I think that it is amazing that the article listed above from 1952 closes with this comment "The law of the land and God’s law through Christ forbid us to kill apostates , even though they be members of our own flesh-and-blood family relationship."

Really,..",... even though they be members of our own flesh-and-blood family relationship." Is saying that the Jws that have Apostate family should expect to have a harder time NOT KILLING the apostates, since they are their family members. Not an easier time, not killing them, but a harder time not killing them. WOW!!

Helping your Loved one correlate WT mind control by exposing OTHEr groups

by Jon Preston in

ive been watching "the following" lately and my wife watched a few episodes with me.

she couldnt fathom at first the depth that mind control or "destructive influence" can take you.

so in accordance with hassans "freedom of mind" i have decided that exposing other cults to my wife will help me help her to find correlations to the wt and hopefully lead her to the bite model.

Hope I inserted this correctly. It is the story of a Mormon that made his way out and it rang true with me.

two overlapping generations of anointed blah blah blah question

by SnailsPace2 in

jw
friends

i read the watchtower article on this "new light.

" has any information on how "this generation" turned into two overlapping generations of only anointed people been printed?

the word "evidence" was thrown around a lot in the article, but none was provided unless something has been printed since then and i have missed it.

notjustyet

I will use Matthew 1:1-17 , especially 17 if i ever get the chance.

Has anyone used this question on a JW? How might they respond?

by BU2B in

jw
friends

as i was laying in bed i thought of a question to ask my wife.

"when the wt has an article on the next change in teaching or new light, just guessing, what do you think it might be?".

it does not need to be phrased just like that, but i thought it might be a powerful question since it would make the jw subconsciously question all of the current teachings, something they are not taught to do.

I asked my brother, who is still in, "Are you saying that their will not change any doctrines from this point onward?" He replied," No,.. You know we can't say that will never happen" I then replied " So your admitting that some of the things that you believe now, could be wrong,.. some of those things you base your life and the life of your children on" I hope that this would stick in his head and simmer a bit.

Observations about last nights meeting...

by DATA-DOG in

... btw it was soooo boooorrrinnng!!!

draw close to jehovah(tm)/bookstudy:.

excruciatingly boring.

There is a youtube video out there that shows some old Jw literature that states, at different times that both Satan AND Jesus were Abbadon.

Not that you would find it interesting enough to watch but thought it interesting.

Seven Headed Wild Beast officially no longer represents UN?

by donuthole in

jw
friends

according to a new "bible questions answered": " the wild beast with seven heads introduced at revelation 13:1 represents the worldwide political system.".

i know that they have quietly been backing away from the un identification for awhile.

is this feature on jw.org a new official teaching, or just a spin for the sake of the public?.

Role Reversal: Placing 1969 Awake with JW's Manning the New Portable Literature Displays

by snapdragon4 in

jw
friends

in recent weeks the jw’s here in the uk have been setting up their new portable watchtower literature displays in my local town square on a saturday morning.

as they hadn’t knocked on my door for at least five years, and consequently feeling somewhat neglected, i thought that i would pay them a visit instead.. .

the first thing i needed to do was arrange my literature.

I had somehow missed it also,. Thanks for resurrecting it,..oops,..

Idea for anyone planning on sharing info like this to those working the booth.

What do you think about having another person plan on showing up after you get there and have them listen into the conversation. You would want the other person to not look like they were not involved with you of course, just clarifying. This might make it harder on the Jw to tell you where to get off. They would have to keep their cool and act interested as now there are other people involved and of courser they have to give a good witness.
