  Why I'm rejoining the JWs

  by Fred Franztone in

  dear brothers and sisters.

  after many years outside of the truth, living as an atheist, i have come to realise that i have been on the wrong path.

  the fool has said in his heart that there is no god, and i have been a fool.

  Lol! Funny thing is, if you read the old classic Pilgrim’s Progress, it’s not much different from your story.

  I think it is noteworthy that the first time the words ‘ Jehovah’s Witness’ appeared in ant WT literature it was a reference to the Great Pyramid in the Studies. So in a way the name change was another part of the doctrinal changes that Rutherford engineered to distance the WT Bible Students from the non-JW Bible Students ( the evil slave, to use the terminology of the time period).

  It's curious that the 'w' of witnesses is not capitalized. I wonder when they started to capitalize it?

  They seemed pretty cautious to make the assumption that it is the Isaiah of the Bible, in the article I read. Unfortunately my subscription to BAR ( Biblical Archaeology review) has expired, so I missed the original article.

  given the numerous videos on youtube about all the scandals and controversies of the watchtower bible and tract society.

  are they headed to becoming one of the most infamous religious groups in the world for all the wrong reasons?.

  Mormons and Scientologists I think are beating out the JWs in public awareness of issues. Maybe if the ex JWs can get a Leah Remini on their side. So far the JWs is just boring.

  When did Watchtower writings start becoming anonymous?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think most people know that authorship was credited in the old watchtower literature, but at some point everything became anonymous.

  i still do not know exactly when this started, but i found this in charles taze russell's last will and testament.

  his will was not honored in other respects, so i doubt they would have honored this request.

  Angels and Women was not published by the WT. It was endorsed by them in the Golden Age, and reportedly the reprint/ revision of Seola was done by some of the Russell era Bible Students, but the fact remains that it was not published under the Watchtower label.

  Inconsistency involving Lot and Abraham

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  when god informed of his intention of destroying the wicked inhabitants of sodom and gomorrah abraham made extensive questioning, cross-questioning and bargaining with god till he gets satisfied.

  (genesis 18:16-33) however, when god informed of his intention of murdering abraham’s own only-begotten, innocent son, he simply obeys without any questionings [which he should naturally have done more intensely than he did in the case of unrelated wicked people].. god too acted strangely!

  no introduction of the subject with sufficient reasons.

  My thoughts, for what they are worth: Sacrificing to God or the gods is by no means confined to Israel and the Bible. It seems to be common to many cultures, from Europe to the Americas to the South Seas. As practiced by the Israelites, as well as the Greeks and Romans, they had an additional practice of presenting the animal or grain to the priest, who would then keep a portion for himself and his family. This is the economic model which kept the priesthood going. In Israel, since the priesthood wrote the books, they included stories like Abel/Cain, Abraham/Isaac, to provide ideological support for their livelihood. The later discourse about the Messiah was not on their minds at all. The Christian writers later re-interpreted the OT stories and found ways to rationalize that the sacrifices and priesthood were not needed anymore, the function being replaced (in their rationale) by the Messiah and his sacrifice.
