Nothing happened.
At least they're consistent.

You're not allowed to say anything to Jesus
by JH in.
witness find it silly that catholics have statues or a crucifix, and that some will look at these while talking to jesus in prayer.. the bottom line is, althought you're a christian, you can't even pray to jesus or even say thank-you for anything to jesus.. imagine if an apostle would still be alive today, and although he talked to jesus when he was on earth, and all of a sudden after jesus's death, that apostle wouldn't be allowed to even talk to him in prayer, basically shunning him for the last 2000 years.. when jesus died 2000 years ago, did the apostles just shun him from that day like the jw's want us to do, by only praying jehovah?.

Religion is a tool that men employ to use people's faith to control them.

Are the 144000 Virgins or not?
by SickofLies inrev 14:3 and they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders.
these were redeemed by jesus from among men, the first fruits to god and to the lamb.
these are they who with women were not defiled, for they are virgin; these are they who are following the lamb whithersoever he may go; these were bought from among men -- a first-fruit to god and to the lamb -- (ylt).

Memorial on full moon?
by Aphrodite intalked to jw mother in law about memorial, df'd hubby reckons it should be on full moon which was friday, but it was held on wednesday.
mother in law says "well as brother so&so pointed out to us, it is the full moon in the northern hemisphere, so we are only out by a few hours and anyone looking into the night sky would think its a full moon anyway.
so they are saying they are having the memorial on the northern hemispheres full moon, but they actually had it just after sundown here which was well before sundown up there so in fact they held the memorial on nisan 13. i just dont get it, is this normal, is it even true?

The irony of a dodgy milennium cult having their one big night of the year on a full moon is marvelous.
They should be out howling at it.

I live 5 doors down from a hall.
One of the conditions of their town planning permit was that they weren't allowed to door knock within 4 blocks.

I am not a JW. I have never been a JW. I tripped over this forum whilst participating in a little harmless internet forum raiding.
I am a 48 year old man with a wealth of life experience who married a much younger woman who had been raised in a formerly devout but now mostly non-meeting attending JW family.
I have a couple of tertiary degrees in engineering and some undergraduate credits in psychology. I did a little research on this cult (and it is a cult, all religions are. Cult + time = religion) because my wife was estranged from her family as a result of deciding to make her own way in the world. I know that it is important to resolve these kinds of things if one is to grow and mature so I encouraged her to try to get connected with the family. Unfortunately, she did so too well and has become a zealot of a different sort by becoming a self-absorbed career yuppie. The imprinting, dogma and general brain washing is pervasive and taints the former JW's thought patterns even if they don't go back to the "Truth".
We are now separated and I would like to say to those of you having doubts, get the hell out now. And don't come back. I know it's hard to leave that support base because the insular nature of JW life has not equipped you for life in a complex world vastly different to the simplistic and regulated church, but you will never know joy by trying to ignore your own questioning nature.

Anointed "Remnent" projections
by Elsewhere ina person who cannot reveal his/her identity has asked that i post this research regarding how long it is taking for the "remnent" to die before armageddon comes.. ====.
a recent jwd posting (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/110850/1.ashx) got me playing with remnant figures in excel.
the results are obvious, and frankly not surprising.

I met one at my brother in law's engagement party in Western Australia.
I was so tempted to strike up a conversation and quiz her. I wanted to ask" So when God spoke to you.....What did He say?"
