i'm not sure if this has been presented here before, but this is link to some ewatchmanlike site .
http://www.jehovahsjudgment.com/essay_danielsdays_5.html.
it comments watchtower's current teaching about daniel's "2625 days" and it's miscalculation when it claims that the 2625 days lasted from "january 25 1919 to may 1926".
I'm saving that picking and choosing how to apply a day for a year rule for a discussion with my wife!! That fact alone is enough to make someone think!!! But, tie that in with all the other information? BAM!!!!
yeah you're right nothing will probably happen. There is no such thing as a dub going BAM!!!! unless it's followed by their going to jail.
hey guys!
i don't know if this has been discussed before.
if it has, just give me 20 lashes with a wet noodle.
I'll admit to fantasizing about smoking a nice cigar. That's not a euphimism!
As soon as my fade is over I'm getting drunk, smokig a cigar and doing something with an ass (and I don't mean donkey)

Breathed a sigh of relief that I wasn't a dead man at armageddon and lifted a huge weight off my chest.
I'd rather be doing what upside/down is.
jost tossing an idea about.
would anyone be willing to make regular contributions to an 'exposure fund'?.
it wouldn't be a 'fighting fund', we couldn't hope to compete against watchtower finances or its legal department in that way.
I would like to contribute. However, confidentially is a major concern. A monthly draw on my checking account to "I hate JWs" might arouse suspicion.
one time while out in service we saw some mormon's working the same territory.. the inevitable put-down comment was made that "they" only put in two years of "missionary" work in, then their church helps them financially to get "set" in the business world (bastards!).
unlike "us" (the dubs) who slave for the lord our whole life.
and get nothing (in this life).. so i started to do the math... if you just go strictly by "witness" standards of weights and measurements (counting "time"), here's what i came up with:.
Team Name: Witness Busters
The Witness Busters have Elder John in the corner, they're closing in, they're about to steal his faith! Oh wait, the Faithful Slaves have stolen the edge, they're pulling Elder John out from the corner, YES!! the Faithful Slaves have saved Elder John ----GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
About the hours thing. If service were about actually converting people I'd agree with you. For the Mormons it is about converting. For the Witnesses it's about controlling people every month for the rest of their lives.
i had to stop crying so i could write this and if you saw me you wouldn't think i would be the type to cry!
i am a 35 year old man from western australia....i should be tough....or so they say.
i have never posted anything before so excuse my fractured writing.
Welcome WA Boy. You will find some good friends here. You will meet people who can have empathy and feeling for what you've gone through and that which is to come.
Please browse the site and read everything of interest. You no longer need to fear the Witnesses and their doctrines.
i've been lurking here for a while, so i figured it's time for me to introduce myself.
i was raised in "the truth".
both of my parents were witnesses, and so were their parents.
Hi Bitca and Skyman!!
Welcome to our motley board. I'm glad you found us. I look forward to reading your posts and hearing your insight.
Congragulations on having the courage to begin posting. The fear of being found out is very great.
what signs do you look for in determining whether someone is really telling the truth, outright lying or possibly using "theocratic strategy"??
?
If you don't say what I want to hear you're lying.
i've got all these bethel pics to share with you and i hope i can the good ones posted.
i will only be posting ones of bethel... cause if you want to see nyc there are other places to do that.. .
here is the entrance to walkill... another good use of those voluntary donations.. here's the boys doing some work on... bindery equipment i think (at this point i was still half asleep).
My God!!!
Are you a nephilim?
today i am 17. i just feel excited but i can't run up to witnesses and tell them... so instead i'll just quietly celebrate with all my friends on the board.
thanks guys-- you make life easier.
<<<<glances from side to side>>>>>>
<<<<whispers>>>>> "Happy Birthday Richie"
