Luk 21:8 And he said, "See that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he!' and, 'The time is at hand!' Do not go after them.

End of the world is May 21, 2011
by observador inhi guys,.
have you heard of this group?
take a look at the article.. it's amazing that journalists don't even mention the jw organization in this type of article, despite a rich history of this type of prediction and the number of followers in the us... just shows how irrelevant this organization has become.. article here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110103/ap_on_re/us_rel_apocalypse_soon.

Harold Camping also predicted the return of Christ for 1994, so we are already dealing with a "revised" chronology. Oops.

if you could ask wl to dig up information about any curiosity you have concerning this cult....what would you have them investigate?.

I'd like to see a comparitive psykological analysis between people living in the JW Org., and people living in mariage with an abusive psychopath.
How about those who had to do both at the same time?

Scriptural proof on elders
by Joey Jo-Jo inhi,.
is there any scriptural proof that the word elder in the ot and nt can refer to people of any age that have a duty of responsibility.
i believe it only refers to people of old age with wisdom but the insight book is trying to say otherwise, their scriptures quoted do not really point out to any real evidence.. .

Timothy was both a young man and an elder, was he not? Sorry, I'd quote some passages, but I'm staying in a hotel over the holiday weekend, and my laptop doesn't have my Bible software on it.

Christmas visit from the elders
by MrFreeze inyes the elders made another stop to continue to try to get me back to the meetings.
my main argument with them has been the incorrect dates.
607, 1914. they said i need to stop focusing on dates.

He probably had his own secret sin which he was trying to conceal, and couldn't imagine that someone else wouldn't be the same.
LOL good point. That actually never occurred to me.

During the discussion they were trying to dig into the reasons for me leaving. It couldn't possibly be the teachings! They asked, "Is it a girl? Is it drugs? Is it alcohol?" No on all three, except the third. In that case however, Jehovah's Witnesses have driven me to alcohol. They also used the opportunity to bash on Christmas. Another fun discussion with these "shepherds".
I had a similar experience with a trainee CO. He came by with the regular CO to "help" me with my "doubts" and instead tried to grill me about what sort of secret sin I was trying to conceal/justify by pretending I had doubts about Jehovah's organization. He just couldn't comprehend the idea that someone might have ACTUAL DOUBTS about the organization.

does today's daily text fly in the face of disfellowshipping and shunning?
by therevealer in*** es10 p. 126 december ***.
friday, december 24. happy are the peaceable, since they will be called "sons of god."-matt.
5:9.. if we are the kind of people whom jesus had in mind, we are peaceable and do not render injury for injury to anyone.

Peacemakers do not do anything that ‘separates those familiar with one another.'
The JW's would claim that it is the person who commits the disfellowshipping offense who is responsible for causing the separation. Not anything the organization does, of course.
