ON MARCH 26,1918 SATAN WAS HURLED DOWN TO THE EART

by minimus in

according to the your will be done book ..."there is scriptural reason to believe that by the time of the annual celebration of the lord's evening meal on march 26, 1918, satan the devil was hurled down to the earth.

"now this must have been quite the war, since we are taught that by october 1 or 2 1914, satan was waging war with michael and he was thrown to the vicinity of the earth.

that is why since 1914 we have such a short time left.....how do they get these crazy dates and how can people believe this if they really think about it?

Dark Knight

I was always under the impression that the reasoning for the JW statement that war in heaven took 3-4 years was because they equated the heavenly war with satan with the fact that certain brothers(GB?) were locked up in jail and weren't released till 1918(or was it 1919).

War started in heaven, brother put in jail (1914)

Satan defeated, brothers released (1918)

I may be wrong... but I asked this question way back when I was still in and didn't get any satisfactory answers just a bunch of opinions...

Relationships

by wovy in

first post on here and just a basic inquiry before i get in to the meat of my problem.

question is "is this a good forum to discuss problems i have dating a jehovah's witness?

" i am not a witness and wonder what i have gotten myself into.

Dark Knight

Hi Wovy,

Nice to hear from you, and the answer to your question would be yes. There are a few people in the forums who are in the same circumstance as you I believe. So welcome to the forums!

Cheers DK

how's your week been?

One thing I never understood about the "special talk"...

What was so "special" about it?

To me a talk was special when I felt refreshed, encouraged or motivated after it, but most of the time that had to do with the speaker's ability and not the material...

Good speakers in the org are hard to find... and my prediction is that they'll get harder to find as more and more of the intelligent, thinking JW's leave the org.

You can't keep a good man/woman down.

Are looks deceiving?

by JH in

jw
friends

.

just by looking at a person, the way he/she dresses or by the facial expressions, can you tell what kind of person she/he is?.

do you see a correlation between the looks and the personality of a person?

Dark Knight

You can only tell generalisations...

Like you can tell a goth or a bodybuilder by how they look or dress...

You can't tell their deeper qualities though, like inner personality.

Anyway... why ask this question?

Who's voice would you really like to have?

by Latte in

.

if you had the chance to 'come back' as a different person, who's voice would you most like to have?

for me it would have to be either linda ronstadt or barbra streisand, failing that... shakira.

Dark Knight

I'd have to ask for the voice of Brian Mcknight.

ok so i'm watching the aussie open and serena williams is playing.. i'm thinking, i'm gonna go to the open this year, and yell out to serena, come on serena you can do it, jehovah is on your side he wants you to win.. except i know he prefers golf.. wonder how everyone would react if i did it a few times?

Dark Knight

That would be so funny Gizmo...

Imagine if she had an army of apostates (something like that barmy army) that followed her around to all her games and yelled out stuff like that.... How hilarious!!

Most ridiculous statements from the JW stage?

by Smiles in

we have all sat at jw meetings and heard some ridiculous statements that were either shocking or just plain old bunk.

usually it is the same jw individuals that make those statements time and time again.

you know the type..... you can almost expect such comments from them.. jws place great importance on what statements or persons are 'stage worthy'.

Dark Knight

Lisa,

I'm sure you mean "Roxette"...

Cheers, DK
