  Inactive for 4 years, never been visited. Will not open door unless they have called and made an appointment. Screen my calls though.

  Ditto for me too. How do you turn off the red?

  Memorial Partaker numbers must stop before Armageddon comes.

  according to statements in the past from the society regarding the time when those in the graves worthy of an earthly resurection will recieve their reward....it seems the idiots didn't think of something that would have made a bit more sense.. in the article below....they state the resurection cannot take place until all those of the annointed class are dead and resurected first......yet they continually printed the numbers of those still left on earth while at the same time....preached the end was anytime now.

  kinda dumb ain't it?.

  inspired by one of the other threas on todays board i was remindedof what the po of my 'then' cong' said just befors i left for good.. can't remember what the subject was but he ended up quite proudly announcing.....'if jehovah asked me to.....i would have no trouble killing someone, i would find it easy'!!

  stunned silence.......this man is now a circuit overseer!

  the phrase 'crazed extremist' comes to mind.. what was the most unbelievable, outrageous thing that was uttered in your earshot.

  Hello Gary

  Is there hope for any reconcilation on you and your moms part, or is that past the point of no return? I really hate to see that kind of thing. My wife's mother holds back quite a bit on her end from communication with my wife but still talks once to twice a month or more usually. We are not disfellowshipped but are known to have severely critisized the WTS and then never attend meetings after that. They used to be a fairly close family. I even hate to see that but what can you do. They hope the tough love thing will bring us back.

  It sounds like your mom is a very staunch supporter of the WTS. Was she raised as a witness or did she convert?

  in it, he denies wt publications, refuses to read wt articles and quotes claiming they come from "apostate" websites, etc.

  it is about 10 minutes long.

  listing of authorities and their date for the fall of Jerusalem

  sorry if this has been posted before.

  i came across it and thought it was worth pointing out: http://members.tripod.com/sosoutreach/wts/607.html.

  (edited) the annoying popup caused me to cut and paste the table from the page, rather than embed it: the narrative before and after is good too so you might want to check it out the original page.

  Good questions Mike, asked in a very straightforward honest manner. Lets see if Scholar can answer in the same.
