  would you do a ray franz deal and write a book or keep quiet and live out the rest of your life in bethel?.

  would you keep reading the watchtower magazine?.

  It is so sad to contemplate - too sad. I think that is why all of the 70+ 80+ year olds now in (that I know) are depressed and clutching to this generation idea because they don't want to die in this system.

  One relative of mine said she knows something is wrong, but knows its the truth still.

  I have a 94 year elderly sister friend that I’ve known for about 45 years. She still pioneers and has relatively good health. She told me she knows for a fact that she will not die because she has sacrificed everything and Jehovah will reward her for all her sacrifices. I will never tell her the truth at this point. What good would it do?

  EVASION is necessary when FACT aren't on your side. Just ask the Watchtower leaders. . .

  if you have the facts on your side, you go with the facts.. if you are wrong you change your mind (the intellectually honest course of action.).

  however--what if you are not intellectually honest?.

  you evade!.

  Because men (--what men? Who exactly?) tried to fix the date when God would destroy modern Nineveh and God did not back up their prophecy.

  It's never clear is it.

  2. scandals

  do you think any of the members of the governing body have at one time in their lives committed an immoral sex act but never confessed?

  remember leo greenlees.

  fornication, adultery or something else?

  Leo Greenlees was forced out of Bethel in 1984 for practicing pedophilia. Seems he was fooling around with a ten year old boy, got caught, and the parents complained to the Society.

  The questions proliferate. Why did the GB not disfellowship Greenlees Clearly, Greenlees had committed fornication, so how did he get out of punishment for that? does it have more sinister implications, such as a desire to cover up gross sexual immorality on the part of other Watchtower officials?

  I don't think at that point in your life you would want to entertain any new ideas or possibilities. It would behoove you to delude yourself for the remainder of the voyage.

  Life could be brutal or soon over standing on a street corner begging with a tin cup at 80.

  It pays to keep in mind that thousands of people all over the world are living off the proceeds of the Watchtower Corporation.

  So for some there is no hope of escaping. So sad but so true.

  On Bart Ehrman's Blog+John's use of an early 'Signs document'

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the land of judea?

  he then did signs in judea (3:22).

  i think the greek is saying that this healing was jesus second sign, and he did this one after he had come from judea into galilee.

  They have no where else to go to build new relationships at that point in life. The JWs are their entire network. Doc

  I think so Doc, At some point a person has to surrender and bow down in defeat.

  I know a few elders who are still getting away with something sexual.

  It would be assuming most likely that from time to time the GB members glance on to this site in private though.

  You mean like this;
