  “THE REVELATION, IT’S GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND"

  do you have the revelation, its grand climax at hand" book"?

  it is a fascinating book backed up throughout with scriptures will open your eyes but you must read it from beginning to end.. the above is a quote from my jw friend, inactive for 30 years and thinking of sheepishly returning.

  is the book cited above a scholarly and dependable commentary on revelation?.

  I remember as a very young M.S., I was asked to be a bookstudy conductor (despite the fact Elders were available) due to the fact I had an excellent understanding of the book of Revelation.

  In reality, I had the jibberish in the book memorized.

  But being the kiss ass M.S. that most young M.S.'s are, I really began to research the information.

  I did not know it at the time, but this was the beginning of the end for me.

  Objective consideration of the material, combined with common sense, drew me to the conclusion that there was no basis for the stated beliefs. True meditation only raised more questions. The" generation" issue became something I could not ignore. What really bothered me was telling the friends about all the prophecies that came true concerning JW's. Many, make that all, were a big stretch.

  I am thankful for the Revelation book (both original and updated).

  It was a fan blowing the scent of bullshit straight at me!

  So what sacrifices did you make for da troof? Any regrets?

  a few years ago at the ca, there were experiences about what people had given up to serve jehovah.. (sidebar - in every instance where i personally knew those on the platform, the experiences were lies or at best half truths embroidered with lies.).

  anyway - the interviewer was constantly saying " as a <insert profession> you could have earned <insert salary>".

  what annoyed me was that somebody who gave up a full time job cleaning toilets for jehovah, and took a part time job cleaning toilets was not even invited to participate.. hb.

  My firm conducts business in several African locations. We are successful, not doe to "holy spirit", but rather we know that, there is a "way" to get things done over there.

  Idiots could have had it years ago! If they were educated and not waiting for some invisible, nonexistent force, to make the call.

  Blondie,

  I agree that I could always go back. My problem is time, I have dedicated myself to my career. It is very lucrative and extra schooling would interfere with my professional success. I don't need it now, it just would have been the easier route to go.

  But I also ask myself, If I did go to college, would I have been as driven as I am now.

  The bigger sacrifice I made was geting married at 23. Don't get wrong, I love my wife, I just didn't fall in love with her. At 23 I married the hottest sister I could find. I can't say I regret it, but I wonder who I would have married if I both matured and didn't marry quickly because those were the JW rules.

  Now that I am ou,t the only common ground is our kids.

  Yes. I did not get in trouble.

  I AM talking about apostasy.

  I have said it many times before, it's great to have a very compelling reason for them not to DF you.

  It's worth the risk.

  My wife didn't go all that crazy. It was obvious to her I was not into it.

  It also wasn't all that smooth. Almost a year later and we are good.

  All the best.

  All right, do JW's REALLY do not marry outside of their faith?

  i've been a lurker in this site for some time.

  i am not a jehovah's witness, but was here because i wanted to know more about the organization, since i am in love with a jw woman.

  she recently rejected me, on the grounds that "she would not risk her relationship with jehovah for someone who would die in (snap fingers)".
