Who be going to church?

[SirReginald]

Because old JWs hold on to their old literature. I know people with bound volumes of Watchtowers and Awakes that are that old. Your local Kingdom Hall could have a library with publications as old as Studies in the Scriptures and Golden Age.

That second question is stupid. Jwfacts.com isn't trying to discredit jw.org, it's trying to discredit many of the teachings of JWs. Jw.org's agenda is to promote ALL the teachings of JWs.

And yes a lot of elder's kids do go to college. It's usually the rank and file true believers that get shafted by this implied rule.

Watchtower Quotes Regarding Advanced Education

Plenty of quotes from there discouraging higher education from the 2000s that you can look up on wol.jw.org

I find it funny that the most comprehensive online library of Watchtowers and Awakes endorsed by JWs only goes back to 2000. This religion keeps reinventing itself.

As far as what you see when you log in, "the game is to be sold, not told". All I'm saying is it requires security clearance to log into jw.org, and if I got it, and you don't, then really who are you to try to defend them or claim that I'm wrong? I know more about the organization than probably anyone on the Coli and I'm just giving ya'll friendly warnings. It'd behoove you to heed them

So you've looked at bound volumes from 1900's before they were even called watchtower, huh? Aight, breh

The second question was what you said, if it's stupid then I don't know what to tell you, breh. The "agenda" on jw.org is the teaching of JW's - it's their (JW's) official website. Jw facts isn't, so what are you talking about??

That sounds like their own personal decision based off their conscious, so you can't get shafted if you played yourself on education .

Thats pretty common, especially with printed material, you aren't finding Ebony magazines from '85 on their site.

So I'm supposed to take your word, a nikka that has no proof to validate anything he's said except for a janky ass website and hearsay

The first issue of the Watchtower was in 1879. You obviously don't know JW history, breh, nor are you all that familiar with its present so, as Jesus said, why cast pearls before swine?

The articles referenced in the initial link from jwfacts were from 1900's...the same ones you claimed you looked at.

Haven't been in almost 10 years, and that's only cause some bad bytch invited me out and I was trying to smash. i would literally rather help someone move, than to go to church. Every time I've ever stepped foot in a church for anything, it was to appease someone else. I hate church and organized religion. I low key got beef with church cause it got a damn spell on our elderly black generation. Mothafukkas be old and broke, still paying tithes and believing that dumb shyt.

I don't think you understand what tithes/giving is for, homie

What's your point?

1879 predates the 1900s.

So Watchtower had been publishing their magazine for 21 years BEFORE the 1900s.

Let's be honest, most (not all) of those pastors use the members tithes for their own personal use. This is coming from a person who agrees with the 10% of your income redistribution of wealth.

If a pastor is full time how is he supposed to survive? Of course tithes/offerings go to pay the people that lead the church you attend. It's ridiculous that people act like its some sort of conspiracy theory.

So did you see those articles? Those same articles that you made mention to in the link that you provided?

I provided several links.

Which one in particular?

Listen, our community is already F'ed up as it is. All we want is these preachers to use a socialist platform to help their poor members.
