  "America will take it seriously when celebrities die from it."

  Kinda of reminds me of the question:

  How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

  That's all there ever was to being a Jehovah's Witness

  by Terry in

  jehovah's witnesses weren't jehovah's witnesses until 1931.until that year the people who had been hard-headed followers of end times false prophecies by william miller and seventh day adventists, more or less settled into following charisma-ballyhoo preaching by folks like "pastor" c.t.

  russell.what was it that attracts these people?

  it is a thin veneer of pious bible interpretation as a means of prepping for the end of the world.yep.

  We (jw's) were right and everyone else was wrong! Oh what a feeling! I was so smug and self righteous. I sort of miss that feeling........but not at the price I had to pay to have it!

  why did i have so many jobs?.

  i became a velcro salesman, but i couldn't stick with it.and besides - it was a ripoff.. i tried my hand at a career in tennis, but it wasn't my racket and i was too high strung.. i was a masseur for a while, but i seemed to rub people the wrong way.next i got a job at a pool company, but the work was too draining.then?i was a historian, but i couldn't see a future in it.i took a job as an elevator operator—the job had its ups and downs, and i got the shaft.. i became a banker, but i had an affair with boss's wife because she promised to hold my interest right up to the moment of withdrawal.. i just lost my job as a psychic.

  i did not see that coming.if a job’s worth doing, it’s too hard.. i quit my job working for nike.

  here's just a few random observations from tomorrow's wt study:.

  jesus’ command to make disciples was not limited to christians living in the first century.

  jesus concluded his instructions to his followers with the words: “i am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” (matt.

  The whole wt "lesson" yesterday sounded like a part that used to be covered in a 20 minute q & a part on the service meeting! How to conduct a bible study and get the poor victim quickly indoctrinated!

  How many Christians were there in the 1st century?

  just been reading former long-time brooklyn bethelite tom cabeen's very encouraging article entitled "where is the body of christ?".

  (can be found at http://divinetruth.homestead.com/bodyofchrist.pdf) .

  in his article, tom says: "when john received the revelation around the end of the first century, there were hundreds of thousands of christians, even by conservative estimates.

  Every religion has to have it's own 'pet' teaching that makes it different and therefore the 'right' religion. The wt just happens to have several 'pet' teachings which makes it even more of the 'right' religion! Except when it's wrong!

  The Holy Spirit

  by Acer21 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if the holy spirit is an "active force", how can it be grieved (ephesians 4:30)?.

  in other words, according to the jw's, one can make jehovah's "force" sorrowful?

  this is an example of how the jw leaders have perverted the gospel in translation, and have put the jw's in a position in which they must perform intellectual gymnastics in order to maintain their false position.

  The Holy Spirit? Is it even a thing or is it some imaginary, invisible, indestructible, unreliable force like the expression out of the Star Wars movies,

  "May the force be with you"

  If it's so powerful and it's from god, why the hell isn't it doing something good today, right now to help humans. After all, humans are god's greatest creation right?

  Do you think any of the GB have different beliefs?

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do you think any higher ups know that much of the doctrine they teach is bunk?

  thinking back to the time of raymond franz, how he pointed out specifically numerous teachings that the churches really did have right all along, and really any of the hidden mic apostacy trials you listen to on youtube, you see that even when inconvenient bible teachings are proven, the elders just try to sweep it under the rug and move on.

  i think i remember franz saying how one of the gb approached him somewhat sympathetically, but there was nothing he could do.. whether you believe in the bible or not, there are some basic beliefs common among most denominations because they're just so plainly stated, such things as heavenly life for all christians, no central authority structure, minimal use of god's name, etc.

  They have to have different beliefs otherwise there would be no changes to the dogma, no "new light". You gotta wonder which one of those guys came up with "overlapping generations"!

  What is the benefit of God's Kingdom?

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what is the benefit of god's kingdom?.

  the watchtower said when it started out in 1879 that god's kingdom had already arrived in heaven in 1874 and that its work would be complete by 1914. .

  with heroic slogans of "destroying the kings of the earth" and "all enemies of christ the king" etc by 1914, "god fearing" humankind was to have been restored to prelapsarian innocence and the earth to a global edenic paradise.
