so it's not enough that i'm dealing with post traumatic stress/anxiety and panic attacks all related to my life as a jw (50 years baptized -- i stopped going a couple of months ago) at 3 a.m. i get an email from the other side of the world.
'you have to go to the convention.
bro sanderson says we must watch the news, things are happening.
Yes, every year they imply that that convention or memorial may be the last one...
Every convention hits the drum of something like "we are in the last days of the last days", "the end is imminent", ect... and it has been so for over a hundred years.
jw believe that jworg is the best website and most translated in the world.. i heard this today in streetservice.
there was already a thread about this subject.
anybody can link it?.
If they had the Truth, the website could certainly be more robust. They could go into depth, show their research, full quotes, ect...
One could make the excuse that the printed magazines don't have enough room. But this need not apply to the website.

no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.
instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .
Most JWs will watch and forget. The year 1975 isn't even mentioned, so some, especially the public, Bible studies, young JWs might not even be aware what they are talking about. Perhaps it was just some crazy people in that man's congregation or circuit for all they know, not an organizational problem.
Those who are vaguely aware of 1975 will simply repeat the line Watchtower gives them. Some individuals ran ahead, were seeking a date, ect...
for those who've never read these incredible books by our friend ray franz.. here are links for both.
.
happy reading!.
I bought both book and electronic copies legit over 5 years ago. I would do it again.
However, at this point, I'm all for people distributing this by any means necessary for the greater good. It's time for this to be public domain and open source.
ray publisherer interviewed one-time bethelite peon "brock talon" about four years ago and i'm now reading talon's book journey to bethel.
for those of you who may not be jws (and even those who were and are), that journey provides a fascinating insight into the pecking order at "god's house"... at least how it was in the early 80s.
and it's a book even the rank-and-file faithful would find amusing.
“there may be occasions when it would be good for us to reconsider a choice or decision.
it could be when the prevailing circumstances change.
jehovah altered his decision at times when circumstances changed.
I wonder if the LDC building few new Kingdom Halls, but mostly consolidating existing one is one such decision they are referring too.
ok i'am old so i need some help to understand this new thing, what's the point in marrying yourself?
this sound like a gb brain storm idea....i guess you can never commit adultery....
Young People Ask: Should I Marry Myself?
an almost 3-year old was watching a video on an obsolete phone given to him by his mama.. the video was of the joker manhandling spider man, the tyke's hero.. the villain and the hero were in a driveway that was similar to that of the house where tyke lived.. he handed the phone to his grandma, stating, "hold my iphone, grandma, while i go outside.".
"to beat up the joker because he's getting on my nerves!".
true story that i personally witnessed..
The Joker in the DC universe, and Spider-man in the Marvel one.
What are they teaching their three year old?

You will need a chaperone at all times until you get married.
And forget driving anywhere by yourself...with just you and yourself in the car alone together, who knows what could happen....
1) they begin question .
2) they stop field service.
3) they stop going to kingdumb hall.
When they know JWs are not "the Truth" and why. In particular, when they realize not only is the religion not true, but it is a cult.
