"and this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
" -matthew 24:14 what is the good news?
i used to think that it was that jesus became king in 1914 and that he would destroy this system before the generation that saw 1914 passed away.
And to XOCO. You're correct. Nov 1995 I think. I showed this to two visiting elders in 2005 and they were completely oblivious to the change.
I know bigmouth i have to find one of those old awake mags and show to someone and explain to me about it and why the urge to change the date around like germanxjw had posted earlier?

1st of all i would like to say welcome to JWD DT
I think the reason why they have to start all over b/c they need to keep the Pubs. thinking that the end is commin' and keep on selling mags and tracks sayin' that false religion is near and crap. i remember in the old awake (from way back in the day) mags on the 1st page right after the cover it would say something about te 1914 generation but the new mags say nothing about the 1914 generation. i think u can look this up at http://www.sixscreensofthewatchtower.com

1. you don't talk about fight thread.. 2. you don't talk about fight thread.. 3. when someone stops posting, or stops making sense, even if he's just faking it, the thread is over.. 4. only active posters on the thread.. 5. one thread at a time.. 6. they post without google or a dictionary.. 7. it goes on as long as it has to.. 8. if this is your first view of fight thread, you have to post.. .
this reminds me of this fight song

i've decide to take a small break from studying (see last post) since i'm up this morning i've decide to watch some videos on youtube such as:.
hopeful athesis.
rick fearon (so damn funny but serious lol).
sorry that i did not reply back to any of the comments they were all good after watching all 3 parts i realized that if i were 2 leave the wit-hemorrhoids (JW) i would not have to deal with all the issues of jw religion and ppl pushing me to take the plunge. i'm glad that i got in to college right after high school(a big no no). i realized that i really don't have any worldly friends and my so called friends @ my KH are the elderly ppl, (Don't get me wrong they treated me very well than those kids who hung out in cliques.) i only have 1 or 2 good JW friend who calls me and tells me that i'm loved and would and haved hang out with me and thats it ( seriously).
growing up part 2: nancy said that if she discovered something wrong and if she brought this to somebody's attention she would be labeled as an apostate. as in xoco case if i were to bring out the child abuse scandal from 3 weeks ago ppl would say that i should not believe everything u here and where did u get that info etc etc just so ppl can lynch me (aka counsle or JC). although that has not happen. it could come the more ?s i ask.
some of the stuff that i found out (how JW got started and 1914 date) is either hard to believe or i just don't understand it completely. b/c i was and some what still am warped in the so called truth its like trying 2 find closure or understanding about all of this
Check out Minimus
so i guess this describes u then
Acting like a "minimus" is code for asking either personal or irritating questions to other posters on a DB while seldom ever giving your own opinion or personal information.
A Minimus question: "Would YOU Ever Have Sex With Your Best Friend's Girlfriend?"......The DB response might be, "YOU tell us first and stop asking "Minimus" questions!"
i thought it was funny
XOCO
i thought the definition 4 JW were funny here are a few:
The perfect example of why not to open the door to strangers.
I almost wished they were serial rapists when I found out I had opened my door to 2 Jehovah's witnesses
A person who, despite all efforts to make them stop, refuses to stop calling, showing up, or otherwise attempting to make contact with another person.
After I dumped her, she went all Jehovah's Witness on me.
A group of people who's faces are flat from getting doors slammed in their faces.
Jehovah's Witness: Ouch, my face feels like Kansas.

i realised that the end of the year is upon us, and now that i think back, it sure has been one hell of a year.. i have never been through so many changes within this short a time span ever in life.
between the death of my formerly held jw beliefs, the death of a very close family member, the death of an engagement, and the extremely high life-threatening surgery which almost caused the death of my mother (because of the blood issue by the way), things were very rocky, and of course i was hit pretty hard by those things.. i wanted to thank all of you for the support you've given me throughout these 7 short months.
alot of times, it is a great source of help just to sign in, not post, and just read some of your experiences.

you hear about them for so long.
the grand boasting session is supposed to be the biggie.
there is so much hype about the motels that are on the list, which will come out right around jan 1. you are supposed to call ahead, and usually people get busy signals and full motels.
District Assemblies Not All They are Cracked Up to Be. I know in my district it looked like the ghetto BET awards. i could remember some brothers dressing up like pimps w/flashy crocodile shoes and those big huge sunglasses that just cover up ur eyebrows and the sister were wearing tricked out hairstyles and short dresses w/cleavage showing. i never could make new friends at the assembles b/c there were entourage of groupies and VIPs to walk to the Mcdonalds eh Whatever??
