10JW Origins in New Brochures
by donuthole inone of the things i noticed in the two new brochures for the public is how the couch the modern day origins of jehovah's witnesses.
"in the 1870's a small group of bible students began rediscovering long-lost bible truths.
" - good news from god.

Wizard of Oz
by dontplaceliterature ini know plenty of jehovah's witnesses who own and love this movie.
in addition to that, i know some who are big fans of the musical, wicked.
i suppose anything having to do with these will be lumped into the garbage by end of summer?.

Apparently, the Wizard of Oz is not about Wizards at all, its about banking, at the highest Babylon the Great levels.
For instance, in the book, the Ruby slippers are silver, which represents the metal that was used as real money before the bankers sold us worthless paper.
The yellow brick road represents Gold and the gold standard.
The Emerald city represents the greenback.
The tin man represents industry.
The straw man farming.
And the Wizard is really just a harmless little man who decieves us with his tricks, just as we could crush the ruling bankers if we pulled back the curtain and see their frudulant act for what it really is.
If you Google it you can probably find a much more indepth analisis of this Great Depression story, and just as we are getting deeper into another manufactured depression, so you can still watch it, (providing its ok to watch films about Babylon the Great, Rev 18 = the fall of Jewish banking, not a lack of Christmas card sales!).

Sparlock is taking over.
by thenoblelodge inhow much interest has this little critter caused lol, so many threads created in his honor.
the dubbies probably won't even take the time to watch the dvd, they'll just be so happy that the dc is over for another year.
shame really because it's such an eye opener.. peace.

Occasional feelings of sadness about the JW experience
by Mr Facts indo you feel occassionally sad when you flash back at your life as a jw, may be you occassionally become overshadowed by regrets and bitter feelings and not knowing exactly what caused it.. some regretted wasted life while others regretted being trapped in what they feel was a cult.
do you experience anything similar.
how do you usually surmon up courage to stand up and forge ahead?.

I had a lovely house will a big garden, I sold it and moved to serve where the need might be greater, Iam now stuck in a poky little flat that I detest and am too old to return to my former position.
I also rejected all offers of Love from "wordly" girls during my attractive years, whereas Sisters would be told I wasnt "Spiritual enough", Iam now an old man who has missed the (Love) boat and can only imagine the happiness that could have been mine as I face the certainty of a lonely, miserable and wasted existance, my lovely children who will never be born.

She jumped off the dam...
by TimeBandit inback in 2003/4 when i was living in truth or consequences, new mexico there was this sister and her non witness husband that moved into our area.
it was plain to see that the sister was suffering from serious mental problems.
she was a very nice lady, but was unstable a lot of the time.

So very sad, and you, though being an "evil Apostate" as the Org would label you for posting here, reveal that it is you, not they, who have Jesus identifying mark of being a true Disciple, namely having Love amongst yourselves.

Where was Jehovah for people before The WTS?
by mrbunyrabit ini was just wondering, since the wts claims its the only true religion, and channel to god, where was jehovah for the people before the wts?.
how did they get to know truths?
i know it was "prophesied" that the true religion will die down, and come back at the end of the system, but um.... where was god for the poor people who didnt have th wts?.

Re your last line, I would say that as we havnt come to the end of the system yet, (though I belive it will be soon, just not 100 years ago), then the true religion will indeed come back, but it wont be a religion of man, it will be led by Jesus himself, it will be announced by the "Two Witnesses" who will perform the signs from the Bible in a literal sence, not the figurative sense the JWs put on all prophesy in a way that they can make apply to them.
As for who the "Two Witneses" will be? maybe Elijah and Moses, or two existing Humans, but one of them certainly wont be the Satanic Pyramid as the Witnesses claim.
Maybe this answers your first question as well, as the JWs are not the true religion, then mankind is at present in exactly the same position as it was before the IBSA, namely that God is available to any who sincerely want to fnd him.
As for Truth, its allways been in the Bible, when its required to know more specific "truths", then the high Priest Jesus will reveal it as per Daniel 12, it will be differant from the JWs "wise understanding" because, coming from Jesus, it will be correct from the start, and wont have to keep being revised and changed.

Here we go again on "false prophecies"
by booker-t inhi ex-jws on this board.
i have a question that needs answering.
for years i have read on this board ex-jws, born-agains, and other anti-jw group condemn jws for "false prophecies".

Rather than bringing up "false Prophets", why not bring up something else like the Generation teaching where Jesus himself says "Truly I tell you this generation will not pass away" and "Heaven and Earth will pass awat but my words will never pass away", yet that is what the Watchtower has done, thier own failed doctrine of man is more important to them than the words of Jesus, so in thier own eyes, they have said that Jesus is wrong so that they can be right.

Was I the most fanatic Witness or can you beat this??
by Witness 007 inat 18 after the quick build at our hall i gave up on a career {except window/toilet cleaning} and became a rabid pioneer/servant who, get this...made a plastic sleeve necklace so i could put my blood card in it!!!
i had one in my wallet and one hanging on my neck.. can anyone beat that?
fast forward to 2001 when fractions became a "conscience matter..." i remember shaking my head during that watchtower study...i destroyed my blood cards and asked my doctor to put me down as "no religion.

Surely with Jesus admonison to cut off various parts of ones body if it made you stumble, and the Watchtowers stern ruling against pulling the pud, there has to be someone who cut his goolies off?, That would be fanatical.
I did wonder if that would be my only option if I wanted to be a genuine JW rather than a pretend one who didnt actually fullfill all the requirements.
A brother in my congreagation enquired of his doctor if he could be chemically castrated, and he was married!, even JW wives it seemed to me were programmed to ensure you allways had a cross to bear.
Now, If you did attack yourself with a Stanley knife in order to Biblically do Gods will, would the society put you on the podiam at assemblies and give you your own chapter in Young People Ask, or would they disfellowship you for mutilating the body God gave you?
Would that be considered ironic?

" Some of the genuine annointed will still be on Earth when the tribulations come", well I should hope they are otherwise they have no chance of being killed in the manner of the original disiples, the following scripture doesnt say they die of old age.
Wonder what excuse the society will come up with when all the "genuine" annointed have died peacefully in their beds and the tribulations and persecutions of Gods people has yet to take place but there is nobody left to fullfill Revelation 6 v 11
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, [e] were killed just as they had been.
