Is anyone else completely astonished that they're drawing attention to 1914/2014 - 100 years
by jambon1 ini note that they're making reference to this in the upcoming convention programme.
someone has has dropped a bollock here, have they not?.
i mean, if i were a jw, i'd be sitting thinking of all the promises made and broken.

They are rebranding 1914. It will now mark the beginning of Christ ruling in heaven.
Hmm, I think you are on to something important, Kneehigh. Didn't he start ruling in 1918 according to earlier theology? The invisible return was supposed to be in 1914, but not the ruling.

Ha ha. it's nice to have him here. That little one-liner tells a lot
OK, he's got cold feet, but du you really think he think's they are so humble. But maybe it's humble to be Gods own self-proclaimed spokesmen?
Maybe it's humbleto demand of people to always obey?
I'm sure our panther knows better that that,.......but the AA (Armageddon Anxiety) can be overwhelming...and feet can be cold.
Play some ice-hockey and enjoy life, Panter....

JW.Org
by Kool Jo ini've been pondering......with this new "push" to direct individuals to thw jw.org website, even when the dubs are out preaching...what do you think the future will be for the preaching work?.
some time ago i read that the mormons have implemented a live chat feature that allows you to speak with their missionaries....i doubt the borg would do this, but i think they have something up their sleeves.. peace.
kool jo.

I wonder if there is anyone interested in the JW's that not will use Google to get som more facts than from the JW.org webpage? An experienced internet user is not that naive.

Aha! So he did get married to that young sister. That was a bit strange..acording to the new WT theology the GB shall be raptured in a short while (during the tribulation).
Maybe he wanted to enjoy som earthley and physical pleasures before the rapture. Who are we to blame him. Ruling with 143999 other kings could be a bit uninspiring.

Do you really want to be told who you cannot marry, how you can earn your living, how much fun you can have?
by Xanthippe inso my daughter is coming home from uni next week for the easter hols.
if she said to me i've joined this group that says i have to put them before my family, my health, earning money for food, recreation, getting married and eating.
oh no you've joined a cult!

Maybe it is true that the society expects to organisation to be smaller, but a more hard-liner one. Probably lots of visitors at the assemblies will react to the cultish approach to those subjects.

Troubling experience at 1 day assembly re: little jw child
by williamhconley injust had my 1day assembly this weekend.
an experience given by the bethel speaker was quite troubling and shows how jw's live in constant paranoia, anxiety and they isolate themselves from normal living.. a first grade class was having a fire drill.
everyone ( except one) lined up and stood outside away fron the classroom in the grass.

Hmm, this may be an urban legend. I heared this story in the 1980's at an assembly.
I reacted in the same way as you. People laughing about it made med feel really bad.

I think lawyers are being used to write all the literature
by EndofMysteries inif you think about how they word and spin doctor everything, such as on jw org, the faq about shunning members who leave the religion....if a jw says, "look, it says you don't shun ex members and family ties remain no matter what!
", they will say, "na ah ah!!
if you look closely it talks about inactive ones who are not shunned, and as for family, the example is of a husband in the same household as his wife and children.

They have a writing departement, that's for sure. But probably all litterature passes though the legal departemen before being published.
But this misleading about shunning can be a double-edged sword.
