As Jesus prepared his eleven faithful disciples for his imminent departure he promised them;
"If you ask (me) anything in my name I will do it." (Jhn.14:14)
Although the word "me" has been omitted from the NWT the Interlinear shows that it was in the original Greek text. It is found in the oldest and most reliable manuscripts.
I did not know that, I learned something new today. I am also going to use this info. with some of my JW friends.
this isn't a joke and i don't post here often but i had a conversation with my grandma i found comical and thought i'd share.
my uncle lives far away and my grandma wants to go visit him but says she is afraid of the demons in his rental home.
she is afraid a demon might follow her home.
she is afraid of the demons in his rental home.
If I was a demon, I would be hanging out in a celebrity mansion.
hi, i'm new here but hadn't seen this mentioned anywhere yet.
during the "imitate jesus" rc there was a strange moment where they played a video of a brother trying to explain the 1914 teaching.
the brother quickly goes through all the scriptural "proofs" and the householder is dumbfounded.

They keep the date 1914 but get rid of the mathematical chronology and rely solely on the "composite sign" for proof. Not sure how they would explain this
Have to keep the date 1914 because so many things are tied to it. Satan was cast out of heaven, the last days started, Jesus started ruling, the organization was chosen, critical times hard to deal with are here, the preaching work in the last days that separates them from the rest of religions.
When it's finally time to come clean, this is what they will do;

When they finally drop it (and it will be huge, because they've based their entire religion on it), witnesses will rejoice.
Or maybe not. In trying to reasons with several of my JW acquaintances about 1914 , and that sooner or later they will have to drop it because of the length of time, they all tell me, "That can never happen, because if they do, then the organization was just a sham, a false prophet." I asked them, "If they do will you continue to stay in the organization?" They have all said, "NO WAY"
i almost had a freaking heart attack.
i even threw my coffee cup at the wall and starting yelling like crazy when i got the the 5th number correct.
i was checking my texas lottery ticket for this past saturday.
I'd claim anonymously, via trust,if I won big now. Winning would bring out all sorts begging/demanding and I'd worry about my safety. If I couldn't claim anonymously, I'd have a plane ticket booked and leave for 3 months minimum.
You can bet your winnings that the JWs would be doing shepherding calls on you. "Pleeease Help Brother"

"Strategy" in a game in which numbers are drawn randomly?Strangely, there is strategy. You can't improve your odds at all (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 is just as likely as any other result) BUT there are certain numbers that people play more - ones that make patterns on the tickets or birthdates etc... which mean that if you did happen to win with those numbers you'll be splitting the money with more winners.
Yes, that's actually true, I've been reading about that. There are certain probabilities that come into play. For example, the probability of the same winning numbers hitting twice in a row is more unlikely than a different set of numbers.

A friend of mine in the cong , about a decade ago , decided to revert to his hippie appearance and grew his hair in a long pony tail down his back. (he was a musician ) . He was barred from the platform, even the school
but the elders could not prevent him going door to door. That, they said , was a command of J Christ and they could not stop him demonstrating his faith ...

I only spend $2 a week. It's all random, but all you need to win is One time in your lifetime. I've met a few professional lottery players who play for a living. It's a job like anything else.
