The fact that the GB does this continuously without explanation or apology shows them to be as arrogant & heartless as the Scribes & Pharisees. I sincerely hope they suffer the same fate. (Where's that buring Hell when you need it the most?)

the bible, mans only sure guide, does not gloss over inconsistency; it does not wink at it or condone it.

Analysis of anti-607 BCE Rebuttals
by Ethos ini agreed yesterday to engage in the '607' topic.
i've read numerous threads and am well aware that this topic has been addressed and dissected quite thoroughly.
therefore, if you are uninterested in participating, that's fine.

Interesting discussion, but quite pointless. The beginning dates of a prophesy are only there to reinforce the fulfillment. As we are living during the claimed fulfillment, it's much easier to examine this evidence. As brought out continuously by many here and elsewhere, there is no credible evidence of any fulfillment. So, in the overall scope of things, I'd rather you argue for a recalculation of the "Gentile Times" as by all available evidence we're still in them.

The New Diary of Winston Smith
by WinstonSmith inwe had to go off grid for a time, time and half a time as we thought we had been outed.
fortunately it was a false alarm, but it was a stressful time.
i asked for my original diary thread to be deleted in case there could be anything on there to identlfy mrs smith and i. i am always very careful when posting, and am sure there was nothing on there, but felt it best to have it removed in order to be as cautious as a dove.

Hi & greetings Winston; I have a similar background. Married during the 75 scare & divorced a few years ago. While getting jerked around by the JC committee, I got fed up & started looking for the truth. After reading Ray Franz' C of C, I knew this was just another manmade religion. I personally think we're a considerable way from any intervention from God. So, in the meantime, I congratulate you & your wife. As always... Live Well....Enjoy Life.

Contributions ,how the Society CONTROLS the funds of a congragation
by raymond frantz ini'm not sure if anyone has started a post about contributions recently ,but if there is an accounts servant here please free to correct me or shed some more light .what i'm about to say is 100% accurate and applies to congragations in britain (don't ask me how just ...join the dots).
the society controls all the funds that are coming in the kingdom hall all of the time .the way this works out is as follows :you put any money in any of the contribution boxes and in the end all money are added to together and deposited to the congragation's bank account .the worldwide donations leave the account as a direct debit to the society every week and the rest stays in the account .now comes the interesting bit :once the account goes over 5000 we are instructed to send the rest to the society as a cheque and is held in their account for as long as the congragation doesn't needed back .this way all but 5000 are held in the society's account .any other experiences ?.

I think Jesus would waste no time in throwing these heartless, greedy, hypocritical & bloodguilty bastards in with the Scribes & Pharisees.

What Year Will JWs Start To Ask, Are The GB Pulling Our Leg? 2020, 2030 or 2050?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia ini can see this game being played until 2050, there is enough cash to last until the middle of the century, if all print is shut off.
when will the lights snap on, and the majority of the jws figure "we were tricked and let's keep our kids from making our mistakes.
how far can you see in your "mind's eyes" the barnums of bethel moving the circus tents before the audience realizes the show is long over?

I think with the advent of the internet, more & more WT children will wake up & leave. With a steady decline, especially in affluent & educated areas, the WT will have the cash eventually dry up. And, as we all heard a million times over "When Jehovah fails to provide, we'll take that as our work being complete". Hopefully sooner than later.

a really TRUE Christian wouldn't apologise
by stillin infor not having candy or treats to give the little beggars when they hit him up with "trick or treat?!".
a really true christian would give a tract about satan or the demons, or at least a quick sermon about how much god hates what they are doing.. i, on the other hand, apologised.
my wife is still very active and a heartfelt apology was the best i could do...but it's progress!.

Had a woman in a hall I went to that had a big poster on her door explaining to children why she didn't celebrate, inviting them back any other time for candy. I'm sure the 5-9 yr olds were impressed.

My introduction/experience
by happy@last ini have only just recently found this site, in fact only recently gone online to do research of my own about jws.
before i left i had only gone on my gut instinct, not even realising i was not alone with my feelings.
the week i was appointed an elder some 11 years ago, i had had to write to a congregation many miles away from me about how unloving they were (more details below).. not long after i started to have concerns about jws, expecially as the message of 'following the bibles message' subtly changed to 'follow the fds', this did not sit well with me.

Welcome H@L; You will find many of us who were elders, pioneers & Bethelites all realizing the corruption & hypocrisy of this organization. In the end, it is just another man made religion that actually is more bloodguilty than most. Happy to have you. As I always advise those looking ahead to a new future: Live Well...Enjoy Life.
