alot of my witness friends were excited sisters can now wear pants and you can say hi to disfellowshiped folks but what about important stuff child molesters in the congregation you need 2 witnesses blood fractions are fine but not whole blood????
607 bce is from the 1880s wrong....anything else?
Again l am thinking about JWs who moan about " organised " religion. It doesn't seem to occur to them that the WT is one of THE most organised religions in the sense of how they regulate every aspect of people's lives .
However that isn't anything to do with your point about about child abuse , or is it ?
They seem to get followers so far under the thumb that the rank and file are conditioned to " do and not question " in every aspect of , well , everything.

A fb friend of mine who is a JW put a post on saying that she had the " honour " of having her plates used for the bread .
Are JWs so eager to get recognition that this is considered an honour ?

when the gb brought a formal end to all the type/antitypes in so many ways it could be said that they brought the religion to an end.
the other sheep/anointed teaching that leads to a two class religion was originally based on two antitypes--the jehu/jehonadab relationship and something about the cities of refuge.
in that 2014 annual meeting talk david splane even specifically stated that the cities of refuge has no antitype.
Why do they make everything so ruddy complicated? It really isn't.

this website is an invaluable source of knowledge for me in my deconstruction journey as i gradually fade away from the org.
i absolutely love it here.. however, i haven't been very well as of late.
and i make an effort to bring a sad little message.
So sorry to hear your sad news . It's easier said than done l know , but as you have probably already been told , a positive mental attitude does help .

is the sunday special talk prior to the memorial just an introduction of a new outline for the sunday public talks?.
is it an attempt to get the faders back to the meetings?
they present in a way like some new light is going to be presented at the special talk..
Finally did the sensible thing and Googled it. I still don't see how this makes that bloke a Bible expert.

for decades, jehovah’s witnesses have been banging on about babylon the great—the so-called world empire of false religion—being on the brink of collapse.
any day now, they assured us, churches would empty out, priests would be left twiddling their thumbs, and humanity would collectively bin organised religion.
It cracks me up when they go on about " organised religions " the JWs are one of the most organised religions l can think of . They may not have paid clergy but they organise every aspect of their member's lives .

the message they have been pushing for 150 years or so is "the end is near !"..
in the educated, civilised world, people think " yea ?
maybe because of economic meltdown exacerbated by climate change, but not from some intervention by a non-existent god".. "would you like a free bible study ?
Phizzy please don't even joke about JWs shooting householders. I do wonder if they were told that it's Jehovah's will to do that would they comply ?
If it was pitched to them as a kindness , like totally ignoring disfellowshipped people, would they do it ?

How does being a ceramics engineer ( I'm not even sure what that is ) give you incite into how scientifically accurate the Bible is ?
I'm guessing that the lady who talked about churches preaching materialism is American.
Don't these special talks include at least something from the Bible ?
