that was the comment a family member made to me (one of those period comments trying to get you to come back, etc).
they claim to be of the annointed.
i replied, so does that mean there are only 900 years left of his reign?
People don't undertand how easy JW Theology is. See, Jesus started ruling in 1914, then, sometime after the Big A, he will stop ruling, and the clock will be reset to zero, so he can start all over again for 1,000 after that. After the 1,000 are over, he will stop ruling again to do only God knows what.
Easy, eh? Stupid WT.
reading the oct 1 1953 wt about gog of magog because of the posts about the changes of identity.. basic question:.
why would satan (whether gog or not) be cast to the earth?.
why not cast him to quadrant 4 of the galaxy?.
Good point Navytown.
Thanks for the links Bobcat.
I guess the Andromeda Galaxy is in better shape than us because the Evil did not go there.
i just finished watching the recording of the talk at the annual meeting that re-explains gog of magog.
i caught something not previously talked about, that i can recall.. gog of magog is thought to be a coalition of nations that attach god's people during the great tribulation.
this is from ezekiel 38 & 39.. gog and magog in revelation 20 represents those with the same attitude as gog of magog.. thus, the new teaching (maybe not new, but i'll have to research this) is that gog in ezekiel is not the same as gog in revelation 20. two different gogs, happening about a thousand years apart.. .
Gog is whateveter the WT/FDS/GB/Borg wants it to be. And that's that.
i see no logic in it.
i see what appears to be some scriptural contradictions but i see no merit in a trinitarian view of god.. .

the three branches of the US government are one government.
I kind of like this aproach to the Trinity. Even thou there are 3 branches, none of the are greater that the other, none of them can work separately without the other, and we refer to them as The Goverment, as in one, even thou there are 3 branches.
Having said that, they act separately when fulfilling their duties.
I had found lately that the explanation of the Borg/WT/FDS/GB for God, the Son and the HS is a little simple, almost too humane.
talking about an article that makes you want to throw-up in your mouth- wt-study jan 15, 2015 the offered themselves willingly.. amazing the psych job of selling your business, moving your entire family, quiting your job to be a "temporary" worker at the new world headquarters!.
throw your livelyhood away only to get the "feeling" that jehovahs is blessing you!
i wish there was away to track the psych job during patterson and other major projects of what happened to all the "friends" that sold and got rid of their livelyhood then and where are they now.. did you ever sacrifce it all for a building project only to be left with nothing after your "spiritual high"?.
LITS, thanks for sharing your story.
Welcome!
as a kid i only collected comic books until around 1962.. my collection was very important to me and i had emotional excitement at the release of a new comic--but--i made a date with 2 girls.
on the same day and didn't have any money!
(not thinking it through, you see :).
I have an obsession of collecting certain things. I can't say right now because it my give away my identity. But yes. I DO collect things and I feel you Terry
so, even if jws of the great crowd are found faithful and sparred at armageddon, they still have to prove faithful at the final judgement at the end of 1,000 years, right?
or, are jws of the great crowd assured they will pass the final judgement.
two tests doesnt sound fair!.
Meanwhile, the annointed aka GB and co. get one "test". aha. Sure.
this is part of the speech that anthony morris iii gave during his time in the limelight at the 2014 annual meeting.. at 3.16.32 of the recorded meeting.
"what role do those with an earthly hope play?
oh oh ho veeeery important role, very important.
it’s my Big Brother,
Disgusting!

re: 2015 calendar in english.
if many publishers in your congregation have requested the 2015 calendar in english,.
Additionally, the calendars that contain errors also emphasize starting Bible studies on
the first Saturday of each month.However, as noted in the December 2014 Our Kingdom Ministry,
this arrangement will be discontinued as of January 2015.
Sometimes you get an insight of how the Borg works. If these calendars have the "use the magazines on Saturdays", that means that the change to discontinued this arragement was made on-the-fly, recently, after they printed the calendars.
All of these makes me winder, how far ahead do they plan things?
