"Who else is preaching in twos? Who else is putting kingdom interests first? Who else rejects the trinity?"
by Island Man inthe next time a jw asks you the questions in the title, just tell them about the "two by twos" and the "cooneyites".. they have some similar beliefs as jws but are even more zealous in putting kingdom interests first, living far simpler and less materialistic lives than even zealous jws.
they reject the triniy as unscriptural.
they preach in twos.

Lurking faithful JWs, here's a question for you to ponder on:
by Island Man inare you in 'the truth', or are you only in 'the current understanding'?.
how long will it be before many of the current teachings peculiar to the organization are rejected as old light and relegated to watchtower's dust bin of old light, out-of-print literature to be expunged from future issues of watchtower library cd-rom?.

What the writer of Revelation intended by his cryptic 666 mark of the beast reference.
by Island Man init's amazing how simple the answer is and yet the watchtower organization seems completely oblivious to it.
revelation itself tells you what the number is: "a man's number", "the number of his name".
the writer of revelation spells it out and yet they don't see it!

Shouldn't the "Other Sheep" be partaking of the bread at the memorial?
by Island Man ina thought came to me today: since it was only the cup of wine that jesus said represented the new covenant by virtue of his blood, could a case be made that members of the "other sheep" who aren't in the new covenant can and should partake of the bread?
it was only the cup that jesus associated with the new covenant, right?
in all the gospel accounts the cup is associated with the new covenant but the bread isn't.

Pioneering: How the GB shamelessly capitalizes on members' worldly desire for prominence.
by Island Man inthe bible likens the preaching work to a sacrifice of praise - praise to god.
pioneering is also a sacrifice that involves praise.
it's the sacrifice of a specified number of hours that wins you the praise of men.. when you really analyze the psychology of pioneering it is apparent that the praise of men or prominence before men is at the heart of it.
