  Is this valid reasoning for Trinitarian Doctrine?

  by Flat_Accent in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i had been watching jwfairytale's videos recently, and he's been including snippets of this short film about a guy that becomes a jw and then changes to a born again, or so i think.

  you can watch it here.

  it's very dated, but quite enjoyable:.

  Should I say something?

  by Flat_Accent in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my parents are quite popular in their congregation, and they're constantly inviting brothers and sisters over.

  as i've been part of the org for 19 years i know all these people very well, and before i da'd myself i was good friends with all of them.

  every other friday they invite a single brother round for dinner, just to cheer him up a bit.

  Should I attend a JW funeral?

  by Flat_Accent in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i mean, i had respect for the guy, and it's obviously right to be there for the family and show support.

  however, i can imagine what it will be like going back.

  i was friendly with a lot of the older, tougher sisters, so i'm sure they'll get on my case.

  Watchtower and the Civil Rights movement

  by Flat_Accent in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm one of the new guys here, but i had a question that's been bugging me for a while.. i've heard it said quite a number of times that the wtbts did more for the black rights movement in the 60's, than both martin luther king and malcom x. is there any evidence of this?.

  i understand that recently they have made brought some changes to religious freedoms in places like russia, but i seem to remember that the watchtower at one point proclaimed that black people would be 'cleansed' and made white in the new system.

  so to me it sounds rather fallacious.. cheers,.
