So...Assuming God exists, if he were on trial and you were the prosecutor, how would you present your case?

by androb31 in

feel free to skip the intro down to the actual purpose of the thread lol!!.

i'm a born in, 32 years in and almost 6 out.

i've been out of the jw's since october of 2008. i came out due to a variety of factors, blood, historical roots, false teachings etc... my older sister helped me out back in 2008 and i subsequently helped my brother exit and the 3 of us became "born again" christians.. i've been mostly lurking but occasionally posting on jwn for around 5 years.

Million Now Living Will Never Die! - Rutherford could still be right

by Zoos in

rutherford began the millions campaign in 1918. new light suggests that he was obviously talking about babies who were born that year and now, in 2014 they would only be 96 years old.. .

i was looking through a census bureau report on people aged 90+ in the united states 2006-2008, with projections to the year 2050. according to the chart provided there are about 2 million people just in the united states that are over 90 years old.

we could conservatively cut that number in half to reach the 96 year-olds and then add in the rest of the world's figures.. .

Not that I believe it, and certainly this is not what the Judge menat, but seem to remember that it could be argued that those millions of people that died, could live again after being resurrected, and THEN NEVER DIE. IE this could be the "never die" that he was referring to.

Twisted spin on it but would not put it past some with high levels of dissonance.

My Elderette is returning today to CONDUCT another conversation...

by Faithful Witness in

she has had 42 years of training and indoctrination.

i'm feeling sort of nervous, but also looking forward to it.

this will be our second scheduled session together, and we never did agree on a topic.. i'm assuming she will come with an agenda and another prepared presentation.

Tell them that your house has been officially and formally been turned into a church to reach those that Christ wants to save. The ask if they will join hands with you to help sanctify this new building that the LORD is using to bring ones into being "born again" etc etc throw as much Jesus Freak lingo in there as possible. This will prevent them coming back into your home.

Also for added effect, tell them that some in your group have noticed a aura around the building.

"we must be ready to obey, even if it doesnt sound reasonable from a human standpoint"

by stuckinarut2 in

so its now all clear!.

the reason why that damned wt article several months back said the quote:.

"we may be asked to do something by jehovahs organization, and we should be ready to obey even if it doesnt seem reasonable from a human standpoint or not".

The reason the Society keeps everyone busy with "campaigns"

by stuckinarut2 in

im sure that many have had an experience where we try and keep little kids "occupied" while on a boring trip, such as a car ride or plane flight.. we come up with "games" like..."lets see how many green cars we can count", or "lets try and see who can sit still for the longest time".

"the winner gets a prize!".

obviously, until they are wise enough to cotton on, all we are doing is keeping them occupied to prevent them asking things like "are we there yet?!".

The WTBTS should personally be held for global warming with all the wasted fossil fuels.

Letter Read At Special Talk

by scotoma in

jw
friends

the watchtower arranged to have a letter read announcing that elders would now be apponted by circuit overseers.. any elders on this forum know how this will be different from the current arrangement for appointing elders.. it would be nice to see a schematic with boxes showing how it used to be and how it will be in the future..

notjustyet

I would think that if this is intended to be used as a shield for liability that it would only cover, if at all, the elders MS that have been appointed SINCE the change in procedure. So the ones that were appointed by the FDS pre Sept1 2014 would still be on the hook for any issues.

Or possibly do you think that after Sept 1 2014 and also after a CO visit, if one of the appointed men did something awry the WTBTS couls hang the blame on the CO for not removing the person, since it falls into his hand at that point in time.,

Is my clinging on to a belief in a Creator doing me any harm?

by KateWild in

i use the word clinging, as i feel that is what i am doing.

as far as my knowledge of science, namely chemistry is concerned, i am satisfied there is evidence of a creator.

i am happy to believe this.

Anyone able to understand what he said just when he started talking out loud? Just before the "Rest In Peace generation that will not pass away" is hard for me to understand. Kinda sounded like he had been imbibing. I think that I remember hearing that he downed a glass of wine at the memorial.
