  convinced 95% of all active jw's don't have a clue as to where 1914 originates

  so talking with my wife last night...i was explaining to her about a conversation i had with a person at work about end times.

  he has a strange belief that some scriptures in isaiah perdict something huge is going to happen in september of 2015. she then states that no one can predict the future only the father knows and he is in a cult.

  lol on the inside.. i then stated "what about 1914 and the dubs perdiction and what it means today" she said no there was never any predictions.

  Having experienced almost the same situation I can say dont go. The more you go the more you will begin to squirm in your seat. It is very hard to tune out the meetings. There were times where I literally almost blurted out stuff at the meetings. Thankfully, in time, she left on her own. Had she not i Think eventually we both wouldve agreed for me not to go.

  IC 2014 talk: "A Century of Kingdom Rule Contrasted With a Century of Satan’s Rule"

  a discussion of this talk on friday morning deserves its own thread.

  as i said elsewhere, it was a remarkable one.

  the speaker was manfred vencebi (google him - he's a bethel bigwig) and some of his remarks are real gems.

  So, to sum it up, THE END IS NEAR! WE ARE THE BEST! THIS WORLD SUCKS! LISTEN OBEY BE BLESSED!

  Why couldnt they save the sheep millions of dollars of hotel money, gas money, food money and new clothes money and just reapeat these 4 statements over and over like a mantra at the meeting one night? Oh wait...they do.

  If a child cant legally marry another person, why should they be allowed to marry god. Baptizism in this religion is a life long dedication,of which, there is severe consequences if one breaks the dedication. Once a child signs on the dotted line by getting their head dunked, their lives are owned by a company and its rules. If I had "followed" Jesus' example and waited till I was thirty to get baptized instead of 9, I never would have done it since I left the org when I was 28!

  just wondering to those that have gone to one of the international or rc assemblies what's the attendance been like.

  wondering if people are still willing to spend so much money and travel to go to a convention or if more people are just saying no??

  I saw pics on Instagram and they had a huge signs ( I would guess a 6 feet by 6) of JW.org at each corner of the floor. Lots of empty seats. Seems like a waste of a venue since it seat 71000+.

  The spanish Int in houston was at around 30,000. It was held at the Reliant Stadium. However, they were expecting 40,000-50,000. It was spanish from all of Texas and Louisiana. I think only about 30 were baptized. Thats about .01%.

  I was "totally" stopped in my tracks by an "atheist" comment.

  by booker-t in

  2. beliefs

  i must admit i can at times be a little "egotistical" when it comes to knowledge and the bible.

  i have studied the bible for so long and have always had a passion for the bible as a jw and as an ex-jw.

  i guess that is all i have left when it comes to religion and as humans we do tend to stroke our egos.

  Last night I spoke to my friend (who is also out) whos Bro is an Elder Serving in bethel. He said one change has to do with the ministry, the other is a major doctrinal change. He also hinted at a major publication being revised ( im guessing reasoning book). It will be announced at this year's company meeting ( which he mentioned will now be officially done the way it was done last year). This will be announced by letter sometime in August or at the before the beggining pf the new service year. He said "Since we are all domestics, we should all participate in the annual meeting". His bro told him all this because he feels the same thing about gods chariot and he wants him to come back...blah blah blah

  My theory on what all this money is for is: advertisement. I think we will see the move into internet and tv advertisements. Why not? It will cost money but this is exactly what they will have very much of after may 31st. It's a new Kingdom century strategy an old century twist, Advertise! Advertise! Advertise!
