  at our meeting last night there was a talk about having run out of magazines for the last three months.

  it's expected this will continue to happen.

  the "branch" has not sent the requested number of magazines.

  I think this elder needs to go back to 3rd grade and learn his times tables.

  Perhaps multiplication could be a topic for local needs talk.

  $17.00 seems like a high price point. In addition, why is there no Kindle version? I see a lot of exJW books out there, and have often wondered if the writers make enough money to justify the effort.

  How do you feel when you see the Witnesses in the door to door work? Angry, Sad, or dumbfounded?

  I live in midtown Manhattan so the probability of seeing a d2d witness is slim to none. When I see the carts I feel sad and angry.

  Are You "Technically" Still A Jehovah's Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  even if you don't regard yourself as a practicing jw, some may view you simply as inactive, a lost sheep, etc.. if you were baptized but not disfellowshipped or disassociated, you may still be a jw---right?

  your thoughts please..

  As far as I know I was never disfellowshipped. So, I guess that if I entered a KH I would be welcomed - however there is the issue of my beard and no necktie. So, I doubt I will be asked to say the opening prayer.

  ""armageddon is near""we're in the last of the last days""we will have three day conventions next year... jehovah willing""the work is speeding up""it's an invisible presence".

  snipe hunt.

  Yup. Guilty as charged.

  So, what happens at the end of a Snipe hunt? In my experience, everyone laughs and points to you as being such a fool.

  My goal is to get the last laugh. Remember that living a successful life is the greatest revenge.

  Spiritual AMNESTY -- Return to Jehovah

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  basically, from what i can tell from the new return to jehovah brochure, is that the governing body is now offering amnesty to anyone who has been gone from the congregation but now wants to return.. it claims it doesn't matter what sins you've done, or what caused you to leave, if you repent to jehovah and ask the elders to help you, and return to the meetings, you'll be warmly welcomed with no disciplinary action or judgment against you..

  Yea, right - If you believe that - perhaps I can interest you in a bridge that you can add to your investment portfolio for a small price.

  More Young Indoctrination

  not sure how wide spread this is, but from my social media land i saw 2 separate videos, from two halls in completely different towns featuring their kids having a demonstration on the service meeting (i am guessing last night as i didn't go).

  these kids are really young!

  maybe this was just a coincidence at first i thought it was the same video then realized theses people live hundreds of miles apart.

  Thanks for posting the video. But sorry I could not watch more that the first minute. I am almost 60 now and yet this video is dredging up those awkward moments when I was 7 years old as a JW in the school system as if they were yesterday. I would rather keep those demons at rest.

  Updated Chronological Timeline of the Great Tribulation -- after the New Light from July Watchtower

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the july 15, 2015 study watchtower article entitled "your deliverance is getting near", along with the jw broadcasting video entitled "gerrit losch: fortified by "the prophetic word," and chapter 21 of the god's kingdom rules!

  book presented a large amount of new light or clarified understanding of the events of the great tribulation.. here i am presenting it in chronological order -- this is the governing body's updated chronological order of events for the time right before the great tribulation through armageddon:.

  the final sealing of the anointed occurs just prior to the outbreak of the tribulation.

  What you describe, is not that much different that what I was taught.

  The problem is coming up with scriptures to justify the events and the order of events. My first awakening was going through what I was taught and trying to justify these events by scriptures - based upon what I found, it can't be done.
