  What will you do to celebrate Oct 2 2014?

  by jwfacts in

  like most people reading this, i was convinced that by 2014 the new system would 'definitely' have been operating for at least a decade.

  now that i know this is not going to be the case i am going to have to think of some way to recognise 100 years of wts let downs and failed predictions.

  there is no point fretting over the past so i think it will be a good time to celebrate.

  The Bible Students are celebrating too! Maybe they should put the past behind them and have a party with the JW's.

  Seriously?

  Are these replacing songs that they have copyright issues with? Why even go through the trouble of adding them, don't they have enough in the song book already that they aren't singing? Do these fill in some kind message missing from the current hymnal? I suppose the third one, telling God what his name is in song lest he not know that they have assigned that name to him.

  Going on the OFFENSIVE

  by Coded Logic in

  the wtbts has an easy time painting x-witnesses as apostates because the direction of information is entirely one way.

  and jws rarely get an opportunity to consider both sides of the equation for themselves.

  i think that websites like this one are a great tool for those who are already questioning their beliefs or are already entirely out.

  My two cents worth .... in Western lands, what is the point? Little if any new JW's are converts, the vast majority are born-ins getting baptized. What a colossal waste of time to warn the public about the lies and deception, the only people that think the JW's preaching efforts mean anything are JW's and ex-JW's, everyone else pretty much ignores them and their message.

  " Do not ask permission, just play the video--" service meeting instructions.

  by prologos in

  this statement startled me out of the pleasant mental absence during this week's "service" meeting.. pushing the org.

  explanation: "the listener has time to interrupt, if they want--" .

  together with an incredible boring "study" of an hand held device, or it's stored content, i will be a totally new crop of orgies at the halls,.

  During the age of the phonograph, I could be wrong, but I believe these were provided by "The Society". Just wait til Gramma's forced to purchase their little iPads (or androids) start dropping them while fumbling at the door and getting cracked screens. This could get costly for these folks.
