  2. friends

  hi .

  i want to direct this question mainly to those who are still jws who post on this board,xjws please feel free to comment.. if the governing body were to call on you all including your children to congregate together each at it's respective kingdom halls,as persecution of gods people has reached it's climax and you have to fight to the death,would you follow that call.

  Sudden Rash of JW Apologists

  by NeonMadman in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  am i the only one who sees it as a bit odd that a large number of jw apologists has suddenly come out of the woodwork on this board to defend the actions of the watchtower society toward bill bowen, barbara anderson and the pandelos?

  for the longest time, virtually the only ones on this board who advocated an essentially orthodox jw viewpoint were you know and nytelecom/mavman (though each of them could easily be classed with us "apostates" if the watchtower knew of their disagreements with the party line).. but suddenly, we have a bunch of totally loyal, utterly doctrinaire jw apologists posting almost exclusively on threads related to the pedophile issue.

  most of them are taking next to impossible positions from any reasonable standpoint.

  Questions to ask the Dub at your door

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you next have a visit from a dub, what will you say?.

  perhaps you should have some quickfire questions ready to ask them.

  1. how come jesus kicked satan out of heaven in october 1914, at the end of the gentile times, when satan had started ww1 to distract attention from the kingdom's establishment around july 1914 ?.

  What does your ID or Nick say about you?

  by LyinEyes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  someone replied to a post i entered and got me thinking what others perceive about us due to the nicks or id we have chosen.

  some of the nicks i am sure are just self explanatory , others are cute, or simple.

  although i suspect that very many in this room,took time to think of theirs and definitly the nick holds some little secret as to who they are as a person.

  Disturbing material in May 15, 2002 Watchtower

  by spender in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the questions from readers section, the question was: "would it be advisable for a true christian to attend a funeral or a wedding in a church?".

  to analyze this wonderful piece, i'm going to use their words, and translate them into real english.. "being in a group where everyone else is engaging in a false religious act, a christian may find it difficult to resist the pressure to join in.

  how unwise to expose oneself to such pressure!".

  "You Are Expected to Believe As We Do&quot...

  by stevieb1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am currently having visits made on me by the elders,who are trying to help me "unbelieve" the things i have learned to be true from the bible, which naturally contradict wt doctrine.. as well as asking me "where else will you go" they said that members of the public walking into a kingdom hall expect all within it to be jehovah's witnesses holding firmly to their doctrines and not holding divergent viewpoints like i do.

  they said it would not be proper for someone to hold a belief that was contrary to the society and still be expected to remain a jw, even in name only.

  i have stated to them that i can no longer preach the wt version of the "good news" so they automatically assumed that i am not obeying jesus' command to preach.. i am in a bit of a predicament as you can see.
