disillusioned 2
Fortunately I didn't die then and got to bring up my baby.
That's a big deal, I knew a few who did refused and died. that was about 40 years ago. They missed out on a lot. Now I feel sorry for them. They had no idea.

How strong were you in “The Truth?”
by John Aquila inwhen you were still asleep in the watchtower organization and had no idea of ttatt.
what would you have done if you were in a serious accident and all of a sudden you woke up in the emergency hospital room with all the brothers and sisters at your side and your spouse cheering you on to be faithful to jehovah.
then the doctor comes up to you and tells you that you are about to go into surgery because there is no time to lose and the only way to live is to take a blood transfusion ?

When you were still asleep in the Watchtower Organization and had no idea of TTATT. Not one bit.
What would you have done if you were in a serious accident and all of a sudden you woke up in the emergency hospital room with all the brothers and sisters at your side and your spouse cheering you on to be faithful to Jehovah.
Then the doctor comes up to you and tells you that you are about to go into surgery because there is no time to lose and the only way to live is to take a blood transfusion ?
Would you have been willing to die and leave your family just to stay faithful to Jehovah? Or would you have succumbed to a lack of faith and taken the blood?
Aren’t you glad you never had to deal with it?

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.

If I was a demon, I would be hanging out in a celebrity mansion.

Strange Moment During The 2015 Regional Convention
by JW_Rogue inhi, 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'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.
Joan R. Ginther, who has won 4 different million dollar lottery payouts is a former math professor with a PhD from Stanford University specialising in statistics. She refuse to give any interviews..
According to Forbes, the residents of Bishop, Texas, where she bought the tickets, seem to believe God was behind it all. -

James Mixon, if you won millions, would you claim the winnings under your name or would you claim the winnings under a Trust to remain anonymous?
