, so she's like "okay" and starts looking at it, and then he tells us that he can't give it to us unless we make a donation so that they can pay to print another book.

Kingdom Interlinear = apostate literature?
by brotherunsure in
1. watchtower
2. bible
has anybody else come across jdubs that have never heard of the kingdom interlinear translation?

i noticed this artcle http://www.soundwitness.org/jw/kit_part1.htm and i've found when i asked witnesses about it some never heard of it and other's had heard of it but didn't have one and didn't know if they were still in print and one got all weird and suspicious saying "well what do you want it for?".

when i called the watchtower and asked if it was still in print the guy had to put me on hold and look it up somewhere, he didn't know off the top of his head.

WTBTS NEEDS MONEY NOW !

reading about the mass amounts of money involved in all this acquisition of blocks of properties... in new york city no less, .

is so contrary to how the organization expects it's loyal "servants" to live their lives, .... it is shocking!!

these buildings are, for the most part (maybe all) renovated with free labour and then sold for great fortunes.
