  Latest WT kids' video

  by agonus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...features a young girl who is preparing to go out in service.

  this video was featured on youtube until it was "removed by the user".. .

  to me this is another indication that, in spite of surface efforts to appear to be "mainlining", the wt really, really does not want anyone other than already-dedicated dubs to be party to this material.. .

  Unproductive Anger

  by agonus in

  hi friends,.

  i have a feeling i may need to cut back a bit here.

  it's doing nothing but fueling my anger and i'm not sure that anger is any longer productive (kind of like the org itself).

  EXCLUSIVE NEW LIGHT! How to calculate the length of the overlapping generations - SCRIPTURALLY!

  by agonus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ok, so the one scripture that supports the "overlapping generations" doctrine is the one about joseph having brothers, right?.

  well, then, logically, if that scripture buttresses the glorious new light - and we know how long that "generation" was - we should be able to calculate the date for armageddon, no?.

  allowing for a maximum period starting with the year of the birth of the eldest brother (reuben if i'm not mistaken), and ending with the year of the death of the youngest (benjamin, correct?

  Several ways you can leave the WT money when you die - No subtlety here folks

  by agonus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the latest kool-aid edition (november 15th), there's an insert on page 22 entitled "ways in which some choose to give".

  in this short (less than 2 page) article, the word "death" appears no less than 3, count 'em, 3 times.

  "payable on death", "transfer on death", and "bequest at death" are all mentioned.. .

  i've been doing quite a bit of thinking, praying, and meditating as of late and i've decided to take my leave from this forum for the time being to focus on more positive and spiritual pursuits.i'm sure i'll check in now and again for tidbits and to say hi... in the meantime, y'all have been a great help on my journey to something or other.

  good night, good luck, god bless, and much love to all,

  So has the wt given up on prophecy altogether or what?

  by agonus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for decades they've produced massive tomes on their own peculiar brand of wt-centric prophecy, but it seems like the production of prophecy-related material as of late has slowed to a trickle, their last prophecy-related book that i can recall was the minor-prophets book released a few years back.

  however that book if i recall was very vague in its exposition, focusing on daily life application rather than eschatology.

  and yet the armageddon-end-times-obedience-"generation" drumbeat grows faster and louder with less and less exposition as to how or when exactly any of this is supposed to play out.
