  WT Attacks Being 'Easygoing' October,1,02 WT

  by ISP in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  should you be easygoing?

  most people would probably feel that it is a compliment to be thought of as an easygoing person, one with a relaxed, placid, tolerant nature.

  however, there is another side to easygoingness.

  Do JW's pay tithing?

  by Double Edge in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a friend of mine said that jw's paid tithing.

  i've never heard it mentioned on this board - is this true, and if so is there a set amount?

  it's biblical so i would expect the jw to say something about it.

  i would like to ask you for your collective help:.

  i am in the process of attending a judicial committee meeting with three elders because of my "speaking" of "apostate" ideas in the congregation.

  they have made responses to some of my thoughts but i can't make a reply in turn.

  Ethics Discussion of WTS Blood Policy

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  ethics panel discusses blood policy of watchtower bible & tract society and jehovah's witnesses refusing lifesaving treatment .

  the oncologist journal of august 2002 contains an interesting discussion between a panel of medical professionals on the subject of jehovah's witnesses refusing blood therapies.. this article focuses on a witness woman who refused some blood therapies but was convinced by her congregation elders that it was okay to accept bovine hemoglobin therapy.

  realizing the glaring inconsistency of bovine hemoglobin being acceptable in the face of prohibiting other blood therapies like red cell infusion, one physician said,.

  The only ones?

  by funkyderek in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yesterday i was approached by a man who offered me a free stress test.

  i immediately recognised this as a scientology scam (ok, he was standing outside the scientology building) but it got me thinking.. ireland is a small country, and over 90 percent of the population are catholic.

  most of the rest are anglican or presbyterian.

  What are JW's embarrased to say to interested ones

  by In_between_days in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my latest addition to my thread "armageddon - jw speculations" got me thinking.

  i was talking about jw's, and how they will avoid telling people at the doors that they believe they will be the only ones to survive armageddon.. i know when i was a jw, there was certain things that i was embarrased to tell interested ones about, and prefered to avoid the issue, or prance around it, trying to make it sound less harsh, or make me look like a complete nut.

  when i talk to my jw family now, i notice there are certain issues that they will try to deny about the organisation, constantly.

  I'll Just Bet They Do Go Beyond...

  ...the things written.

  ol' needle nose jaracz claims they don't, but they do.

  most of jw so-called "theology" is nothing more than the interpretation of men, nothing more.

  CounterPoint to Reasoning Book

  by BadJerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as part of helping myself and my family to see past the smoke and curtains, i have started on a journey to write and publish an e-book that will present counterpoints to "reasoning from the scriptures".

  i am looking to see if there are any out there that might contribute, since i want to handle each point covered in that book (and complete it before the end of this system - oops, sometimes flashbacks occur).

  if interested, email me or respond here.
