another gem from the same edition - article to be studied december 28 - january 3 (which most will miss lol coz of summer vacation) entitled "what do your prayers say about you?

" page 6 para 19 reads:.

19 when we are being represented in public prayer, we need to display reverential "fear of god.

it sucks.

lots of very talented people were just laid off at the company i work for.

lots of technology (software development) jobs going over seas.. i distinctly recall a meeting where leadership said, with a straight face, that jobs were not going to be sent overseas.

I remember my exJW Spidey Sense started to tingle.

LOL.. I have that sense too.

At least we got something out of the bastards.

How big is Bethel in New York?

by Nicolas in

friends

just asking out of curiosity... i always heard about it through the wbts publications so i assume what they were saying wasn't exactly like the real thing.

i remember how it was supposed to be a perfect place to work and everything was supposed to be in harmony with each others.

i even dreamed of going to that place, when i was young.

It's so big sooooooo big sooooooooooooooooo big.

The WTS's start of the "70 years"

by Doug Mason in

it is my understanding that the scholars of the wts say that the "70 years" began when the land was "completely depopulated", not when jerusalem was destroyed.. .

if that is the case, they should have jumped from their 537 bce date back to the removal of inhabitants during nebuchadnezzar's 23rd year, thus making that 607 (or 606) bce.. .

did russell start the 70 years (and hence his 2520 years) with the destruction of jerusalem or with the depopulation of the land?.

Hey scholar,

I don't remember any celebrations for the WT scholars.

Are these celebrations done in private?

Ever wonder to yourself, what if I'm wrong?

QUESTION TO JW REGARDING THE DOCTRINE OF 144,000

by Celestialfrontier in

i am not a jehovah's witness, and until yesturday i never knew the beliefs of your congregation.

when i did finally read them, i was amazed to discover that most of what the lord has revealed to me as truth, through my prayers and studies, is found in your beliefs.

and out of all the christian denominations that exist, "most" of your beliefs are according to the word of god, unlike the other churches.. .
