Achoo! Watchtower Bless You.
by okage inthis has been irking me for a bit.
many of us on here acknowledge the society's subtle demand to be worshipped like god.. they are god's mouthpiece, yet they make the claim "question the organization is like questioning jehovah.
" "accept what we say because jehovah is saying it.".

Something to think about...
by Jack C. inhas anyone ever seriously considered the possibility that the bible could be misunderstood due to incorrectly interpriting which person (first, second or third) it is written in?.
for example 'in the beginning the elohim created the heavens and earth.
" (third person).

What You May Have Missed While You Were Away
by OldGenerationDude inafter conversing with a few folks on this board, it came to my attention that a lot of what i've been writing sounds very foreign to a lot of people.
the reason is simple, really.. after talking with some of you here, i have come to realize that i am really from a very different era of the watchtower than a lot of you are.
i have much to learn from you guys (like i still can't figure out how anyone got that overlapping-generation fluff to pass-in my day we probably would have burned as a witch anyone who even dared suggest such a thing as "true doctrine" among the witnesses).. some have mentioned to me how what i've written about sounds "foreign" or even fabricated...that is until they look it up for themselves.

bible no other book
by bobld inmany say,no other book in all history compares with it.. widely owned book,one least read.people don't understand it.. it's wisdom unmatched,guide for all,brings peace,joy etc and a gift from god.. yet you read kings and chronicles and you see evil rulers like hiltler,stalin.. read ruth..purchase a wife and land on the witnesses of removing a sandal.. where do you get away with, a jew(god's people) marrying a gentile.. try reading your kids a bedtime story from revelation.. the r.c almost had it right when they burnt the bible,they didn't go far enough..

The Great Tribulation - For Whom, & By Whom?
by The Searcher inthere is much speculation about many aspects of the great tribulation.
since it is in god's word the bible that we are informed of this event, then we should allow him to give us any relevant information regarding that event, if that is his wish.. the scripture tells us, "for the sovereign lord jehovah will not do a thing unless he has revealed his confidential matter to his servants the prophets.
" (amos 3:7).

What if Adam knew his wife, before the sin?
by Nambo ini sometimes wonder how things would have been if adam and eve had procreated before eating from the tree of knowledge, and the ramifications of such.. if any children didnt also eat of the tree, would we now have two groups of humans on earth, one perfect and living forever, and us.. would god have split the two classes of human, putting eden on another planet or dimension or such?.
does this indicate that its all deliberate, that god knew satans plan so let the play unfold before letting adam and eve know each other?.
or does it just mean that satan was allready corrupted and wanted to get his deed done at the very beggining to ensuer he had everyone?.
