((think this describes The Scotsman and a lot of JW's. Magically transformed from a "worldly" person to a great pontificator of the "truth". Able to rattle off scriptures ad nauseum, but never able to answer a direct question that requires actual thinking and research.))
Your questions are deep and meaningful and you want a long in-depth answer before dinner.
Calm down man.
Their are about 30 different subjects in this thread alone.
Start a thread on a "specific" matter and we can go from there.
ps - you seem particularly bitter. What is your history? What went wrong?

Thanks for your highly intelligent and informative reply.
I think you want to go to somewhere nearer to your mental age group.
I believe the Muppets website is really good.

Sorry, no exciting double life to speak of.
Come on it was a wee joke.

Hello again.
First, I am not here to scorn or hurl abuse at posters. (I wish I could say the same for some who replied today!!!)
Ok, I am a JW. Is that such a horrible terrible crime that deserves utter contempt to be thrown at me?
Once again a few mention WT articles from 1914 etc. WHAT????????
Were any of us even born then????? Digging up the past. Give us a break please.
Numerous topics are touched on in this thread and is difficult to answer them all.
One that is mentioned is the "apparent" 1975 prediction.
My mother was brought up in the truth and lived through the 1975 in the truth. She knew nothing of a 1975 prediction nor did anyone else in her local congregation. The misrepresentation of 1975 seemed to be sporadic, depending where people lived.
So lets say it for old times sake - The Watchtower Society, The Governing Body nor the Faithful Slave ever said that 1975 will definately be the end. The year was mentioned from assembly platforms and in a few articles but never ever ever was it said that that particular year would absolutely, unquestionably be the start of armageddon.
A poster mentioned a 1984 prediction?????? Do not know what that is.
A few of you have mentioned my apparent naughtyness in actually coming here after the resolution at the DC. This is a fair point. I am now doubting whether to come back. I feel it is good to talk.
One of my favourite scriptures is when, after some of the disciples stopped following Jesus, he turned to Peter and said "You are not going to leave also, are you?" Peters reply is simple and yet very powerful. He said "Where shall we go, you have sayings of everlasting life". Yes, Peter knew he had found the truth.
Show me a serious alternative to Jehovah's organisation? Jehovahs-witness.com??????? I do not think so.
Its ironic really - the web address is www.jehovahs-witness.com and yet it is a club for non witnesses.
Maybe you could change the web address to
www.sexbeforemarriageplease.co.uk
Ok, having a bit of fun.

Sorry
I have a new TFT flat screen thingy and it is not set up right.
Some letters are a bit blurry.
Thread does make more sense than threat.
Anyway, ministry is not until 10 a.m.

My post could be descibed in many ways - but "a threat"?????????
A threat to who?
I shall return later to have a look.

I have no doubt some have had bad experiecnes within the organisation. But this does not change the fact that this is the truth.
I have never been more sure that this is an organisation with Jehovah's backing. And no, I am not brainwashed, tricked, blinded, etc etc, it is merely the fact of the matter.
Reading some of the posts here is quite entertaining. What was all the hype about a BIG announcement????????? You try and try again to generate some contraversy when their is none. You still cling to trivialities - NGO status at the UN. This is only a big issue for you, no one else. Mountain out of a molehill.
Regarding the new tract campaign, it has been very well received (I have to admit I thought it could be difficult to place but no, most people quite happy to take it)
I am interested in constructive criticism, but you just moan alot. No substance to your argument. Those who give up / or go apostate do 3 things.
1) Dig up the past ALOT. Qouting ancient Watchtower articles etc. (light gets brighter people)
2) Offer no alternative to the truth, you just tear down.
3) And of course - the main tactic, resort to absolute untruth and deception. (You will all say that is what we do, Yawn Yawn.)
Anyway, got to go out in the ministry.
Bye Bye
with all the ridiculous hype amongst the dubs about how this new tract is going to help bring about "the end", i thought it would be beneficial to highlight how often they've been crying that the sky is falling in the last 1/2 century:.
***w50 2/15 p. 54" stick to your work"*** now is the time to live and work as christians, especially now, for the final end is near.
*** the time of the end is near!
((With all the ridiculous hype amongst the Dubs about how this new tract is going to help bring about "the end))
No, the ridiculous hype is among the ex JWs and apostates who oh so hope that the JWs have got it all wrong.
To repeat, no hype, just a timely message, the end will come at a time of Jehovah's choosing.
for over 100 years the same message of doom and gloom for the world has been preached with a twist.
if your a jehovah's witness you can be saved.. .
i think people are tired of expecting the end of the system, the older generation (there are more older ones than younger i am guessing) are seeing the end of their lives when they thought they never would and some of them probably think about the false prophecy.. .
((The Watchtower Society is quickly becoming someone trapped in mud who is sinking and trying everything they can to get free ))
What absolute noncense!!!
You do like to exaggerate here, don't you.
Jehovahs organisation goes from strength to strength. Increase every year. Special tract campaign will help to sort the deserving from the not so deserving.
