Is the Watchtower an Apocalyptic or doomsday religion?
by jwfacts inimo the watchtower has a strong emphasis on eschatology and is one of the most prominent of the modern apocalyptic religions.

startfragment.

why I like this site
by nancy drew ini like this site (aside from the fact that we have the jw experience in common) because i have come to realize that all of you are very creative, interesting & courageous.
it takes a special person to exit the jw's.
we all of course are also very different & thats good because we can learn from each other.

How close is the "New World Order" 'conspiracy' to happening if true?
by EndofMysteries ini'm going to post this, as an opportunity for people to debunk, or realize how much in the dark they are.
i don't need to repeat the so called united the world under one government, (all of the "unions" the past 10 years which most are oblivious to).
nor do i need to repeat having a "one world currency", which most think won't ever happen in our lifetime.

Neither the Bible or Dictionary support the new light on the Generation
by wasblind inaccording to the governing body, the anointed who were on hand in 1914 will overlap the lives of todays anointed.
these two groups make up one generation.. "bull".
the bible supports the dictionaries definition of generation, matthew 1:1-17 shows abraham, isaac and jacob as three separate generations, verse 17 says: "all the generations, then, from abraham until david were fourteen generations.. the dictionaries definition say: all people born around the same time; a single stage in the descent of a family or group.
